Make succulent-shaped ear studs with self-drying clay and watercolor paints.
Make succulent-shaped ear studs with self-drying clay and watercolor paints.
Gather your supplies. I used self-hardening clay, but polymer clay would work just as fine. It's good go have some tools to help you shape the clay, but don't go crazy: even a butter knife can be a good tool here.
Start by rolling the clay flat a cutting out individual clay "leaves".
Staring with the middle, add each petal/leaf. Feel free to use water if the clay is too hard.
Keep adding the petals and shaping them as you go.
Repeat for the second one.
Once you are done, slice the top and make the bottom really flat- ready to be glued onto a post.
Paint with watercolors.
I used shades of green and purple for the edges.
Remember to glue a post once the paint is dry.
And wear!
