Marbled jewellery clay earrings
#v16838
Make two pairs of earrings out of jewellery clay with a marbling effect. Because jewellery clay is soft and flexible, you can easily create a beautiful marbling effect that will give your earrings a unique look. Bake the clay shapes in the oven to harden the clay and make it more durable, and then attach the shapes to the studs and hooks.

How to do it
1 Take 1/4 of the white and purple jewellery clay and knead each piece for 4 minutes. Four minutes may sound like a long time, but this is important to avoid air bubbles when baking the clay.
2 Now make small balls out of the kneaded clay, making a few more out of the white clay than the purple.
3 Knead all the balls together to create a marbled effect. Once the desired effect is achieved, roll the jewellery clay into a ball.
4 Flatten the ball with your finger.
5 Now use the roller to roll out the jewellery clay to a thickness of about 1.5 mm.
6 Use the cutter moulds to cut out the organic shapes. You can make the entire earring with a marbled effect or make one part completely purple, as shown in the picture – or even a completely different look. You will need four of the small shapes and two of the large ones for the two sets of earrings.
7 Now punch a hole in the jewellery clay with the stud where the shapes are to be attached. Make the hole approximately 1.5 mm from the edge.
8 Preheat the oven at 110 degrees for 10 minutes. Place the jewellery clay in the oven after the 10 minutes and bake for 18 minutes.
9 Twist open a round jump ring.
10 Slide the ends of the jump ring through the two pieces of the baked jewellery clay.
11 Close the round jump ring using flat-nose pliers.
12 Insert the round jump ring through the top hole of each earring in the pair and attach the ear stud.
13 Close the round jump ring using flat-nose pliers. The earrings are now finished and ready to be worn.
14 Insert the round jump ring and ear hook into the small clay shapes and close using flat-nose pliers to create another set of earrings.
