Sculpey Air-Dry™ Porcelain Moth Earrings

Plan to work with a nonporous, smooth and well-cleaned surface.

Try to use only the amount of clay you need at a certain time, and leave the rest sealed and stored away.

Knead your Sculpey Air-Dry™ Porcelain Clay before you begin shaping it for your creations.

Use your hands, different crafting tools and various multimedia materials to shape your clay into the design you desire. You can also incorporate mixed media elements and unique patterns and textures with air-dry porcelain clay.

Stand or lay your Sculpey Air-Dry™ Porcelain Clay projects on a nonporous surface with a smooth, clean finish in an area with low humidity. Ensure the clay remains undisturbed and untouched for approximately 24 hours to make sure it completely hardens.

Cut out a moth shape about 2 inches in size from a sheet of paper or cardstock.

Roll a thick slab of porcelain clay and place the cut out on top. Use an X-Acto knife to cut the shape out of the clay. Smooth any rough edges as needed. Do this for a
total of two moths.

Let the clay dry according to Step 1.

Paint the dried shape, using a pale orange color for the base. Use a darker orange to color the wings.

Use dark brown paint to create the body of the moth as shown in the photo.

Use various colors, brushes, and dotting tools to paint details for your moths and dry them completely.
Repeat this with both pieces.

Use a Dremel drill (or hand drill) to make a small hole for an eye screw and twist in the eye screw.

Apply a layer (or 2) of the Sculpey Gloss Glaze.

Loop two jump rings through the eye screw with the pliers, keeping the second
jumping open.

Place the loop of the earring hook onto the jump ring and close.
