Abstarct Earring Tutorial

TUTORIAL

WARNING:
Make shure you :
DO:
  • make shure oven is on
  • right temp
  • Clean oven (this is for people using their normal oven, chemicles!!!!!!)
DON'T:
  • Use tools for anything other that crafting and clay
  • Use toaster oven for food if you are not going to clean it (chemicles!!!!!)
  • Eat while playing with clay
  • Use reusable clay or clay that says "never dries out" 
Materials:
  • IMAGINATION
  • At least 2 different colors of baking clay
  • Pasta machine or roller
  • Cookie cutter or you can use a craft knife
  •  baking oven
  • Gloss
  • Pins w/ loops
  • Earring backs



Molding:

1). Pick base color. I am using white but if you are going to do steampunk I suggest translucent of a shimmery or pearlecent color 

2). Roll amount wanted in a pasta machine. Put pasta machine on thickest size (mine is 7) 

3). Pick a shape. I used my teardrop clay cutter that I got at Micheals. Cut several shapes, I suggest 3 for each earring.

4). Smooth all together, without loosing shape!!!!! 


5). Use different colors and add decorations




6). After finishing all desired decorations, add holes, and bake!
 

Baking:


7). Place in toaster oven. Set toaster oven at 275 degrees.
Bake for 10-15 min. Take out. Let sit!

Wires & Glazing:
8).Wrap wires in holes



9). Choose what kind of earring you want it to be and put it on them 
10). Glaze in whatever stuff you have, I suggest stuff that you don't have to bake on
11). Hang on anything with a desposable surface close below and wait for 1 hour 


11). Wear and enjoy!!!!
