In this tutorial to create earrings you will see how to use a silkscreen to get a nice gingham check pattern. The fall winter 2021 clothing trend reveals a lot of checkered fabrics of all kinds and for a designer to create jewelry to match the clothes is always a game and a challenge. The first part of the tutorial is very easily done by a beginner, it gets a little more complicated in the assembly with the creation of a polymer primer that will serve as ear studs. A technical trick that allows you to enclose between two layers of pasta plates a metal ear stud disk, we see only the stem that protrudes. If you are a beginner and this assembly seems too complicated for you, you can directly pierce the rounds with the checkered pattern using a hand chuck and then hang them with ear hooks for example. You will find on the site Perles and co other tutorial or are used silkscreen with other assemblies: Earrings silkscreen black and white and half-round red or the earrings with silkscreen foliage to four screens.
Prepare a sheet of white dough with half a loaf of bread that is passed to the notch below the widest (on the Imperia). Place your silkscreen on it and roll it out to expel air and ensure a good adhesion.
Use a credit card to spread the black paint on the stencil. The paint is put directly on the length of the card. Immediately clean your stencil and the card and let the paint dry on the paste.
Take a 2.5 mm cookie cutter to cut out two rounds.
Take a second, smaller 12 mm round cookie cutter to remove the centre.
Take the cognac colour, put it in the dough machine at the same notch as the previous one. Use the modelling mat with these graduations to cut two rectangles of 2 cm by 1 cm. Bake these four pieces at 120 degrees for 30 minutes.
Wait five minutes for the pieces to cool before continuing. You can sand the backs of the rounds so that they are soft and clean. Make a polymer cement from a few drops of liquid fimo and a small ball of cognac paste. Crush everything together with a wooden stick until you get a chewgum paste. Place this dough on the top of the circles and then place your rectangles on top. Bake at 120 degrees in the oven for only 10 minutes.
Cut two new rectangles from the coloured plate, each 1 cm wide, no matter how long. Cut the bottom of the new rectangles with the same cookie cutter you used to cut the circles. Put this curved part on the back of the loops and then cut what protrudes from the first rectangles. Pierce the center of the rectangle that has become almost a square with the ear stud.
Now remove this square, put the ear stud through the hole, put just a dab of chewgum paste between the stud and the square, then a little more on the back of the rectangles. Place the squares with the ear studs on top of the rectangles. You need to press the edges to slide the dough and cover the dough joints by smoothing either with your fingers or a silicone tool. Do a third and final baking at 120 ° 30 minutes.
