Behind The Scenes: How I Make My Marbled Terrazzo Polymer Clay Earrings For Of Clay Jewelry (2020)

[@Haydenmonroewood]

Ugh! You’re beautiful, first of all. I’ve always thought the best compliment a woman can get is to be called elegant. I’d say that suits you nicely. Very classic in your style. I’ve never ever heard you self promote and love how you say “you” can do this/that, instead of “I” and “me me me” Secondly, I found your channel because I am starting my own clay earring business and calling it “oh clay!” My daughter used to try to do the whole Cardi B “okurrrr” thing when she was 5 and would end up saying “oh clate” haha so when I was searching online for logos and such, I came across your business. I’m so glad I did. They say if you want to be good at something, go to someone who’s done it before and has done it well. So, here I am, following every tip and piece of advice! So, thank you so so much. You’ve helped me and inspired me to pursue this. Good luck. You deserve it

[@84Mimas]

Thank you for all you helpful videos. Could you please share how to make the leopard print earrings ☺️

[@caitlinwatkins3487]

I just want to say I love your videos! Your tips and tricks are so helpful and you are so sweet! My cousin and I have recently started a polymer clay earring shop and your videos are a HUGE help and inspiration! 😊

[@quriosadesign]

At first that slab looked similar to a slab of bacon, so cool 🥓

[@squirrelking9908]

Thank you for sharing this! I always wondered how to make a nice terazzo!

[@theslowhaus]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching!

[@beanturd288]

I just started making my own clay earrings a couples weeks ago and I really love it. Your videos are so helpful. Please keep them coming! I'm curious as to where you get your hardware and what types you use. Also, do you always mix the clay yourself to make the colors or do you purchase them?

[@theslowhaus]

Exciting! And thank you for the kind words. I'm excited to have this platform to share what I've learned and help others. All of my hardware comes from various Etsy sellers. I will be doing a video on hardware shopping soon! And I do always hand mix my colors so that they are unique and exclusive to my brand, but that is just my preference. There is absolutely nothing wrong with picking out some great colors at the store and using those to create your jewelry!

[@a.a9411]

Thank you !!!! love the tips girly

[@theslowhaus]

Thank you!

[@lilyborgenheimer7487]

These are the BEST tutorials! I can’t wait for more. How do you get the clay out of the cutters? When mine get stuck in there I have to use tools or my fingers to get them out and they ruin my piece sometimes. What’s your best advice? Thanks!!!

[@theslowhaus]

AWW Thank you!!! I'm new to making and editing videos, so I really appreciate that! I think I might have to do a video on this topic to completely answer your question. There are lots of ways you can do it. Using your fingers is common and something I definitely do. A couple Ideas for you to try: using a firmer clay if it gets stuck often (try sculpey souffle) and also try dipping your cutter in cornstarch so that it will be less sticky. It's hard to explain all of the options on here, but I will try and get a video up soon on this topic!

[@leannporter-parsley1523]

Great video! New subscriber!🙋🏻‍♀️ Thanks for sharing!

[@kristinamathews3649]

I would love to learn this technique in a video!!

[@rheamendoza7657]

[@breedmz_08]

Your videos are so helpful!!!

[@theslowhaus]

Thank you!❤️❤️

[@Timc227]

Do you apply any kind of sealant or varnish to your earrings?

[@hannahhill2579]

Hi love your videos, what board do you use to make the earrings on? my wax paper just isn't doing it for me

[@starrspoter]

how do u get that look?i tried with black and white and got black mainly

[@siris6634]

Yesss please more vidsss❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Heymandini]

Do you recommend using a polymer clay glue to glue each piece together? Can it break apart during baking?

[@nikitasingh10997]

U just air dried them? Ive seen a few ppl baking it in the oven? What do we need to do to sustain them in a long run?

[@jessicaramos643]

Beautiful work, like always!,,What Etsy shop do you purchase your hardware from. Also, where did you get the earring holders printed with your logo.

[@cryptobionika]

I Love it!!!

[@hannahc4641]

what do you do with scrap clay, like the leftovers from the marble/terrazo circles?

