You can use a cookie cutter to get a heart shape, or you can do it yourself. To form a heart, make a v-shaped indent on one side of the clay circle. Then pinch the opposite side of the circle to shape the bottom of the heart.

Make Space for the Ring

Take a nickel and insert it horizontally in the middle of the clay heart. Push it in and wiggle it back and forth to make the space for the ring.

Harden the Clay

If you need to bake the clay, follow the manufacturer's instructions to harden the clay. If the clay you used needs to air-dry, put it somewhere safe and wait for it to harden.

Insert the Ring
