D.I.Y. Hexi earrings
We all love a good hexagon at the moment right! In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make these super cool hexi earrings in only a few minutes! Ok so that doesn’t count baking time but they are seriously so simple to make!
You will need
Polymer clay – I used Fimo
Metal shapes – I bought mine here.
Earring backs – I bought mine here.
Strong glue – I used UHU all purpose.
*CORRECTION* This glue didn’t work. So far the only glue I have found to adhere to fimo is E6000.
Step 1
Take a very small amount of polymer clay and need it in your fingers. You want it to get nice and soft so it molds nicely into the shape you want.
Step 2
Put the Fimo into the shape.
Step 3
Use your finger to create a dip form in the clay. If you would prefer the clay be flush with the metal edge just use a very sharp blade to remove the excess clay sitting above the metal.
Repeat these steps to make a second piece.
Step 4
Bake your pieces in the oven following time and temperature instructions on the packaging of your clay. I’m using soft Fimo which needs to be baked at 110 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
Once you have baked your pieces allow them to cool before moving onto the next step.
Step 5
Glue earring backs to the back of your pieces.
*CORRECTION* This glue didn’t work. So far the only glue I have found to adhere to fimo is E6000.
And you’re finished!
So simple right!

These are super cute! I made some and the only issue I had was once the clay is baked, it slides right out of the brass hexagons. My suggestion would be to add a little bit of glue to the clay after it is baked, so that it adheres to the brass.
