Michelle first spread the clay on a table and used pastry cutters to cut out some shapes for the earrings.
Then he pressed clay stamps onto the shapes and molded the edges into place.
For the multi-piece earrings, she used a wool pin to poke holes that she could use to attach with a brooch.

Then she let it cool and glued them to the earrings with Gorilla Glue.

Hundreds of people praised her for being extremely elegant and stylish.
“You are so talented,” one woman wrote. “I love her so much.”
“The earrings are amazing,” said another. “I’ve passed those stamps a hundred times, I wish I’d thought of that sooner.
Third, “I’ve been struggling to feel stylish since I lost my job recently… but this looks so cute and affordable – maybe I can get my daughter to do these with me.”
Some people were concerned about the weight of the product.
“They look very beautiful, but very heavy,” said one man. “Do your ears have a hard time plugging in too much?”
But Michelle acted quickly to allay her fears. ‘None!’ she said. “Make sure you don’t roll the clay too thick at first.”
After he was satisfied with its shape, he inserted the hook into the holes and baked it until the clay solidified.
Others have shared helpful tips and tricks.
“One small tip is that by printing the shapes first and then cutting them out, I found that they can’t be bent like when you do the opposite,” one woman said.
“Be careful when you’re in the oven,” another warned. “I left mine in there too long and they became very dry and flaky.”
A third said, “I’ve used food dyes to color clay in the past and it worked great.”
