Jewelry--Inspired by Nature
Mother Nature and Crayola Model Magic® Fusion™ make a great combination! Make jewelry for any season or to give as gifts.
1. Let nature inspire your jewelry making. Here are just a few ideas to get you started creating earrings, pins, pendants, or any jewelry you wish! Experiment! Combine different colors of Crayola Model Magic® Fusion™ compound to get new hues. Mix just a little for a marbled effect, or more for new hues.
2. With Crayola Scissors, cut plastic straws into short sections and form beads around them. Use your fingers to shape jewelry pieces, or use cookie cutters or candy molds. Make bases for your original jewelry designs, such as leaves, suns, or stars. The Naturals colors are great for twigs, bark, and autumn leaves. To make rose petals, stick small, flattened circles together in layers.
3. Insects can inspire you, too. Roll a coil into a spiral and it looks like snail. Stack different colored shapes on top of each other to make ladybugs and caterpillars. Curl pieces of small-gauge wire to look like insect antennae. The possibilities are endless!
4. Press a paperclip into the top of a pendant so one end sticks out to hold a cord or ribbon. Use Crayola School Glue to secure pin backs. To insert earring backs, make holes with a toothpick. Fusion dries to the touch overnight and air-dries completely in 2 or 3 days.
5. Hang pendants or string beads on satin cord, ribbon, or yarn. Decorate your creations with Crayola Squeezables® 3-D Paints, Glitter Glue, and/or Markers.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough With Small Parts—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—
- Keep away from open flames. Do not use to make candleholders, hot plates, trivets, or other similar objects that will be used or placed near fire and other heat sources.
- Do not put in an oven, microwave, or kiln.
- Do not make into vessels/containers that will hold unpackaged food.
- If the arts & crafts project involves making small objects, follow the small parts/choking hazards standards: WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years."
- The use of modeling material to make items that look like food is discouraged for children younger than age 5 to avoid their confusion with real food.
- Unless sealed with a water-resistant glaze, do not make projects exposed to or immersed in water, such as boats or outdoor bird feeders. They would disintegrate when exposed to moisture.
- Crayola Dough—contains gluten (wheat flour) as an ingredient. Crayola Air-Dry Clay, Crayola Model Magic, and Model Magic Fusion are gluten-free. However, they are produced on the same machinery as Crayola Dough which does contain gluten. Although the machines are cleaned prior to the start of each production run, there is a slight possibility that trace amounts of gluten from Crayola Dough may be present in the other modeling compound products. For information regarding specific ingredients or allergic concerns, please call our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Modeling Tools—Use the least dangerous point or edge sufficient to do the job. For example, craft sticks, plastic knives and forks, and cookie cutters can cut or carve modeling materials.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
Wood—By its nature, wood is rough and may contain splinters or sharp points
