Here’s how to DIY a fantastic pair of polymer clay tassel earrings.
I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to polymer clay, but I can show you the basics! Here’s how to put together a pair of polymer clay and tassel statement earrings.
These tools and materials will help you make your polymer clay earrings:
1: Pliers. flat nose and round nose pliers.
2: Polymer clay. I used pink and purple Sculpy because it is nice and soft which makes it easy to work with.
3: A foil tray for baking your clay on.
4: Some baking paper for moulding and baking your clay.
5: Four large jump rings.
5: Two charm connector stud earring findings.
6: Two head pins.
7: Two small beads.
8: A hot glue gun and glue.
9: Two tassels.
10: A skewer.
11: An oven.
Follow these steps to make your polymer clay earrings:
1: Roll the clay into balls and strands and then squeeze them into a circle shape.
2: Poke two holes in each of the polymer clay circles using the skewer.
3: Put the clay pieces onto the baking paper and place them in your foil tray.
4: Bake the clay pieces. I baked mine in my oven on the lowest setting for about 20 minutes. I recommend following the instructions on your clay packet for the best results.
5: Let your pieces cool once you’ve taken them out of the oven.
6: While you are waiting for the polymer clay pieces to bake and cool, follow the steps in this video to make two tassel charms.
7: Add one of the large jump rings to one of the polymer clay charm holes.
8: Attach one of the tassels to the open jump ring and close it to secure the pieces together.
9: Repeat steps 7 and 8 for the other earring.
10: Add a the remaining jump rings to the tops of the polymer clay charms and attach the earring posts. Close the top jump rings to secure the earring posts to the polymer clay charms.
Now your earrings are finished! How cute are these statement earrings?! I love how high impact they look with the long dangling tassels.
