A Waste-Not-Want-Not Jewelry Making Story That Just Makes Sense:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The weekly video tutorial from a couple of weeks ago was about using alcohol inks on crackled gold leaf<\/a>. In that project, you learned how to make polymer clay<\/span> pendants which have a circular cutout near the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now as you should know by now, I’m not a big fan of wasting clay. So those cutout pieces were used to make a matching set of earrings which you can see pictured above in today’s photo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making these earrings is very simple. After baking the round cutout pieces of clay upside down (to prevent bubbles), on a sheet of plain printer paper in a ceramic tile sandwich<\/a>, the circles were sanded, polished and glued onto stainless steel ear posts with Krazy Glue.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s it! So simple it almost feels like you cheated! And they are so pretty and easy to wear. In fact I am wearing a pair right now!<\/span><\/p>\n

In the comments section below, please share your “waste not want not” polymer clay stories. Let’s get those creative ideas flowing.<\/span><\/p>\n
