Happy Flag Day! Ok, so one of my nieces is having her 9th birthday soon and I wanted to make her a little something along with some stuff I got for her so I made these cute little piggy earrings (she is really into pigs).
So to start I got some pink sculpty clay and made two little clay balls as equal size as possible and made them a little flat.
Then I put my earring studs into them and covered it up as best as I could. At first I was going to make dangle earrings, but decided that since she is still kinda young that non-dangles would be better.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicyo9uFx_pMqLfM2lrZIqhmnQEot3iJahoFQxJHTFUOlt3qXwI8qWi2hgs42QMYbtKAQUg5sIdPw9asmozVp1js_YwNgpUyJXQhQNn7_q7jJD7ehiW0_lOj1rTsE9UJbtGIsvhFD6jb_Q/s320/IMG_0784.JPG)
Then added a few triangles for ears and baked the clay.
Then I painted eyes and nose and glazed. As you can see the glazed one wasn't dry and had a big bubble when I took the picture.
Once they were dry I found some board I had, covered it in some scrapbook paper, punched some holes into it, and put the earrings in. I loved how this did not take too long.
Aww, those are darling! Heather from Dollar Store Crafts emailed me about these and she was right- I'm smitten! I would love to link to these if you didn't mind.
