Modern manufacturers offer a lot of interesting materials, suitable for making different costume jewelry. Due to its high plasticity and ease of use, polymer clay has gained special popularity. The material looks and feels like plasticine and has a characteristic herbaceous odor. Special plasticizers impart plasticity to the clay, and at a temperature of 100-300 degrees they are completely absorbed into the material, after which it loses its plasticity and solidifies.
Of plastic mold all kinds of jewelry, but the easiest to make and creative in the design are prikolnye earrings from polymer clay. These accessories are original design, rich colors and interesting effects (glow in the dark, shine).
The process of making beautiful earrings from polymer clay
Plastic allows you to transfer miniature details, effectively imitate different textures and materials. This property is very useful when making earrings in the form of flowers, little animals, butterflies and abstract forms.
When making earrings the masters use different improvised items that are easy to find in any apartment. The main instruments are:

- Roller or any solid object of cylindrical shape;
- surface for baking (baking tray, plate, plank);
- small tools for shaping clay (toothpicks, threads, fasteners);
- paint and brush.
To begin with, polymer clay can be used to make earrings of a bow or a model based on balls. Bows are made by fastening two triangles and two thin strips resembling the tips of bows. If you want to make accessories with balls, you can roll three balls of different diameters and connect them with a thread as you grow.
