DIY. Polymer clay stitch earrings

in #diy6 years ago (edited)

This is the first time im attempting to make these #earrings and took me 2 hours to get together . They are a custom order for a coworker 💙.
100% done by my hands😉.

This is how they turned out. Again i used #polymerclay and #sterlingsliver earring hooks to finish them off. I do make and sell all my #jewelry and most of my earrings are $15 USD. Hope you enjoy this #diy 💜

Liquid clay to seal the head pins in and use some around the ears.

And your head pins

First i started with the head and body. A ball for the head and a tear drop shape for the body.

Attach them.

Make a oval of lighter color clay for the belly and flatten it out .

Making the mouth, i made a banana like shape and flatten it out .

2019-03-15-08-49-10-766.jpg

Attach and blend into the neck .

2019-03-15-08-49-05-088.jpg

Making the feet is really easy, just two little balls and attach.

2019-03-15-08-48-59-525.jpg

Doing the eyes again two small balls and flatten them, use the same color as the mouth and belly.

2019-03-15-08-48-23-797.jpg

Attach

2019-03-15-08-48-17-927.jpg

For the arms its just a few small tear drop shapes.

2019-03-15-08-49-44-505.jpg

Attach them💙

And sorry i jumped to the ears just because of the colors, i like to stay with the same colors at a time so that the darker colors dont run off on my fingers and mix into the lighter ones.

So here is how i did the ears. Rolled out again tear drop shapes of the light blue and purple ( for the inner ear color) and flatten.

2019-03-15-08-48-41-325.jpg

2019-03-15-08-48-46-568.jpg

Lay them on top of each other.

2019-03-15-08-48-36-811.jpg

Roll to blend. And cut a notch out of each opposite site for a left and right ear.

2019-03-15-08-48-31-883.jpg

Then attach and blend to the head. ( sorry this picture doesnt have the arms on yet i had to use the second one to take the picture for the diy lol )

2019-03-15-08-48-12-472.jpg

Back to the eyes. Make two small black balls and press onto the eyes .

2019-03-15-08-48-06-317.jpg

2019-03-15-08-47-58-259.jpg

Add your nose and extra details to the feet if you want. I used a dark purple to match the backs details.

And for the back i just added a ball for his tail and some dark purple for little details. Also add your head pin with some Liquid clay.

Now bake according to your clays instructions.

After cooled I #handpainted the white dots for the eyes. Once the paint drys go ahead and glaze and add your earring hooks and your finished 🤗💙💜.
