Here is a tutorial or polymer clay with pearl effect is honored. You can find in each brand of polymer clay a pearlescent or metallic paste of white color, there are of course in these ranges all colors. For the holidays it is the ideal tutorial to please yourself or to please others or to sell on the markets. It is very easy to realize four steps are enough to obtain a pretty result in very little time, there is no difficulty technique even a person who has never touched polymer clay can succeed in making these beautiful pearly earrings. If you don't have any modeling tools, everything that is used can be replaced and adapted with everyday objects. For example the modelling mat you see in the picture can be replaced by a simple squared sheet, the blades by a knife, the cookie cutters by plastic bottle caps
Take half of the pearly dough loaf, run it through the dough machine at a fairly thick notch, number 5 on the Imperia. Place your plate on the squared mat, start by marking the dough with the rigid blade which is also the thickest following the lines of the mat, then continue to make stripes moving the blade one millimeter each time.
Make two rounds with the 3 cm cutter, reserve the rest of the dough.
Pierce your rounds with a needle, then run your fingers underneath to create reliefs on your round.
With what you have left of the dough you can make another pair of earrings. For this model take the same cookie cutter of 3 cm then add a second of 12 mm for the ear studs. Place your cookie cutters on the stripes placed horizontally, pierce and then fold the circles. Bake your pieces for 30 minutes at 120 degrees.
For more professionalism, you can sand the edges of your pieces to soften them with 1000 grit sandpaper. For the first model you just have to thread a ring in each hole and pass them in the flower ear studs. For the second one you have to glue the smallest rings on the disc ear studs and for that I advise you to use ceralun paste which is a bi-component resin, it's on this product is more expensive than a glue but tell you that you can use it during years. There is so much pressure when you pull on the plunger that if you use a glue between the metal and the polymer that one day it will come off. Don't forget to show us your inspired creations.
