Very soon New Year. Toys, tinsel, tangerines and, of course, the same Christmas tree. And why not make Christmas tree earrings from polymer clay with your own hands for a symbolic meeting of the new year? After all, we select beautiful outfits, cook delicious ones.
to make the holiday a success. In this turmoil, do not forget about the little things. For example, such as jewelry. Meeting the new year in such cute earrings, you will please yourself and your loved ones. Yes, and the winter is so long, and handmade earrings will warm you and delight you throughout its entire length.

To make Christmas Christmas tree earrings from polymer clay, you will need:

- polymer clay (red and white);
- roller (you can use a glass with a smooth, glass surface);
- blade;
- a fabric with a large texture (I use a mosquito net, you can replace it with jeans or burlap);
- metal fittings (rings and fasteners);
- a sketch of a Christmas tree.

How I make my own Christmas tree earrings from polymer clay

1: On a sheet of paper in a box, I draw half of the Christmas tree. I fold the sheet in half so that the branches of the tree are symmetrical.




2: With scissors along the contour, I cut out the blank of the Christmas tree. Thus, both sides are completely identical.




3: Stretching red plastic. I roll it out 3-4 mm thick. The main thing is that the plastic should not be rolled out very thinly. Since after firing it will be fragile, and New Year's Christmas tree earrings made of polymer clay may break.
I apply the fabric to the rolled out layer and press it with a rolling pin into the workpiece. You don't need to press hard. When you remove the fabric, it may tear the material behind it, and the printed design will come out with torn edges.




4: I put the Christmas tree template on the layer and lightly press it with my fingers, so that it would be more convenient to cut it out. With a sharp blade along the contour of the template, I cut out the Christmas tree.




5: With a stack or a toothpick, I smooth out the bumps around the edges.




6: I roll the white material into a thin sausage. Approximate size of 1 mm and cut it into small pieces.




7: I form droplets from each piece of white plastic. And I create from them a flower with five petals. Pressing down with a needle each petal in a circle.




8: I make notches along the contour of each side of the Christmas tree with a needle




9: I roll out white plastic into a thin thread and cut off pieces from it, which I insert into each notch on New Year's Christmas tree earrings made of polymer clay, imitating threads.




10: With a toothpick at the head of the Christmas tree, I make a hole for which the accessories will be attached.




11: I roll out small balls of red material and insert them into the center of the flowers. This makes the flowers look more interesting.




I send blanks of earrings made of Yolki polymer clay to be baked in the oven at the temperature indicated on the package (I bake for 10 minutes at 130 degrees).
12: Let the polymer clay herringbone earrings cool and assemble their jewelry. With the help of platypuses, I unbend the ring in different directions and insert it into the Christmas tree blank. I hang the earring by the loop and close the ring.




Do-it-yourself New Year's earrings "Christmas Trees" made of polymer clay are ready.




Experiment with colors and fabrics, and you will end up with an interesting, unique DIY decoration.

And also from polymer clay on a New Year's theme, you can make one decoration -

On the eve of the new year, we are all waiting for a miracle, the fulfillment of desires and are just in a hurry to complete unfinished business in order to exhale and step into the new year with renewed vigor. But we must not forget about the holiday itself. Why not make a bright, symbolic decoration with your own hands and celebrate the New Year in it?

In this master checkout you will see how to make polymer clay earrings " Christmas balls» DIY

For work you will need:

- polymer clay (I use white, gray and red);
- acrylic paint;
- brush;
- glue moment;
- blade;
- a rolling pin or a pasta machine (if there are no special tools, you can use a glass object with a smooth surface, for example, a glass);
- varnish for polymer clay;
- sequins.

How I make "Christmas Balls" earrings from polymer clay

I knead white and gray polymer clay. I roll it into a sausage, cut it off and form balls. The approximate size of the ball is 1 cm.

Why did I take plastic of different colors for the base? If you use sparkles of dark shades, then they look better on a dark base. Light - on light.

By the way, from multi-colored polymer clay can also be made in the form of a Teddy bear.

I string the ball on a toothpick and dip it into a jar of sparkles. I twist the toothpick in a circle so that the sparkles cover the entire surface without voids.

Balls can be rolled in the palms. Then the glitter will stick to the surface better. But do not forget to wash your hands after each color so as not to mix them with each other.

