The best part is that they’re actually quite easy to make at home, and they’ll look just as good as the store-bought ones. Here’s how to do it.

Supplies:

  • Polymer clay
  • Earring backs
  • Jump rings
  • Rolling pin or drinking glass
  • Pliers
  • Oven and baking sheet
  • A needle or paper clip
  • Circle cutters or round objects

Instructions

  • Once you have everything you need, making the earrings is actually quite simple.
  • Just roll out your clay into a flat sheet and use a knife or a circle cutting tool like a cookie cutter or a bottle lid to cut your desired shapes from the clay.
  • Once you’re happy with your design, use a needle or paper clip to poke a small hole where you want your earring back to go.
  • Bake the clay following the instructions on the packaging.
  • Use a jump ring and pliers to attach the earring back to the earring.
  • And that’s all! Of course, you can get as fancy as you want with the designs, mixing colors, creating marbling or dotting effects, and so on.
