Learn how easy it is to use our new silicone cabochon and bezel molds to create these tear drop earrings.
A note about rhinestones/crystals:
If your rhinestones are glass or crystal, you will be able to bake them into place on your piece. Just press them into the clay and make sure the clay comes up around them just a little to hold them into place. If your rhinestones are plastic you will not be able to bake them. Push them into place where you want them to make a well. Then gently lift them back out. Glue them into place later after the clay has been baked. OR- you can simply glue them onto the surface of the clay after baking. Another option is HotFix rhinestones. These have an adhesive on the back that will fuse with the clay while baking. These are safe to put into place on raw clay and will be securely fixed during the baking process.

Project Instructions
Your workspace:
Please make sure your work area is covered and you are not working on an unprotected surface. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Work ‘n Bake Clay Mat, wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Uncured clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately.
Getting Started:
Start with clean hands, unwrap and knead clay until soft and smooth, or condition by running clay though a Pasta Machine. We recommend using a designated machine for clay purposes only. When working with multiple colors, clean hands with soap and water or baby wipes (we have found that baby wipes work best) before switching colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces firmly together. Wash hands after use.
Baking:
Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). After you are done creating; for best results bake clay on an oven-proof surface such metal, aluminum foil, an index card or the Sculpey® Clay Mat at 275°F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per ¼" (6 mm) thickness according to package directions. Oven safe glass or ceramic surfaces are also acceptable for baking; however please note that the baking times may take longer as the glass or ceramic surfaces take longer to heat up. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME.

Condition a small amount of Green Pluffy clay in your hands until it is soft and pliable. Flatten the clay between the palms of your hands and either roll the clay through the widest setting on the Clay Conditioning Machine or use an acrylic roller to roll the clay to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Randomly cover the sheet of clay with the leaf stamp, leaving no open spaces.
Use the premo Sculpey Rectangular cutter to cut out tiles – you will need 9 tiles for each pot.
Use a large round tool, like the ball tool from the Sculpey Style and Details set to gently push the clay from the cutter if necessary.
Gently apply a small amount of Gold Pearl Ex powder to each tile using your finger tip.
Glue each tile into place, leaving a small space, as shown, between each tile. Work quickly, so that you can reposition the tiles easily to even out the space between.
Cut the paper fastener portion off each brad, leaving approximately 1/8 inch of the stem or the same amount as the thickness of each tile.
Glue each brad into place between each tile.
Allow the glue to dry and then bake according to the directions above in Step 1.
