CH7 Get started with Jewelry: Earrings, Pendants and Beads Marbled Earrings

Take a marbled piece of clay it should look like a candy cane and make it into a spiral or swirl. Then you are going to take your rolling pin and roll it out flat and smooth. Take your shape or cookie cutters to punch the shapes of the earrings from the clay. If they are going to be dangle earrings, add a hole at the top for the earring hook. If this will be an earring stud the earing post will either need to be poked through before being baked or glued on after baking. The glue for this project is industrial strength E6000 glue. Before gluing, coat the earing with polyurethane. (Optional)
