Instructions
Roll Sculpey® PREMO forest green polymer clay out to about 1mm thick. Using a 30mm clay cutter, cut two rounds for bases of your earrings.
Roll out Sculpey PREMO Spanish olive, sage pearl and more forest green polymer clay into 1mm thick slabs. Use a leaf clay cutter and cut multiple leaves in each color.
Roll a thin snake of Sculpey Soufflé™ cherry pie polymer clay with craft knife. Then cut and roll tiny red balls for the holly berries.
Roll a thin strip of Sculpey Soufflé cherry pie polymer clay and make two bows for the wreaths.
Roll a thin layer of Sculpey Soufflé cowboy polymer clay and make tiny leaves. Assemble them into tiny pinecones.
Using Liquid Sculpey liquid polymer clay, attach the leaves, berries, pinecones and bow onto the rounds to create wreaths.
Make a hole at the top of each wreath with an awl or toothpick. Bake according to the manufacturer’s directions and let the wreaths cool completely. Glaze with Sculpey clear acrylic emulsion. Let it dry completely.
Attach an 8mm 18-gauge twisted jump ring to each wreath. Then use another 8mm 18-gauge twisted jump ring to attach the wreaths to ear studs.
