English Springer Spaniel earring pair (1)

This cutter is a silhouette of an English Springer Spaniel. When cutting with the cutter, be especially careful with your feet, as the hind legs can easily get caught in the cutter. In the pictures, sizes 1 and 2 are used and a piece of elecampane is placed between the cutter and the pulp sheet.

Cut the pulp sheet, which is slightly cool. You can use e.g. maize flour or potato flour, dip the cutter in flour, tap off the excess and cut the dog silhouette from the sheet.

 

This pair of earrings features an English Springer Spaniel clip and a mirror image of it, so you get a dog earring that looks in the same direction in both ears.

 

Cutter sizes measured from the inside, height x width

The cutter needs a little more pressure than a metal cutter. The cutting edges will be sharp and precise. You can also use cling film or a piece of plastic bag in between the cutter and the polymer clay, if you want rounder edges.

The polymer clay cutters are printed in Finland, from plant-based, biodegradable plastic. The cutter must not be heated or put in the oven. The cutter starts to soften at around 60 degrees Celsius.

Clean the cutter after use, wipe off any visible clay.
