Learn how to craft beautiful polymer clay earrings the easy way! This new, revolutionary product has the designs already in the clay! Simply cut, bake and assemble!
Step 1 |
Ensure your work area is clean, dry and free of dust. Roll out the clay slab to the desired thickness using a roller. Alternate between rolling horizontally and vertically to preserve the design. Use the thickness guides to roll the clay out to a 3mm thickness. |
Step 2 |
Lightly dust the clay with cornstarch to prevent it from sticking. Place the cutter on the slab and press down to cut out shapes. |
Step 3 |
Preheat the oven to 250°F [120°C] and allow the oven to come to temperature. Place the clay piece carefully on the oven-safe baking sheet lined with parchment paper; then put it into the oven for 15-20 minutes. |
Step 4 |
Use a clay awl to poke a hole in the top edge of the shape. |
Step 5 |
Once baked, remove the clay slab piece from the oven and allow it to cool completely before handling. |
Step 6 |
Slide a bead through the eye pin, then bend the eye pin to a 90° angle and cut it, leaving a ¼" [0.6 cm] tail. Make a simple loop using round pliers. Repeat this process to create one more bead connector. |
Step 7 |
Attach bead connectors by opening and closing the loops using flat pliers. |
Step 8 |
Attach the bead connector to the earring wire using a 9mm jump ring. Open and close the jump ring using flat pliers to secure the bead connector in place. |
Step 9 |
Attach the clay shape to the bead connector using a 9mm jump ring. Open and close the jump ring using flat pliers to secure the clay shape in place. |
Step 10 |
Repeat all steps to make the second earring. |
