I was craving a bit of spring. I wanted something colorful that I could take with me. What better than earrings? What better than fruit?

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 2 Colors Sculpey
  • 2 Earring Studs
  • Nail Polish
  • Heavy Duty Glue

Steps (17 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your sculpey/fimo/etc. I will be using black and white for this how-to because it is easier to see what I am doing.

  2. 2

    Knead your sculpey/fimo/etc.

  3. 3

    Now knead the other color.

  4. 4

    Roll 2 very small balls.

  5. 5

    Now flatten it. Not too flat, though. About the thickness in the picture.

  6. 6

    You should now have 2 shapes like this (picture).

  7. 7

    Change colors. Make a tiny triangle or leaf shape.

  8. 8

    Attach it to the top of your circle as shown.

  9. 9

    Make another tiny triangle/leaf shape. Attach it to one side of the center leaf, as shown.

  10. 10

    Make another tiny triangle/leaf shape. Attach it to one side of the center leaf, as shown.

  11. 11

    Also, make a teeny tiny ball with your leaf color and squish it a bit on top. Repeat steps 7 – 12 on your 2nd circle. Bake as per the instructions on your package.

  12. 12

    Grab your glue.

  13. 13

    Glue the studs to your strawberries.

  14. 14

    Grab something with a tiny tip. I used a safety pin, but I am sure a toothpick or something small like it would work too.

  15. 15

    Grab your nail polish.

  16. 16

    Dip the tiny tipped object into your nail polish and make tiny ‘seed’ dots on your strawberry.

  17. 17

    Let everything dry and you’re done!
