Project Instructions
Step 1 Roll red clay into a sheet about 1/8" thick.
Step 2 Lightly spray the sheet of clay with the water. This will act as a “release” so that the texture sheet or stamp won't stick to the clay. Place the texture on the clay and roll over the entire surface with the plastic roller to evenly emboss the pattern into the clay.
Step 3 Remove the texture sheet and carefully lift the clay from the work surface. Using one of the tools will help. Place the clay back onto the work surface.
Step 4 Use the heart cutter to cut out the heart pattern. Set the heart aside and repeat Steps 1-4 with the pink clay. Set the remaining stamped clay aside.
Step 5 The hearts will be stacked and glued into place after baking, so use the toothpick to put a hole in the right side of the pink heart. Set both hearts aside.
Step 6 Use the small heart cutter to cut out two hearts for the earrings. Use the toothpick to place the holes in the center top of each heart.
Step 7 Bake all pieces according to the instructions above. Allow to cool completely.
Step 8 After the clay has cooled, the two large hearts can be glued together. Attach the heart pendant to the chain with one of the large silver jump rings, using both pairs of pliers to open and close the jump ring. Attach the selected clasp.
Step 9 Thread each of the small hearts onto a silver head pin, trim to ½" and use the small round nose pliers to create the loop at the top of the earring. Attach the ear wire to the loop and close the loop.
