Polymer clay🦄 unicorn earrings🦄 DIY

in #crafts6 years ago (edited)

Aloha and welcome 🌺

As some of you know, I have a great love for #homemade #crafts. Over the last 24 years my skills have involved from #hawaiian #seed #jewelry to #maui #shell jewelry. Ive been doing #polymerclay now for about 5 years and like to use it as a medium in my jewelry, but also love just doing something totally out of my jewelry normal.

If anyone is interested here is my online store link

Not everything i post is in here but im happy to add anything you see me post in the future

In this #diy i will show the pain staking long but fun process that it takes me to just make one pair of earrings. I also want to let you know that because its a time consuming thing i used a few different ones to show the finished and the making part thats why the colors are different, just so i could try and get the post done a little faster.

To do this post it took me extra time (2 hours plus the time to blog, think the writing of the post took longer then the earrings lol) to stop and take pictures of the steps so i hope that its a hit.🤗 this by far is no fast post and well... here it goes 🌺

This is the end result 🦄 two #beautiful earrings💖.

They are all so adorable! But aren't they a little too heavy for ears? They looks quite big..

I like those unicorns! Actually I love unicorns in general :) The pink one would be my favorite.. oh, and those panda bears! So cute!!

It looks like a time consuming process indeed. All these clay forming looks like a precise work and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to do it ;)

Thank you for putting together a post even though it took you so long :) It was my pleasure to see your creations!

Congratulations on your curie vote and have a lovely weekend!

No not heavy at all, the clay is very lightweight you would be very surprised.

And yes the pink unicorns are my favorite as well, so much so that im keeping them for myself haha..

May i ask how you found my blog? Im just asking because ive never gotten so much aloha and im just shocked.lol

Hahaha, yes, of course. I found you because curie upvoted you but other way I would find you would be through the artzone tag ;)

Try to connect with more people and comment as much as you can on various content and you will see that there will be more and more aloha coming your way ;)

My little pony unicorns ahhhhh so Nice
