Description

They turned out great and look pretty real! :)

Instructions

  1. Small steps1 6

    STEP 1: Separate two balls of polymer clay, smaller than the size of a golf ball. STEP 2: Roll them both out into cones that create a point at the end. STEP 3: Bend them down like so. STEP 4: Cut a chunk of polymer clay from your earrings. Then push the earring post into it. STEP 5: Take a tiny bit of clay, squish it so its flat and put it over earring post, this helps to secure it. Smooth it out with your fingers. STEP 6: Attach the clasp part of the earring into the rest of the polymer clay piece. Use the earring to poke a hole all the way through the clasp and into the polymer clay. Make sure not to move it too much after this so you don't close the hole.

  2. Small step7 finish

    STEP 7: Bake according to directions and after push earring into polymer clay to make a definite hole. Wear them and make a rockin' statement! :) Happy Crafting!
