Here's a wonderful tutorial by Madeline Nupp on creating
lovely earrings using Polymer Clay and Silver wire!
Supplies:
- Original Sculpey (used because it is lighter in weight)
- 1/4 block maroon Premo
- round nose pliers
- wire cutters
- silver tone wire
- a blade for cutting
- some pens or other items with decorative points
- small notepad (for working on)
- acryllic paint silver and black
- small black seed beads
- 8 silver eye pins (or you can make them yourself)
- 2 silver ear wires
- Future floor polish or other glazing medium
| Step 1: Take 2 small balls of Sculpey and flatten them onto paper. |  |
| Step 2: Using the round nose pliers, bend two small pieces of silver wire as shown. |   (size in respect to clay discs) |
| Step 3: Bend the ends of the wire in the opposite direction of the loops. |  |
| Step 4: Coil the top pieces down towards the lower loops. Don't worry about these coils being perfect, they will be hidden by the clay. |  |
| Step 5: Press the wire pieces into the bottom of the clay discs. Be sure to leave the four wire loops free of clay. |  |
| Step 6: Again using the round nose pliers, bend two small pieces of wire into an "S" configuration. |  |
| Step 7: Press these "S" loops into the top of the clay. Be sure to leave the top loop free of clay. The bottom one will be covered. |  |
| Step 8: Roll a thin coil of Sculpey and border the clay discs, starting where the lower wire piece begins and ending where the lower wire piece ends. |  |
