A POLYMER CLAY TUTORIAL: Colorful Donut Earrings with Sprinkles

Materials list:

Clay - I use Kato Polyclay:

2 oz white
2 oz yellow
1 oz red
1 o magenta
1 oz turquoise
1 oz green
1 oz violet
1 oz gold
Kato Clear Medium or other liquid polymer clay

Tools

pasta machine
clay blade
needle tool for piercing
scalpel or needle tool for cutting (this is a thick acupuncture needle set in a ball of scrap clay - it’s perfect for cutting thin sheets of clay)
brush
deli paper
pencil
ceramic tile
CA glue - I use Loctate Ultragel Control
coarse sandpaper - I use Abranet P80

2” cutter (or the overall size you wish) I use the nylon cutters as they retain their shape better than the metal wrapped ones.
5/8” cutter (again, the size is your choice) OR my Fave Ruler (FAVE RULER https://prairiecraft.com/kato/DKF-WB7...) and my Ring Template (https://prairiecraft.com/kato/DK-FRST... I use these to more accurately cut the center hole)

Optional: kitchen scale for weighing clay amounts.
