You Will Need (4 things)

  • Super Glue
  • 1 x Craft Knife
  • small amount Oven Bake Clay
  • Black Fine Liner Pen

Steps (10 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    Draw out a diamond shape on a piece of cardboard to make a template. The size should be roughly 1cm.

  2. 2

    Cut this out using a craft knife and a metal ruler to get sharp lines.

  3. 3

    Place a piece of baking paper on a board. This makes it easier to transfer the shaped clay on to a baking sheet and stops it sticking. Roll out a small piece of oven bake clay to an even thickness of about 5mm.

  4. 4

    Place the cardboard diamond template on the clay and press down lightly. This will stop it moving around as you cut. Using a sharp craft knife cut around the template. Repeat so you have you have two shapes the same.

  5. 5

    Bake according to the instructions on the clay and allow to cool.

  6. 6

    Use sandpaper or a nail file smooth the edges of the diamond shapes.

  7. 7

    Using a fine line pen draw on lines to look like the facets on a cut diamond.

  8. 8

    Once the ink is dry. Turn the shapes over and a dot of strong glue on to the back of each one.

  9. 9

    Glue on your earring posts.

  10. 10

    Allow the glue to dry and you are all done!
