This is a tutorial for stud earrings looking like the french cookies, macarons. They are made of polymer clay and you don't need any special tools to make them.
The materials you need are two different colours of polymer clay, one for the macaron cookies and one for the filling. You need a toothpick, some superglue, some sort of blade or knife, and earring posts.
Start by rolling two small balls out of one of the colours of polymer clay. Press down an the balls creating two discs. This will become one of the macaron cookies.
Place the discs on top of each other and press them together slightly.
With the toothpick distress the sides of the lower disc mimicking the feet of macarons.
Repeat steps 2-4 again so you have two macaron cookies made up of a total of four discs.
Roll a small ball out of the other colour of polymer clay. Press down on it creating a thin disc (thinner than previously).
You should now have two macaron cookies and one disc of the lighter colour for the filling.
Press the three layers together making sure that the "feet" of the macarons (the distressed part) are toward the middle.
With the blade cut the macaron in two.
You should now have two halves of a complete macaron. Bake the polymer clay macaron halves according to the polymer clay packaging. This differs between different brands of polymer clay, so make sure to read on the packaging.
Use superglue to glue the earring posts to the back of the macaron halves.
Enjoy your macaron earrings!