I knead the red polymer clay and roll it out to an approximate thickness of 2 mm.

I cut off the uneven edges of the layer and cut it into thin, identical strips, from which I will make bows for earrings from polymer clay “Christmas balls”. I fold the strip with the ends in the center, forming a bow, and press the edges to secure them to each other.

I cut off a thinner strip and glue it to the middle of the bow, pressing down with a stack (or a toothpick), thus fixing the two halves of the bow.

I cut the remaining end of the thin strip in the middle. It turns out small ponytails of a bow.

I glue the bow to the center of the ball, in the place where I left the hole from the toothpick. I press the bow with my fingers. Trying not to damage its shape. I put a toothpick in the middle of the bow to make a hole for the pin.
I send the bows to bake at the temperature indicated on the packaging of polymer clay (I bake for 10 minutes at 130 degrees).
I take out the balls and, until they have cooled down, I remove them from the toothpicks. Since when cooling it will be very difficult to do.

I take a thin brush (you can use a toothpick) and acrylic paint. I draw white and blue peas on bows.

I put the future “Christmas balls” earrings made of polymer clay back on toothpicks and varnish them to fix the sparkles and acrylic paint on the surface.

I dip the pin in glue. I also drip glue into the center of the hole and insert the pin. I press it with my fingers for a few seconds to fix the pin with the ball.

I bite off the head. I bend the tail of the pin to the side and twist it into a loop with round-nose pliers.

Making jewelry from polymer clay is a very popular hobby today. Making beads and earrings is not difficult at all, the process takes a little time, and the result is amazing. You feel like a real jeweler, ready to create an author's thing for any event. Try making polymer clay earrings for the New Year. They will be a great gift for a sister or girlfriend, or they will make you look original and festive.

Master class: choose materials and tools

If you are not yet a very experienced sculptor, then let's deal with the material. Polymer clay is a thermoplastic, that is, a plasticine-like material that easily takes the desired shape and hardens in the oven. You can buy clay of the color you need in the online store. The most popular products are Fimo from Eberhard Faber. It is softer - Soft and traditional - Classic.

If you have started working with polymer clay, you will also need to purchase a glass work surface, blades and needles, glue, etc.

Now it's time to think about how our earrings will look for the new year. First, choose a design that matches the theme of the holiday. Christmas tree earrings or lollipops will look cute. It's easy to make these. To create Christmas trees we need:

• Green polymer clay
• Thin and thick blades
• Needle
• Rings and hooks
• printed template

As you can see, few materials are needed.

Master class: sculpt a Christmas tree

To get started, find a beautiful template for our Christmas tree on the Internet and print it out. It is better if the paper is thick, because it will be easier to work with it in the future.

We cut out our stencil and start creating from polymer clay.
Roll out the plate to the thickness you need, remember that the product should not be too thin, best option- 0.5 cm. Now attach our stencil to the material and slightly press it into the mass. Take a thicker blade and carefully cut the tree along the outline. Remember that the two earrings must be absolutely symmetrical. Now let's make a hole in the top of the tree. After drying, we will insert a clasp into them.
Our New Year's earrings are almost ready, but in order for them to harden, we will place the product in the oven. Carefully read the instructions on the polymer clay plate: how long and at what temperature the heat treatment is carried out.
When the earrings have hardened, you should wait until they are completely cool. After that, the craft can be coated with water-based varnish, which will give durability and prevent the colors from fading. We insert rings into the holes, on which we will fasten the fastener, that is, the lock-hook. Now our New Year's earrings are completely ready.


If you are more experienced in working with polymer clay, then the product will seem too boring. If you want to decorate the product, you will need a little more materials, skills and time.
Additionally, purchase:

• Multicolored polymer clay
• Liquid plastic
• Sequins, glitters

After you have cut the green clay trees, knead the white clay and mix it with the liquid clay until it becomes creamy. Use multi-colored resin to create small balls that you attach to a tree. Start drawing with white gel on a green surface, the drawing should resemble fluffy white snow lying on tree branches. Attach miniatures to the snow Christmas decorations. The final stage is glitter scattered over the entire surface of the product. After that, it can be baked. Now your earrings look really festive and bright.
Which version of the product to choose depends on you, in any case, with such an ornament you will be unique.

