A plain guide to the metal parts that make clay wearable: what each finding does, how to open a jump ring correctly, and how to attach posts so they stay on.
Shape small polymer clay charms from basic forms and set the eye pin so it stays put, using a simple mushroom as the worked example.
Make matching polymer clay beads by measuring equal portions, rolling true rounds and piercing each hole from both sides so the bead keeps its shape.
Inlay a thin stripe into a slab, cut a teardrop and choose between a pierced hole, a glue-on bail or an eye pin to hang it.
Cut arches and circles from an even slab, cure and sand them, then link each pair with a jump ring and an earring post.
