gold clay earrings

Gold jewelry, round two! I guess when I named this blog We Can Make Anything, I should have included a footnote saying "mostly out of Sculpey because Sculpey is the bomb." I made these earrings in a triangle shape, but any shape works!

You'll need a few things:

• Gold leaf pen

• Glue 

• Polymer clay

• Flat-faced earrings

• X-acto knife

• Oven

Roll out your polymer clay, about 1/8th inch thick. Place your earrings on top of the clay to get an idea of how large your shapes should be. 

Preheat your oven to 275º.

With your x-acto blade, cut your shape out of the clay.

Move your clay pieces to a piece of aluminum foil & bake on a pan for five minutes.

When your shapes are cooled, paint with your gold pen!

Glue your shapes to the flat side of your earrings, & wa-la!

It was so easy, I made some circular ones as well.

P.S. Keep your earrings organized in an Earring Booklet.