Keeping up the festive mood, we decided to tell you about several ways of how you can make your own decorations for the New Year, in particular snowflake earrings made of special materials.

Polymer clay earrings - method one

Don't be intimidated by the fact that polymer clay is suggested here, this method is so simple that even a beginner can handle it.

White, clay roller (metal or silicone), painted snowflake, cutter, needle, work surface (it can be glass or ceramic tiles, the main thing is that they have a smooth surface), silver acrylic paint, nail file (sandpaper).

Work progress:

1. We knead polymer clay to a very soft state, roll it with a roller into a layer about 1 or 1.5 cm thick. At the same time, it must be rolled out immediately on what it will be baked in the oven.

2. We apply a snowflake drawing face down to the clay and roll it out a little with a roller so that it “transfers” to the clay (it’s good if it is a printed drawing). We leave the paper in this position for 2 minutes so that the paint is better imprinted, and then carefully remove the paper from the surface of the clay.

3. We take a thin cutter and slowly cut out the snowflake along the contours. This must be done very carefully, since then it will be impossible to correct the errors.

4. Also, do not forget to make a small hole on one tip of the snowflake, through which it will then be attached to the ring of the earring. After that, the clay can be baked (how to do it correctly, at what temperature and how long will be written on the packaging of the clay).

5. Then, when the product is baked, we cool it and proceed to grinding.

6. In this case, the author of this method, Olga Solntseva, advises using not a brush, but a cotton pad for applying paint, since it can be used to achieve a more uniform application. We make sure that the paint lies tightly on both sides of the snowflake.

8. Now the snowflake can be attached to the ring of the earring. Everything, the accessory for the New Year is ready!

Polymer clay earrings - method two

Anyone who already knows how to work with polymer clay a little will appreciate the following version of the holiday earrings.

Required materials and tools: again - the basis is taken, as well as mother-of-pearl powder and varnish for polymer clay, sugar or salt, liquid polymer clay (optional), work surface, jewelry pins, ruler, brush, toothpicks, pliers and round-nose pliers.

Work progress:

1. As always, we start by kneading the clay. Then we make a sausage out of it and roll it out until it becomes very thin, about 2 mm in diameter. It is very important that it be as even as possible along the entire length, it depends on how neat the decoration will turn out.

2. Now cut the clay into three identical parts. Their length should be as big as you want the snowflake to be. In this example, the author Starkova Ekaterina decided to stop at a length of 3 cm. After that, the three resulting pieces must be molded into a snowflake, fastening them together in the middle.

3. Next, we make many small balls from clay, their diameter should also be 2-3 mm. We stick them to the base of the snowflake as shown in the photo. This is done with a toothpick or a stack. Very important: if you see that the clay has already lost its plasticity, lubricate the attachment points of the balls with liquid clay.

4. Since our snowflake has a complex pattern, we form 5 more thin flagella from clay, 1 or 1.5 cm long. They must be glued between the main lines of the product so that they form arcs located between two adjacent rays.

5. In order to complete the pattern, we attach one more ball to the middle of each arc, and also do not forget to make a hole on one of the rays in order to attach the product to a special ring later. To do this, make the last small ball, crush it into a cake and glue it securely to the beam. Poke a hole with a toothpick.

6. Next, you need to roll four more, but already larger balls. So, two of them should have a diameter of 1.3 cm, and the other two - 0.7 cm. They must be rolled in sugar or salt so that the surface acquires a beautiful relief shape.

7. Now, you need to string four balls on jewelry pins and send them to bake along with ready-made snowflakes. After they are baked, they must be put in water for 10 minutes to melt the sugar (or salt).

8. We return to our snowflakes. After baking, they must be painted with a special varnish for polymer clay. However, to give them shine, it can be mixed with a little pearlescent powder. For convenience, thread a toothpick into the holes on the snowflakes and, holding on to it, paint the product on both sides.

9. After leaving the snowflakes to dry, take the balls and bend the ends of the pins into loops using round nose pliers. It is clear that if their length is longer than necessary, then the excess must be cut off. Tie two balls together.

10. Now we attach snowflakes to the balls. Then we attach the fastener to the upper element. The earring is ready. The other is going the same way. These earrings will be a great addition to your wardrobe or original gift for the New Year.
