          Sunset Ombre Earrings Tutorial

          This earring project uses Kato PolyClay™ to create a pretty ombre effect that's easy to add to ear wires. Created by: Tiffany White

          Designer Tips

          • Using a craft blade, cut each of 3 colors of polymer clay into small pieces. Keep each color of cut up pieces in separate piles.
          • Now, rearrange your pieces into 7 piles that include the following: all red, mostly red with some orange, mostly orange with some red, all orange, mostly orange with some yellow, mostly yellow with some orange, all yellow.
          • Blend the first pile with your hands, until you get a smooth consistent color. Warm hands are a great asset for this step!
          • A great way to hand blend colors is to roll the two colors between your hands until you form a "snake". Fold the snake in half and continue to roll the clay into another snake. Repeat this process until you have a smooth, blended color.

          • Repeat this blending process with each separate pile of cut up clay until you have 7 distinct colors of clay.
          • Roll each finished color into a 1 inch cylinder, then flatten it with a rolling pin or jumbo magic marker. Roll them about 1/4 inch thick.
          • After you've flattened all the colors, stack them like a rainbow. Now you've got an ombre cane.
          • Cut a thin slice of the cane and lay the bezel on top of the slice. Using your knife, trim the clay to the shape of the bezel.
          • Press your sliced polymer clay cane into one of the bezels, making sure it fills the entire bezel.
          • Using your craft blade, trim the excess clay that sticks up above the surface of the bezel. Only a thin slice of clay will remain in the bezel cup.
          • Repeat the last 3 steps with your second jewelry bezel.
          • Bake the polymer clay focals on a sheet pan for 10-15 minutes at 275 degrees F.
          • Your baked focals are now finished! They will naturally have a matte finish. Optional: If you want to make them shiny, add a thin coat of resin spray.
          • Attach a pendant to each earring hook with a 10mm jump ring and you're done!
          • To make a matching necklace, use the same polymer clay cane you already made for this necklace! See our Sunset Ombre Necklace Tutorial for more information.