[@taylorweldon9462]

Love this video! Quick question, what size jump rings did you use?

[@theslowhaus]

Thank you! I really varies. Depending on the design I will you different sizes. I recommend getting and assortment of size and getting creative with it!

[@denisecruz6370]

Where do you get your earring cards and boxes from?

[@dorothysantos7147]

can u do a tutorial on how to make an earring card?

[@fionatan8831]

Thanks for the video! Need some help here.I'm wondering if my clay is stuck on my work space what should I do? Is it my clay is too soft or? Any idea? I can cut the shape i want but my pieces will just be stuck to my work space and removing it will destroy the pieces :(

[@jewelskeaton]

Love your style! How long do you wait between coming out of the oven and sanding?

[@karlpeterson7580]

Love it !! :) I have a questions : where should I found earring cardboards ? Is there any business doing that? Your videos are nice :)

[@genesisrose6778]

How do u poke the earring ring hole big enough? I'm not sure if my jump ring is too small or the opening is too small but I can't put the earring wire thru

[@Peepsyx3]

which clay is this?

[@PS-mb2bm]

What size of jumprings do you use? Thanks!

[@Xeyxey0]

How do you keep the snakes from coming apart? I made some with a similar snake size as the one you used, as well as a bunch of tiny ones, and a few popped apart pretty easily. I used Premo without any softener or liquid clay or anything... It's hard trying to mush the snakes together without leaving fingerprints or denting it, not sure if I just need to spend more time squishing it together?

[@Xeyxey0]

I found it in the Q&A video! I have to use liquid clay since it's too warm to just press it without smashing the pieces.

[@hotpink1883]

What size jump rings do you use?

[@brittanyh9593]

What sized jumó rings do you use? I’m having trouble with making the “correct-sized” holes for inserting the jump rings in different styles I make. Also, do you work with resin/acetate pieces?

[@Haydenmonroewood]

I’d love this know this, as well!

[@glendaong2886]

Hello! I am wondering where to get earring materials that are sterling silver 925 as I want to make clay earrings for my sensitive ears .

[@BarbaraPalenzuelaa]

Thank you for these videos! you are really cute!

[@brendaaluu]

Thank you,,

[@sonyaceleste3957]

Hello so I plan on making a pair of polymer clay earrings for my best friend but was wondering if these are good for sensitive ears

[@theslowhaus]

It is a GREAT gift for someone with sensitive ears! Polymer clay is super lightweight so it's very easy on the ears. Even big statement earrings made out of polymer clay feel feather-light when worn. Just make sure you know what her sensitivities are to metals. Using earring hardware that is lead and nickel free are a safe bet. Brass and silver can cause irritation. Surgical steel and gold are also a very safe option.

[@kamilamartinez3918]

Where can I buy the extruder??

[@dulcelopez1516]

Hello beautiful! Thank you for sharing your content with us. I had a question, how do you get your shapes (that you cut with the cookie cutter shapes) to be so round and even? I struggle a lot with getting them off the cookie cutter shapes. I have to push them off with something which ends up ruining the jewelry. Please help! 💜

[@theslowhaus]

Great question! There are several techniques you can use which I will certainly do a video on soon, but normal I just blow them out of their cutter! 😂 it’s a little strange, but works very well.

[@cheeseandsprinkles]

Great video! Where do you purchase your jewelry boxes from?

[@theslowhaus]

Thank you! My jewelry boxes are from amazon.

[@FabulouslyJih]

Hey Lisa, what is the board that you’re working on?

[@FabulouslyJih]

Do you have a detailed video on how to put the fish hooks in?

[@susanabenitez8782]

love your video!! where did you purchase the terracotta clay?

[@theslowhaus]

Thank you so much! I purchase my clay from my local craft store and online retailers, but all of my colors are hand mixed.

[@natalysolis853]

What hardware do you recommend or where do you get yours?

[@theslowhaus]

I purchase all of my hardware from Etsy sellers! I recommend shopping around and see what fits your style best! What's exciting is every detail is your own personal creative decision. There are so many styles of hooks, posts, metals---I say have fun with it!
