INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 - Condition a few small balls of clay in a range of coordinating colours. In this project we used a white base with a combination of pastel pink, coral and burgundy.

Step 2 - Flatten the white balls into 2mm thick slabs with acrylic rolling pin.

Step 3 - Shape the balls of pastel pink, coral and burgundy into thin snakes.

Step 4 - Arrange the snakes in the order you want, and lightly press them together.

Step 5 - Add gold foils, then using a roller to flatten the coils into a slab.

Step 6 - Use clay cutters to cut earring shapes out of the slab.

Step 7 - Make holes for your jump rings using toothpick or large needle

Step 8 - Bake your clay to cure, follow the instructions on the pack

Step 9 - Finally, you can attach clay shapes to each other with metal jump rings. To open a jump ring, grasp it on both sides of the split with pliers. Twist it side to side, don't pull it apart. Then, insert your clay pieces, and twist the ring shut again.
