Polymer clay imitation ceramic earrings

Step 1
Make a plate at the middle notch of your dough machine, you can use leftovers of pasta to recycle because the color is not important.
Apply your texture plate to the polymer and press firmly evenly.
Everything must have the same height of texture, if places are not marked enough, do not hesitate to repeat this step.
Cook the polymer plate at 130 degrees for 30 minutes, flat.

2nd step
Prepare a medium blue dough plate, texture it with the plate negative you just made.
Use talc on the texture so that the polymer does not stick to the hollows.

Step 3
Cut out with your blade 2 identical rectangles by choosing the same pattern on the plate. With a small cookie cutter, take 2 rounds of 10 mm.

Step 4
Cover your pieces with white liquid polymer. Take a needle or toothpick to pierce any small bubbles.

Step 5
Remove the excess white liquid from the surface with the fingertips or with a damp cloth to avoid too much sanding.

Step 6
Cook the pieces at 130 degrees for 20 minutes. Meanwhile prepare 2 more identical rectangles in the rest of the textured blue plate.

Place your uncooked rectangles on the back of the cooked pieces, cut with the blade what exceeds and then repeat steps 4 and 5 before making a second cooking at 130 degrees over 20 minutes.

Step 7
Put your pieces in soapy water and sand with 600 grit the surface of your two-sided pieces until the blue patterns are clean, without white. Sand the edges and break the corners with a finer sandpaper like the 800.

Step 8
This step will be used to put everything on the same level on your parts. Spread transparent polymer on the surface, with a toothpick spread the liquid to the edges.

Bake at 150 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes until the opacity disappears completely. The polymer parts will not be damaged because they are protected by the liquid and the cooking time is not too long.

Place your pieces in the water to cool them and then repeat this last step on the back of the rectangular pieces and cooking.

Step 9
Cool and dry your pieces before varnishing them in 2 layers. A first very light then 10 minutes after a last thicker.

Step 10
Pierce your rectangles on the top edge and the bottom right in the middle. Cut 4 round head nails by keeping only about 5 mm and push them into each hole by coating them with glue.

Thread a 7 mm ring into each pompom and hang them at the bottom nails. Stick your circles on the ear studs without clogging the ring that protrudes.

Place a 4mm ring between the loop holder and your pieces. Close your rings well.
