Polymer clay imitation terrazzo chips earrings

How to create a terrazzo effect using polymer clay?

Do you know the terrazzo? It is a building material made from fragments of natural stones and marble. Make it easy thanks to this tutorial of pretty little earrings with an imitation of this material. Several primers are well suited to the mounting of ear chips , they are mostly cabochons, you have the choice between several finishes. The terrazzo trend does not stop to seduce us as much in decoration as in jewelery, the effects differ according to the colors used then have fun!
Step 1
Take 2 bars of black paste and for the colors one of each. The rose was made with a mixture of white paste and a hint of red. Make several plates by passing your pasta in the dough machine . For the black, pass it to the number 4 of Imperia the others will be thinner at the number 2.

2nd step
Tear off small pieces of pasta and place them on the black plate.

Step 3
Place a sheet of baking paper over your dough and then roll the roll with small round motions to push in all the pasta tips and make the surface smooth with everything at the same level.

Step 4
Once your plate is made you can have fun to invert the pasta colors while keeping a wider base paste than the others.

Step 5
Put on your terrazzo plate food film paper. Take your cabochon holders upside down on the plate and press to mark the outline. Some circles will come off all alone while for others you will cut with your cutter their outline.

Step 6
Place all your rounds in their primers by pressing the outlines. The dough will be at the same level as the metal, if you want a cabochon then curved it takes a thickness of dough sole (here black) thicker. Cook with the dough in its holder at 120 degrees for 30 minutes. Some earrings need to be glued together like those with ear hooks for others they have a slightly concave ledge that blocks the dough.

You can have fun making other earrings or a ring with all the remaining dough.
