I cut off about half of the stem of each eye pin and inserted it into the clay before baking it. It’s essential to keep in mind that you’ll want each attachment point to be at a 90-degree angle from the other to have your triangles hang flatly. Because the earring hook will be attached after the clay has cured – either by baking in my case or by air if you choose an air-dry clay – you’ll have to keep in mind what angle you want each eye pin in.
