How To Make Polymer Clay Awareness Ribbons | Posh Pooch Designs

I was asked if I had a video on how to make 

Polymer Clay Awareness Ribbons.

I made a pendant video, but not one especially

 for the ribbons. So, I made one today!

I wanted to keep it simple, but also pretty.

 So this is what I came up with.
I show you 2 Styles. A Ribbon on a pendant, 
as well as, the basic Ribbon.

Here is a Chart Of Some of the Awareness Ribbon colors.
If you do not see the ribbon color you need, try Googling it.
 There are a lot more than what are on this chart.

This one is Purple "Against Animal Abuse".

So I put it on the Dog Bone Pendant.

See The Video on my Youtube Channel at This LINK

What You Need:
Polymer Clay - Your choice of 1 or more colors
Rolling Pin
Small Cookie cutters - I used a heart and a butterfly

Parchment Paper - Line pan and work surface

Optional Supplies:

Gems
E6000 Glue
Tooth picks
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Polish

You will need pre-heart your oven to 275 degrees.
 Bake your pieces for 15 minutes. 

What You need to make a Yarn Chain:

Crochet Hook - G 4.25 mm

Yarn Weight 3 or 4 - small amount

Form a Slip knot and Chain  40 or more chains. 

It needs to be long enough to slip over your head.

Cut yarn, tie off. Place the ends together and tie a knot.

Place Pendant on the chain as shown in the video.

Other things to use for the necklace - ribbon, lace, 

leather, string, or jute.

I really enjoyed making these and love how they turned out.
This is a great project for fund raisers, craft sales

Easy Front Post Cowl
Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach of
 Posh Pooch Designs

This is a great crochet pattern for practicing 

Foundation Double Crochet  and Front Post Stitches.
Have figured out the New Color Pooling Technique?
I received some of the New Red Heart Pooling Yarn
 - Called Haute Pooling.
The other Pooling Colorways at This LINK
These Yarns are made with even 12 inch stripes of color 
to make it easier to "pool" the colors of the yarn.

This Cowl works
 up really fast, 
and once you learn

 the stitches, 
it is really easy.
Easily adjusted
 to any size - 
make it as long 
or wide as 
you want!

This Cowl is made using  
Red Heart Super Saver Neon Stripes.

How I Do " The Russian Join" For Changing Colors | Posh Pooch Designs

When I was learning to Crochet, I learned how to do this

 method of joining for changing colors. I didn't know it 

was called the " Russian Join Method" till many years

 later. I Love it and use it anytime I can.

I mean who wouldn't want to weave in less ends?

See The Video on my Youtube Channel 

at This LINK

So Here is how I do the Russian Join

1. Thread the 1st color onto your needle.

2. Turn and put your needle through the yarn, 

and make a few stitches.

3. Pull the needle through and form a loop.

4. Thread the other color onto the needle,

put the needle through the loop.

5. Turn and put your needle through the yarn, 

and make a few stitches.

 Pull the needle through and form a another loop.

7. Gently pull the ends of the yarn.

7. And Pull till you have closed the loops

8. Now you can chain or stitch whatever pattern

 you were working on. Snip off the ends of the yarn.

9. There is nothing to weave in!
