Easy and Quick Clay Flower Dangle Earrings

Everyone should learn how to make earrings at some point in their life.

Since so many people wear earrings, that makes them an easy gift to give.

But no one wants just plain earrings. That's why I'm going to teach you how to make earrings out of air dry clay with this step by step tutorial!

These DIY air dry clay jewelry earrings are so much fun to make. They remind you of the young kindergarten days of playing with play doh, except they are so pretty when you are done, (and lightweight) you'll want to wear them every day.

And these air dry clay handmade jewelry earrings will be so special because they are handmade by you. Eveyone loves unique and handmade gifts. Especially the person who has everything, like a mother or grandmother.

Let me tell you how inexpensive they cost too…we're talking a pair cost less than a gumball, inexpensive! I'm not kidding!

And while the drying time takes the longest part of this project, you'll be surprised at how many dozens of pairs you can whip up easily in a couple of hours.

You'll be creating a treasured piece of jewelry that will last for years to come.

This post is part of our 30 Days of Homemade Gifts Series. 30 gifts that are easy (and cheap) to make, but also something you'll be proud to give.

Each Homemade Gift has to meet 5 stipulations in order to maximize your money and make it easy for a busy mom to do:

1. Easy to obtain supplies –  Supplies are things you might already have on hand or are easy to find at Walmart or a craft store so you can get them in the same day you want to make it.
2. Easy to make –  Supplies are easy to work with or use so that anyone could do it… not caustic… so you could do the craft with your kids.
3. Quick to make –  It can be made in 30 minutes or less so it's possible to make this gift in the middle of the night with products you most likely already have on hand. (Note: The 30 minute guide is your "hands on" time, dry time is excluded.)
4. Cheap to make – You should be able to make the project without spending more than $10.
5. Substantial – Each gift is "big" enough that you'll feel confident giving it alone and not having to add a gift card to it.
   BONUSES:
   Multiple uses –  Multiple gifts can be made out of the same supplies giving you options to use up all the supplies you buy.
   Saving Money Double Bonus: Try to think about what you already have on hand to upcycled and save more money.
