Step 1

Slice a piece of clay from the Jade Green, white and Silver clay blocks.
TIP: The ratio should be about 2:2:1.

Step 2

Knead, condition and blend until mouldable.
TIP: Add white or Silver clay as needed to get the shade of green you like for your earrings.

Step 3

Use an acrylic roller (or a clay machine) to roll the clay out until it is an even sheet and a little less than ¼" [0.6 cm] thick.

Step 4

Spray your texture sheet with mould release, then push it into the clay and lift so the design is debossed into the clay.

Step 5

Cut two shapes with a semi-circle cutter.

Step 6

Use a small stylus tool to create a hole in the top of each semi-circle shape.

Step 7

Bake your shapes for 30 minutes at 230°F (110°C). Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Step 8

Attach each shape to a white circle shape from the earring kit with the attached jump ring.
TIP: To open and close a jump ring, simply grasp the jump ring on both sides with chain nose pliers and twist the ring open, from side-to-side. Never pull the jump ring which can cause distortion.
