Finishes off nicely. Thank you
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You explain it all so well and you do it so neatly. I have been trying to decide on way to attach the posts for weeks. I wanted to do this method but until i saw your video it looked so messy, difficult and took to long. I cant wait to see more of you videos.
Ah, thank you for your comment - it really cheered me up today. I'm so pleased it was useful. I hope you have success with your earring making 😃
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate your teaching
Ah, thank you so much Pauline. Your comment has really brightened my day.
Thank you for Amazing tutorial!
Thank you Elena - I'm so glad you liked it 😊
thank you, so clear 😊
Thank you Kerry - I'm glad it was helpful 😃
Thank you, I'll be trying this 🙏🏽🙂
I hope it works well for you 😃
god bless you love!
I hope it was helpful 😃
And fresh into this I forgive me but is it possible to over basically doing this?
So you applied the back and little clay circle to the back of baked clay? Then you had to bake it again? How long and what heat do you bake it again, please?
Yes, use some liquid clay on the back of your baked clay piece and then apply the metal earring post and unbaked clay over the top. I used fimo liquid clay so I baked again at 130° for half an hour. If you are using a different brand of liquid /polymer clay then use the baking instructions for that. Hope that helps 😀
Did you bake the earring part before you did the back and then baked again?
Yes, bake the earrings and then bake again once you've got your earring post added.
Hello! Can you tell me please if the studs are from sterling silver? And if not, you think it is possible to use the same method with silver?
Hello Elena, the studs I used here are not sterling silver. I imagine that sterling silver would be absolutely fine to use with this method. The oven temperature shouldn't be a problem (the melting point for sterling silver is much higher) and the clay will be absolutely fine with silver. Let me know how you get on!
Beautiful colors and a very neat look. May I ask, a baked polymer clay touching the earlobe, doesn't it create any allergic reactions, right? But then again, in the same way, as any other polymer clay pendant or bracelet.
Thank you for a lovely tutorial.
Thank you Annita. With regards to allergy, I would think that an allergy to baked polymer clay would be unusual as it's a hardened plastic (of sorts) basically. Obviously everyone is individual though and what may cause an allergy for one person would be fine for others.
@The Artisan Duck, thank you for your response. I agree, just like anything which might cause an allergy to someone, the same thing might not cause any allergy to somebody else.
how long did you have to bake it for?
I baked for half an hour for the plain earring front and then when, I had added my liquid clay and added more clay with the earring post, I baked for another half an hour.
Does a raw clay stick on baked clay? Cuz I have a glue that doesn’t stick too well on my product.
Hi, no you'll need to use some sort of liquid clay (I use Fimo liquid clay - I've seen it called decorating gel) to act as a glue between the baked and raw clay. Regular glues just don't work at all.
@@TheArtisanDuck thank u for answering. You’re giving me a helpful guidance. I’ll try it🥺💜
You're welcome. I hope it helps 😀
