Another way to make polymer clay statement earrings
If you like the look of polymer clay earrings, I have another fun tutorial for you! These earrings combine polymer clay with beaded tassels for a fun statement look.
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your polymer clay statement earrings:
1: Pliers. I used my round nose and flat nose pliers.
2: Polymer clay. I used sculpey in pink and purple.
3: Two large jump rings.
4: Two small jump rings.
5: Six head pins.
6: Two glue on stud earrings.
7: Beads. I used these shiny yellow glass beads.
8: Two part epoxy glue.
9: A skewer.
9: A scrap piece of paper.
10: Some baking paper.
11: Foil.
12: An oven.
Follow these steps to make your earrings:
1: Mix the polymer clay and form it into two rectangle shapes.
2: Poke holes in each of the polymer clay charms. Make them big enough to slide a jump ring through.
3: Bake the polymer clay in the oven, following the instructions on the polymer clay package. Bake them in the foil tray you made. I baked mine on a low heat.
4: Take your clay out and leave it to cool.
5: Add the beads to the head pins.
6: Bend the top of the pins to form a right angle.
7: Loop the top of the pin to secure the beads in place.
8: Loop all the pins following steps 6 and 7.
9: Separate the pins in half and add three to each of the small jump rings. Close the rings to form the beaded tassels.
10: Squeeze out the glue in equal parts and mix it with the skewer.
11: Add the glue to the earring posts and the polymer clay charms.
12: Set the polymer clay charms aside to dry.
13: When the glue is dry add one of the big jump rings to the bottom of the polymer clay charm by putting it through the hole you made before you baked it.
14: Repeat for the second earring.
15: Add the tassel charms to both of the polymer clay earrings, closing the jump rings to secure them in place.
Now your earrings are finished and ready to wear! How fun are colorful are these babies?
