Hello dear polymer clay enthusiast!

As I continue working on my Asian-inspired theme, I thought it would be nice to incorporate some SPRING vibes into my designs. Therefore, I have an effortless technique to create a stunning set of dangle earrings that you'll adore wearing during this season.

In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of making a gorgeous pair of dangle earrings using cadmium red polymer clay as the base. We'll embellish the earrings with a beautiful Sakura pattern using a silk-screening technique, and add some extra sparkle with diamond painting drills.

To give the earrings a glossy finish and protect the design, we'll use UV resin on top. Don't worry if you've never used these materials before - I'll walk you through each step and share my tips and tricks to help you achieve beautiful results.

I'm going to use beautiful dangle elements to add more "drama" to this design. And after trying out several options, I ended up going for freshwater pearls and some metal spiraling elements that I felt were the perfect match for this cadmium red earring focal pieces. I hope you'll like this idea too;)

These earrings are perfect for springtime, and are sure to make a statement with their bold red color and intricate design. Whether you're an experienced polymer clay artist or a beginner looking to try something new, this tutorial is for you! So grab your materials and let's get started creating some stunning jewelry together.
