POLYMER CLAY EARRINGS TUTORIAL | QUARTZ POLYMER CLAY TECHNIQUE | HOW TO MAKE CLAY EARRINGS

[@padrerich1]

Rather than opening the J ring by pulling them wide open as you did try try bypassing the ends sideways. You will get less distortion of the J ring.

[@sacredsiren]

Came to make the same comment

[@aprilstewart5929]

Yeah, opening the jump ring the way she does is sure to make the ring weaker. She has excellent taste, though.

[@maiaallman4635]

Yes please, I would like to see how you do the UV resin.

[@RaisingNobles]

absolutely

[@deycyvdesign]

Definitely one of the better videos I’ve watched on clay earrings.

[@starverweij2346]

See those blue pliers you have, you can tighten your drill with them. Also the bras can be covered with either with clear nail varnish or that clear liquid sculpey that you seem to not want to use 🤔

[@domimassou5457]

Absolutely gorgeous work 👏

Loved this Kelci, thanks. Question, I checked out your etsy shop and love the white flower clay earrings, where did you get the cutter from? I so have been looking for that particular flower cutter. Thanks :)

[@lisalou2789]

what store did you buy the diamante charms from they are so adorable!

[@CinnabunLove]

Please tell us where u get your earrings charms from ? And some resin tips and videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing job...i just want to ask where can i find the long shape cutter please?

[@RaisingNobles]

thank you! i'm not sure, let me ask Kelci

[@thatclaychick5758]

EarBlooms Co. has so many sharp clay cutters 😍

[@carmenwills1077]

I think you did well and thank you

[@katherinequesada7382]

Why not poke holes before hardening or baking

[@RaisingNobles]

you can

[@marianna3253]

I always do it before. The clay doesn't deform or shrunk in the oven so it's easier to make the hôtes before baking, no need to drill holes, you can just use a poker

[@tammytoth5874]

So BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤

[@jude1515]

Great tutorial and those earrings look perfect.

[@RaisingNobles]

Yes she did an amazing job!!

[@amazonnia]

[@RaisingNobles]

thank you! Kelci did such a great job! We are working on the resin tutorial ;-)

[@rosiewest637]

Hello, the video is great and easy to understand. Is the base regular white clay or translucent clay?

[@kelcilewis]

The base was white clay!

[@breannawarner8589]

Where do you find the beautiful accessories?

[@RaisingNobles]

a lot of them are linked in the description box

[@adrianaperalta4793]

One question: when you put the resin on, do you cover the borders too?

[@RaisingNobles]

just right up to the edges

[@adrianaperalta4793]

@@RaisingNobles Thank you!

[@dianeduschene5682]

Just wondering, do you resin the side & the back of the earrings? TIA

[@flowerpower7389]

Your resin finish looks absolutely perfect I wish I could get mine like that. It just doesn't set properly and end up dusty. Anyway looking forward to the video. This one was great.

[@RaisingNobles]

Thank you! Kelci did a great job! She’s going to be sharing her resin technique so stay tuned!

[@marusnak1113]

@@RaisingNobles I'm having a similar problem - I've wondered if it's the humidity here in NorthTX, or just my lack of skill, so I look forward to Kelci's tutorial.

[@TheAmandaGray]

I am going to try this today 😍😍😍

[@RaisingNobles]

hooray! i hope it turned out great

[@tinamerrow7319]

Beautiful and exactly the video I was looking for. The only question I have is.... I didn't see you conditioning the clay before chopping and freezing etc. Do you not need to do that because you chopped n mixed n chopped some more?? Thank you. Love this technique ❤️

[@RaisingNobles]

The clay does need to be conditioned first, always

[@marusnak1113]

Hey, it's good to see that even the experts have to start over on occasion. This one was pretty fun, too, though I loved the skulls and roses. Thanks, again. And, yes on the resin.

[@RaisingNobles]

You’re welcome! Resin is coming soon 👏🏼👏🏼

[@bubu636]

Hi! Great video! Did you use a transparent Liquid Sculpey or White Liquid Sculpey?

