Materials and tools:

  • Polymer clay (Pardo Transparent and Cernit Nature Savanna)
  • Machine
  • LC Mini Slicer
  • Sharp blade – LC Handy Blade
  • Cutter
  • Sandpaper
  • Mini-drill
  • Jump rings and earring hooks

 

Step 1

Start by making a bullseye. Condition translucent polymer clay and make a log.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2

Then condition savanna polymer clay and make a sheet.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3

Cut the sheet so it can completely wrap around the log. Now, you have a simple bullseye. Reduce it and cut it in half. Reduce one part a little more.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4

Cut both bullseyes into smaller pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

Press all pieces together and roll. Reduce it and cut it again in half. 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6

Press both parts together. Now form a square cane and reduce it. Again cut it in half and press it together. Repeat as many times as you like. I ended up with a block-shaped cane. Then I added two blocks of savanna clay.

 

 

 

 

Step 7

Let the cane rest before cutting. I recommend a day or two. Cut 2 mm thick slices. To avoid distorting your cane, try to wrap it with light scrap clay.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8

Cut using a round triangle cookie cutter and remove the excess clay. Bake all parts according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9

Sand edges. Drill holes. Then add jump rings and your earrings are ready.
