Polymer clay Stud Earrings Tutorials

 Polymer Clay Studs :

Polymer clay is a versatile medium. Because of the wide variety of techniques and color ranges we can make endless designs. Studs are all time favourite. Most often people face a threat , why I called threat because it can lead to customer disatisfaction. Lot of complaints I see online like the stud post is falling off over time or during shipping . Sigh... 




Usually what we do is Super glue ( E6000 , Gorilla glue etc ) stud post on back of cured art piece of clay. It loosen up eventually. What's the solution ?
Either you should use 2 part Epoxy Resin . Cindy Lietz  was showing one old earrings that still holds up the stud .
Or you have to cover the metal post with another piece of clay and bake again. 




Watch these videos for instance :





In our second tutorial we are using the SWIRL cane slices.
