Step 1

Prepare two plates of polymer clay using the thickest notch machine for the white color and gradually the finest notch for the navy blue paste.

2nd step

Put the blue plate on the white, pass the roller to expel the air then fold your plate over itself with the white paste inside.

Stage 3

Pass the assembly through the largest notch dough machine, putting the fold first.

Step 4

Put the textured plate on the blue dough then pass the roller strongly over the whole.

Step 5

Take a thin blade, one that can easily bend to scale the textured dough on the surface. Try to follow the direction of the patterns, proceed little by little.

Step 6

Put a sheet of parchment paper on the dough sheet then with a card made of small rotation to smooth the whole surface. Reserve this work.

Step 7

Prepare another navy blue plate, then cut a piece of jeans from used clothing. Put this dark side fabric against the polymer clay then pass the assembly to the thick notch of the MAP.

Step 8

Apply white acrylic paint mixed with a little water on the textured plate, immediately pass a wet wipe to remove excess paint.

Texture the plate you reserved with the same piece of jeans.

Step 10

Cut with your blade a border on each of the plates then put them side by side. Position your oval cookie cutter in the middle of the two plates, take two ovals to make your earrings.

Step 11

Take another cookie cutter but smaller to take half of the oval from the jeans part, keep these two new shapes. Bake 120 degrees of all shapes for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Take a 600 grit abrasive to sand the edges of your parts and round off the corners. Use a hand mandrel or a drill to make 3 holes in the larger oval pieces and then two more on the jeans part opposite those drilled in the ovals. The smallest pieces are not drilled.

Step 13

Proceed with the assembly with 5 mm rings then glue the small ovals on the ear studs.
