Polymer clay interchangeable link earrings

Take the same amount of granite colored dough and white dough, make a homogeneous mixture of the two colors by passing them a large number of times in the dough machine by folding the plate on itself at each passage. The last pass is made at the notch number 5 of the Imperia.

Use the 38 mm oval cookie cutter to cut two pieces from the plate.

Center the second 24 mm cookie cutter to remove the inside on your pieces.

Take a small piece of brown paste and mix it with the rest of the granite paste until you get a homogeneous color.

Squeeze the new color into your hand, insert it into the extruder in the form of a cylinder, place the tip with the 6 mm hole, close the extruder by screwing the end and then turn the crank until there is no more paste.

Cut two lengths of about 7 cm, wrap one around a 15 mm round cookie cutter, join the two ends and gently slide the dough off the cutter, repeat with the second length.

From this white base you can mix new colors to obtain different shades of granite.

Here is an example with emerald green Fimo clay.

After baking all your pieces at 120 degrees for 30 minutes, lightly sand to avoid sharp edges. Glue your ear studs to the back of the pieces; wait until it is completely dry before threading a ring into each oval. Once the pieces have cooled down, press lightly on the connection of the rings so that they spread out, which allows you to thread them on fairly thin pieces. You can even place several rings in the ovals with different colors, which is very pretty.
