Make Your Own.... Jewelry??? Mid 90s

[Mysstica]

I saw the episode of Babysitters Club in which Claudia makes jewelry, and it sparked a memory for me. When I was younger, I had a sort of jewelry-making playset. (I don't remember if it stayed soft or hardened or you baked it or what.) I actually am not sure if it was jewelry we were making... but here is what I do know:

*You used a white spongy material (kind of like clay, but airy and springy) to make the jewelry (or whatever it made)
*There was some sort of machine that flattened out the spongy material to a uniform thickness
*It came with really, really fine glitter too add to the spongy material
*I seem to remember there being pictures to transfer to the spongy material

That's it for now. Not much to go on, I know.

was it something like this?

[pikapal]

Was it possibly made by Tyco, Did it have molds or cookie cutter type things? Possibly a zebra and star shapes?

[zuse]

I know that I had that, but I can't think of what it was either! It's pretty much the faintest memory ever!

[zuse]

For some reason, I remember rhinestones. I think.

EDIT: I think it probably was one of the many Jazzy Jewelry playsets by Crayola (1993ish). I remember a set that had the purple plastic shapes, black cord, and wire hoop earrings. And I didn't have many jewelry sets (my others were Lisa Frank Bead Mania and some frosty glass bead sets).

Some of the sets: Glitter Gems, Hip Hoops, Bead Shop, Rollup Beads, Fabulous Frames, and Charm Machine.

Still not sure if this is it, though. I'm definitely remembering a white clay and making it into small flower shapes with a mold and then attaching them to earring backings, etc. And there was glitter and rhinestones. What was this set?!?

Did the machine look like a pinkish purple easy Bake Oven? If it did it may have been a Easy2Do jewelry maker I had one when I was little it came with a white foamy play-doh like material that you put in mold and "cooked" by light bulb in the oven then when it cooled you could paint it and add glitter,jewels etc.

[zuse]

I don't remember a light bulb thing?

[Bren41882]

Yeah it was called Easy2Do and worked like a easy bake oven my grandma got it for me cause she couldn't find the easy bake oven i asked for. I remember the necklace mold was rather small and the necklaces i made with it ended up on my dolls if they didn't break. The finished jewelry was rather fragile. Unfortunaly I can't find any pics or refances to anywhere any help would be apprecated.

[Mysstica]

Hmm... that doesn't sound quite right. I remember the jewelry being thick enough and not fragile and I also don't remember a light bulb, BUT I could be wrong!

Please mind the brainstorm here...

FINALLY, a 90s clay MYO jewelry kit! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Disney-Lion-King-Fashion-Magic-Craft-Jewelry-Kit-1994-/370164497052?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item562f85fa9c

So... was it Fashion Magic??? Fashion Magic Cool Jewels, maybe?... http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1957&dat=19931121&id=4WEzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=3-AFAAAAIBAJ&pg=6275,4979830

"Modelling Compound, glitter..." Hmm... http://www.trademarkia.com/fashion-magic-74302188.html

Fashion Magic Nails... looks like it had been bought by Mattel by then... but I totally remember this commercial! Starts at 9:40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBhi_Th80oc

I think Fashion Magic was the thing my neighbor had. We played with it in 1995, but it could have been a earlier set.

[zuse]

Here are some pieces. Do they look familiar?

I feel like I totally had one of these sets. I remember the roller. But I think my clay was all white? I *think* mine had an ocean theme? (starfish, shells?) Looking closer under the "Molding" category, I think I remember the flower. And my set had glitter. And I know that there were clear plastic hair combs for decorating.

I saw those pieces on ebay, but they didn't look familiar, so I didn't post the link. I want to say that the clay came in clear wrap, not a tub. But the clay in the ebay lot isn't Fashion Magic; I think it said it was Crayola.

EDIT: Ahhhh, looks like I got that backwards! The clay IS Fashion Magic, but the pieces are Crayola; the pink thing you squeeze together says Crayola on it.

EDIT ... again: *giggle* Okay, so the blue and pink plates are also Fashion Magic. The zig-zag pattern ("W") looks a little familiar, but I'm not so sure.

Did you look at the instruction sheet pdf?
