instructions

1. Earrings - 1. Roll out a ball of yellow polymer clay and make a hole with a darning needle, just large enough to pass a head pin through. Roll out a long thin sausage of tangerine clay and wrap around the bead in a spiral. Repeat to make another matching bead and bake according to the manufacturer's instructions.
   
   2. Thread a matt orange bead onto a head pin, followed by a clay ball and another orange bead. Trim the end of the pin and curl the end over into a loop with round-nosed pliers. Attach an earwire to the loop, then repeat to make a pair.