[@RaisingNobles]

i'm not sure, i'll ask her!

[@SusanNagy]

Just my opinion here but you are basically ruining the jump rings by opening them the way that's shown here. You're supposed to open them by grasping one end flat toward you and "swinging" the other end away from you. The reasoning is two-fold: one is because you can then easily preserve the integrity of your jump ring and get a tight fitting close on your jump ring without having to squeeze the opposite ends forward to face each other again which rarely gets a good close fit. Secondly, the metal is bending and unbending which can lead to it being bent out of shape which then no longer works and must be discarded or it will cause breakage as the metal "work hardens."

[@RaisingNobles]

thanks for the tips!

[@erinwood4968]

I’m glad you mentioned this because I was going to do the same. I just wanted to add that pulling the jump ring apart actually compromises the integrity of the metal and therefore it weakens it and can break. The earrings came out very pretty 😊

[@hellotrude]

Absolutely correct. 👌

[@coelone]

Thanks for this! I tot I was wrong all my life until you corrected this. 🥰

[@evec6803]

Do you have an example of how to open the rings this way? Thank you!

[@InspireArt]

Hello, I really enjoy your videos... the jewelry that you make is absolutely beautiful! I have a question, would you recommend Fimo Soft for jewelry making? Thank you in advance and keep up with the great work!

[@RaisingNobles]

thanks for watching! we don't recommend fimo clays - sculpey premo or sculpey souffle are the best

[@kristinakilby6798]

If you had a professional nail file. You can control the speed of the Dremel type sander. Plus you can reverse the sanding process. Just an fyi may help any newbies. I'm new to clay art. I have both. Also I have a vacuum that nail techs work over help control some of the dust. My nails bit the dust when I hit menopause. So it has new life in my craft room.

[@simplyjudith]

Great video. 👍🏼Does anyone know of any good alternatives for resin?

[@Theartsygirl76]

What setting do you use on the clay conditioner/pasta machine? I’m struggling with getting the right height for them. Awesome video!!!

[@RaisingNobles]

The thickest setting on my machine

[@jens_cymru]

Hi. Loved this. Would acrylic paint work for this?

[@kelcilewis]

Yes! But not all paints are compatible with certain brands of polymer clay. It’s a trial and error thing. If they’re not compatible then the paint will never really dry and it’ll stay sticky and be a mess. I use folk art and apple barrel brands but have also heard recommendations for liquidtex heavy body paint!

[@lanibresler3758]

Just curious why you don’t poke the holes for your rings prior to the baking. You cut out your centers ok, so why not set your ring holes too?

[@gailresources8120]

Very nice!!!!

[@RaisingNobles]

👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks for watching!

[@blazin_kitty]

Thank you so much for this. I’m new to this as well so it was wonderful to learn the techniques. Beautiful earrings kelci!💜

[@RaisingNobles]

thank you!

[@katiescotton]

Thank you so much for your video of step by step! One thing I heard was baking it at 275 for 40 mins. Is there a reason to bake for 40 mins? I ask because I typically bake mine for 15 mins. Second question, do you typically drill your hole after baking or before?

[@kelcilewis]

Baking time depends on the thickness of your clay. Mine are on the thicker side so I just do 40 minutes to make sure they’re completely cured! As long as your oven is set to the right temp and it doesn’t spike, you won’t burn them no matter how long you keep them in there for. I hope that makes sense! If 15 minutes works for you and they’re durable and flexible then that’s fine! I also drill my hole after I bake them.

[@julieashton8877]

Super awesome! Thank you so much!!

[@janinemorales3194]

Do you have to wait to put resin than drill or can you make a hole way before

[@kelcilewis]

You can make a hole before adding resin but the resin will likely fill the hole and you will have to redrill it.

New to crafting polymer jewelry. Why not make the holes before baking?

[@RaisingNobles]

You can! But it can distort the shape of the earring. But you can do it if you are careful
