POLYMER CLAY BUNNY EARRINGS

Send

Increasingly, modern girls, instead of expensive and elaborate jewelry made of precious metals, prefer to wear jewelry from such a seemingly unattractive material like polymer clay. What is the secret of plastic? In fact, everything is very simple, this material is easy to use, there are a huge number of shades of this material, and the main thing is that, having put on such an ornament, the girl will always look original and unique.
Today we will try to make bunny earrings. For this we need:
1. Polymer clay Sonnet blue (you can use any plastic you have, but personally I like this particular company);
1. Polymer clay Sonnet white;
2. Polymer clay Sonnet purple;
3. Stationery knife;
4. Acrylic paints in white, black and yellow;
5. A sketch of future earrings;
6. Accessories for earrings.

Now you can start creating. First, cut off a piece of blue plastic (this will be our basis for earrings) and mulch it in your hands for a long time until it becomes soft and supple.

Then the plastic must be rolled into a not very thick layer. To roll out polymer clay, you can use a special silicone roller, or you can use the means at hand (I personally use a bottle of hairspray). This does not affect the quality of the product, and helps beginners to save a penny.

Now we attach to the resulting pancake the bunny we have available (you can make it yourself or use the billet below) and carefully cut it with a clerical knife.

Then we remove the blank and see that no matter how hard we try, our hare so far looks more like an incomprehensible blot with uneven edges.

Therefore, we gently smooth the edges of the base and give it the final shape.

After that, take the white clay, mash it in your hands and roll up two small identical balls - these are the eyes of our hare.

Next, you need to attach the balls to the place where the bunny will have eyes and lightly press on them.

We take a little black clay, roll up very small balls and make pupils of the hare.

And finally, do not forget to attach a nose to the hare. The same actions must be carried out with the second earring.
The product is almost ready. It remains to bake it and paint. We put the catkins in the oven for 30 minutes at a temperature of 130 degrees (the temperature and firing time can be adjusted depending on the type of plastic, but usually the baking rules are indicated on the packaging of polymer clay). If you want everything to work out for you, in no case do not try to bake the clay in the microwave. After half an hour, we take out the earrings and wait until they cool. In this case, be careful until the clay has cooled, it can easily deform.
Cooled earrings must be painted. To do this, take a thin brush and draw flowers. First, draw the flowers with white paint. Then we make the yellow center, and at the end we circle the flower with a black outline. Let the paints dry.
