DIY Polymer Clay Terrazzo Earrings Tutorial - How To Add Earring Posts Without Falling NO GLUE

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Hello everyone! I have a new Terrazzo inspired earrings tutorial for you guys! In this tutorial I will also show how I add earring posts without glue. It’s so easy. Skip to 5:55 to check that out. I forgot to mention in the video, I baked my component for about 15mins after covering 😅 Also don't forget to visit my Etsy shop. There are tons of new earrings available there. Thank you so much for your love and support! 🥰

These are SO beautiful. I have just recently started making polymer earings.... I have made a lot to see what my preferred way of attaching the earring studs to the backing.... and now seeing you doing the way you do them it does looks very nice 😊 thanks for all the beautiful work you do yay

[@FernMitchHandmade]

I’m so happy you enjoy this method. I think it’s very clean and easier than covering the whole back 😊

thanks you sharring

[@Pariiaatje]

Thank you so much for teaching and sharing your knowledge. Helps a newbie like me who still experiments with clay. What clay brand did you use?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

You very welcome! I use sculpey Premo and soufflé. 🥰

[@wakeupwithvictoria4816]

After you add the stud and cover it with clay do you bake it or leave it raw?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Yes! I’m so sorry I totally forgot to mention that on the video. I baked them for about 15mins. Thank you for pointing that out! 😊

[@carlyappler9659]

Love this design!! I’m curious how thick you make your earring pieces? I know you use a pasta machine but if you did not, how thick would you say you usually make the pieces?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Thank you 🥰 as I mentioned it the video, I roll my slabs to be about 3mm

[@carlyappler9659]

Fern&Mitch Handmade thank you! Sorry that I did not catch that!

[@KathyWeaver5757]

Thank you!

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Your welcome 🥰

[@adagomez6374]

OMG! I love your work!!! I started working with polymeric clay, I use Premo and soufflé, but after baking my creations they are broken by touching them, any advice you can give me? or something that is possibly doing wrong? I follow the instructions that come in the packaging and still break. Thank you!

[@FernMitchHandmade]

ada gomez thank you so much 🥰 I don’t usually follow the time on the packaging. I bake mine for minimum of 1hr. If you keep it below 275F they shouldn’t burn. Make sure your use a thermometer. Those two brands shouldn’t break simply when touched. Under baking could be your problem 🤔

[@adagomez6374]

@@FernMitchHandmade Thank you so much!! i'll try with your advice! :D

[@shallyme]

Great job. How do you prevent your clay surface from being uneven after baking? Mine seems to have little bubbles. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

[@FernMitchHandmade]

It’s air trapped in between clay when conditioning. Best way to avoid them is baking your pieces in between tiles. If you haven’t seen I display this method on the Gold Marble tutorial. You can also let the slab rest and lay a piece of copy paper and kind of burnish the surface without pressing. This can smoothen the surface. If everything else fail, I’d recommend carefully sanding down the air bubbles with a higher grit sandpaper. I hope this helps. 😊

[@Kulturamade]

You always come up with such beautiful designs 😍😭

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Aw you are so sweet! Thank you so much 🥰

[@racheljones6115]

Love your tutorials, I was curious on this as I use glue, and then another layer of clay and bake again.Do you re-bake after you add your posts and backing clay? X

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Thank you 🥰 yes I bake it for about 30mins after I put the top layer. I’m sorry I totally forgot to mention that on the video.

[@racheljones6115]

Fern&Mitch Handmade great thanks I thought so too :-) I had some trouble baking peach effect fimo and pearl marble each time I put the backs on and baked them again, they changed colour. It happened twice :-( I think the oven was too hot. I liked your tip to use a smaller circle for the back, I tried it this morning :-) xx

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Your very welcome! Yes Premo beige is like that too sometimes. Make sure you have a thermometer. Sometimes ovens fluctuate a lot. It’s annoying! Best of luck with your projects 🥰

[@hanad4510]

hi! just found your youtube and im in love!! what type of clay do you think is the best? i have a problem with my polymer clay earring looking plastic

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Thank you so much for watching. 🥰 I love to use Premo and sculpey soufflé. If you would like them to look nice and matte go with soufflé.

[@ozacessorios5957]

Good Morning. I found your jewelry inspiring, I live in Brazil and I have difficulty finding molds to make my pieces. Do you have any indication how you could make the molds? I really liked this U shape. Thank you

[@FernMitchHandmade]

There are few tutorials here on KZbin on how to make cutters out of a tin can. Also you can just draw/print out a shape and cut it from a cardboard to trace around the shape. I hope this helps and thank you 🥰

[@C.Marie8437]

Beautiful! Can you make faux tortoise shell earrings please.??thank you.

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Absolutely! It’s on my list 🥰

[@kashish3733]

Can you list down the tools for everything used please?

[@nopasanada_]

Is it okay use coffee powder instead of black paint to make the sand effect?😊

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Absolutely! I have see creators use black pepper as well! ☺️

[@elizabethcastillo2420]

How long do you bake for??

[@FernMitchHandmade]

An hour 😊

[@atkiyaraisa5038]

WOWWWW... that needs alot of patience

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Thank you! It is very therapeutic! 🥰
