Rose Studs

These rose-shaped stud earrings are simple, but cute, and making them is a cinch. You start with a very small curl of clay, and as you keep adding thin pieces of clay as you go. Make sure to cut off the excess clay at the bottom when you feel you are finished. I would say that the hardest part of making these earrings is making them identical. There were lots of trials and errors in the process of creating these. Some of my failed designs were too thin and broke apart, and others were so thick that they didn’t look as delicate as I would have liked. Some other failed attempts were different sizes altogether! It just takes patience and observation. There are also many possible combinations with this design. Shades of pink or yellow are also suitable for this piece, and if you have accents like pastels for clay, then you can lightly brush the ends of the rose, creating a beautiful ombre. That’s all for now! See you in the next post!
