Like other polymer pastes (Cernit, Sculpey, etc.), Fimo clay is the star of the creative leisure world. Affordable, colorful and infinitely adaptable, it lets you create unique jewelry pieces that reflect your style. From simple color block rounds to textured creations with transfer sheets, discover 8 free tutorials to make your own polymer clay earrings.
The project: geometric dangling earrings in a pink color block spirit. Perfect for learning to create shades by mixing white paste with your base color.
Never tried polymer clay before? This special beginner's tutorial is for you. With a minimum of equipment and in just 1 hour, you'll master all the basics: kneading the dough, rolling it out with a roller, cutting out shapes with cookie cutters and baking your creations.
Pro tip: use guides (like skewers) on each side of your dough to obtain an even thickness with the roller, without investing in a pasta machine.
Transfer sheets are the magic solution for creating sophisticated designs without drawing skills. This tutorial with transfer sheets teaches you the technique in just 30 minutes.
The technique: place the sheet on your white paste, roll it out, leave for 10-15 minutes, then dissolve the paper under water. The motif is permanently transferred.
Good to know:

A nod to the '50s with these polka-dot heart earrings. The polka-dot motif is easy to create by following our video tutorial! You can then apply the technique to any pattern you like for everyday wear.
Create surprising effects with these wire-textured earrings. By pressing real wires or strings into the paste before firing, you create a unique textile relief that's easy to make!
Terrazzo is always on trend in decorating and jewelry! These copper, khaki and white curls are perfect for this type of motif!
How to create the terrazzo effect: partially mix several colors of paste, leaving separate pieces, then spread. The result imitates Venetian terrazzo floors.
Basic materials required:
Baking temperature: scrupulously follow the manufacturer's instructions (generally 110-130°C for 30 minutes). Too high a temperature burns the dough, too low a temperature leaves it brittle.
Sanding for a clean finish: after baking and cooling, sand your creations in water with progressively grained sanding sheets (400, 600, 800, 1000). The result is a smooth, professional surface.
Varnishing: optional, but recommended to protect and enhance your creations. Use a special polymer varnish (matte, satin or gloss, depending on the desired effect).
Fimo clay is perfect for indulging yourself! It opens up an infinite creative universe. Every technique you master becomes a new playground for your ideas. So, which pair are you going to start with?
Fimo Soft is ideal for beginners as it is easy to knead.
Most polymer doughs cook at 110-130°C for 30 minutes. Always check the instructions on your paste packet. Firing too short makes jewelry fragile, firing too long burns it (especially light colors). You'll find everything you need in our technical data sheet.
It's best to remove them. Water won't harm the polymer clay itself, but it can dull the gold or silver finish of the primers (studs, rings). Your jewelry will last longer if you remove it for the shower.
Drill after firing and once the piece has cooled, using a hand chuck. Turn gently, exerting slight pressure. Drilling before firing may deform the holes and weaken the piece.
Several years if stored in a cool, dry place, away from light, in its original packaging or in cling film. If it hardens, knead it for a long time or add a few drops of Fimo Mix Quick.
