Preparing tools and materials

In this first step, we must focus on preparing the materials and tools needed to make clay earring diy. To make beautiful clay earrings, we usually need to use polymer clay. As a result, it's best to work on top of a piece of scrap paper or wax paper, a steel baking tray, or a glassware item to protect your kitchen counter. If you lack any of those, you can work on top of a printing paper taped down.

Here are some tools and materials that you may need to prepare:

• Polymer clay (any color you want)
• Earring studs and back 
• Acrylic color (if you can’t find the color of clay that you need)
• Rolling pin (do not use the wood pin that you use to cook)
• Clay slicer or knife
• Needles or toothpicks
• Flat space  

Softening the polymer clay and starting mix colors

You can use the above-mentioned tools and materials. Essentially, you can begin making accessories like clay earring diy right away. When everything is ready, begin by softening the clay. To ease the clay, you can knead it or roll it out like dough in this step. If you have a rolling pin, you can use it to save time. However, because the rolling machine is used for food, proceed with caution.

After the clay has softened, you can begin mixing colors and forming shapes. The models can be found all over the internet and in books.

Make a large enough hole to add your jump rings as well as other jewelry parts in the following step. You should also keep the small hole near the piece's edge.

Polymer clay can be baked in a standard home oven. A toaster oven can also be used if it maintains a constant temperature (no heating coils!). Don't ever bake the polymer clay in the microwave. After baking, all you have to do is wait for it to cool and then attach the rings to the clay earring to finish this product.
