As far as I am concerned, I feel polymer clay is much like the plasticine we usually used to make models when in childhood. Polymer clay offers such kind of feelings if I returned to my pupil age in the process of implementing “how to make polymer clay jewelry”.

Jewelry making is no longer the craft work or limited to tutorials, it is really being an interesting game; when you get starting to roll and press the soft polymer clay, you would be like a child playing plasticine without any purpose.

You want to have this experience? Okay first to prepare the jewelry making supplies:

Polymer clay in purple color and brown color (to make a cupcake-looking drop for the earrings)

Knife, earring hook, eye pin (which should be processed to be short enough), plier

Then how to make polymer clay jewelry?

How to make polymer clay jewelry Step 1: make the base of drop

First, to fetch some brown colored polymer clay and roll it with your fingers gently, forming it into cylinder shaped. Notice the thickness of cylinder; if you want to make it thinner, you need roll it more times; however I suggest it is at best as thick as a finger.

Second, to cut the cylinder to proper length with knife and the cutting edge must be vertical against the horizontal table.

Third, to do some modification to make the half cylinder more like a cup. And then freeze it for few minutes. After that, to use the eye pin to sculpture some patterns on the surfaces of “cup”

How to make polymer clay jewelry Step 2: finish the drop

First, to fetch a lump of purple polymer clay and roll it into tube shape

Second, press one end of the tube into cup top and rotate the rest tube round by round to make “ice-cream” shape.

Third, cut off the excess with knife and insert the prepared eyepin into top of the cake, leaving the eye outside.

How to make polymer clay jewelry Step 3: complete the earrings

First, place the cake into oven and bake it to be hard enough.

Second, position the eyepin firmly by adding some glue into the hole where it is

Third, install the earring hook to eyepin, one earring is done; repeat the previous steps to make the other.

Now the project about how to make polymer clay jewelry is over, and the cupcake earrings are finished by yourself. The project is useful, because the cupcake can be used as pendant in jewelry making, which means it can become part of necklace, or bracelet as well.
