Materials and tools:
- Polymer clay
- Machine
- Czextuder + LC Disk 1 or 3 (extension with small holes)
- Scalpel, blade
- Cookie cutters (round)
- Texture sponge (aluminum foil)
- Stud earrings findings
Step 1
Condition polymer clay. Put the clay into the Czextruder. Use the extension with small holes from LC Disk 1 or 3 and extrude the clay.
Step 2
Press extrusions together.
Step 3
Cut it into smaller pieces.
Step 4
Make a thin sheet of clay. Place the extrusions and press all parts together.
Step 5
Cut using a round cookie cutter. Remove the excess clay. Make both earrings the same way. Bake all parts according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 6
Make another sheet of clay and texturize it. I used a crumpled aluminum foil. Cut using the same cookie cutter. Make a small hole with a needle tool or pin. There you will add the earring post.
Step 7
Cover the backside of the baked part with liquid clay. Place the textured part, but don’t forget to add an earring post.
Step 8
Bake it again. Sand edges and your earrings are ready.
Step 9
You can make earrings with different patterns.
