Step 1

Stir liquid clay completely and thin it with liquid clay softener as needed.
TIP: Wash your hands after use with soap and water or baby wipes.

Step 2

Fill the two smaller teardrop shapes (just a little less than full) with Gold liquid clay.

Step 3

Stir glitter into the clear liquid clay until it is well mixed. Fill the hoop shape in the mould with glittery clear liquid clay.

Step 4

Bake for 30 minutes at 300 ºF (149 ºC). Let Cool.
TIP: When baking, it is important to use oven thermometer so that you can ensure your oven is at the correct temperature. Do not microwave the liquids. They must be baked in a Preheated oven at 275 ºF (130 ºC). Do not exceed baking temperatures. If your piece is less than ¼" [0.64 cm] bake for 15 minutes or 30 minutes for a thicker pieces. If your liquid project has become yellow or discoloured in the oven, remake it and either fold an index card in half with your project placed under it or place an aluminum foil over your project when baking.

Step 5

Remove only the hoop shape from the mould. Leave the teardrops in the mould.

Step 6

Place a small dot of super glue in the centre of the Gold teardrops toward the end opposite the hole. Place the post findings on the glue and allow to dry.

Step 7

Remove the teardrop shapes from the mould and add a thin layer of Gold liquid clay over the top of the teardrop shapes. Gently replace in the mould. Bake at 300 ºF (149 ºC) for 30 minutes following the baking tips above. Let cool before removing the tear drops from the mould.

Step 8

Use the pliers to attach the teardrops to the hoops with jump rings.
