Making methods
Choose how to make your cherry
The layered method stacks separate colour pieces on a yellow base cut to the cherry silhouette. The relief method cuts the outline and presses the detail into one slab. Both keep the opening between the stems clear.
Layered colour cherry
Cut the base, fruit, leaves, flowers and square centres from your chosen clay colours, then stack them to build the raised design. The small stud sets retain the same details in thinner colour pieces.
One-slab relief cherry
Press the cherry outline and its detail into one slab. Leave it one colour or paint the baked detail. The small stud version has recessed flower shapes with raised square centres; the larger versions use pressed outline detail.
Your first piece
Pick your first piece
Print the matching files for one size and method. Keep the remaining sizes for another project.
One slab
A 36 mm relief magnet
- The 36 mm relief cutter.
- Add
- One clay colour, two 10 mm disc magnets and adhesive suitable for baked clay and the magnets.
Press the detail in one piece. Follow the guide’s magnet instructions for the two rear attachment positions.
The full colour stack
A 36 mm layered pendant
- The six cutters in the 36 mm layered set.
- Add
- Your chosen clay colours, the specified connection rings, the specified chain and smooth-jaw pliers.
The 36 mm layered pendant gives the flowers and centres more room than the small studs while you learn the stacking order.
Small details
A pair of 24 mm layered studs
- The six cutters in the dedicated 24 mm small layered set. Use the same set for both earrings.
- Add
- Clay colours, two 4 mm flat-pad posts with matching backs and adhesive suitable for baked clay and metal.
Keep the leaves, flowers and square centres in a small no-circle design. Follow its thin-layer method rather than shrinking a larger set.
Wall art display
A cherry for your wall, with a pair ready to wear
Make the 140 mm layered or relief cherry as wall art. Its two marked holes can hold one pair of matching drop earrings, while two printed hangers sit out of sight behind the leaves.
- Hang it
- Print two short bar hangers and two matching wall studs. Glue the hangers to the bare clay back and follow the full-size templates in the guide.
- Keep it free
- The bottom hangs clear of the wall. The guide gives fixing gaps, rear placement and load limits; renders do not establish a wall or adhesive load rating.
- Show one pair
- Drill only the two pressed earring marks after baking and cooling. Hang one pair of 36 mm layered or 44 mm relief drops.
- Sell your work
- The maker licence includes finished clay wall art with its hangers attached. Printed tools and separate printed wall fittings are not for sale.

The cherry at a glance
Choose one matching cutter set, make a layered or relief cherry, then add the attachment for your piece. The guide gives the complete making and mounting steps.
Step 01
Print the matching cutters
Choose the files for one size and method. Keep the supplied scale and use that set throughout the piece. A printing service must be able to follow the guide’s small-feature print settings.
The supplied 36 mm base cutter.
Step 02
Cut and build the cherry
For layered colour, cut the separate shapes and place fruit and leaves on the base, then flowers and centres. For relief, press the outline and detail into one slab. Keep the opening between the stems clear.
Place the separate colour pieces on the base.
Step 03
Bake, cool and finish
Follow your clay packet for baking, then let the piece cool before smoothing edges or painting the detail. Keep the attachment’s glue area bare.
Bake on an oven-safe tile, then let the clay cool.
Step 04
Add the attachment for your piece
Use the matching post, ring, pin or magnet instructions. Wall art uses two short hangers behind the leaves, with matching wall studs, and hangs freely at the bottom.
The wall cherry uses two printed hangers behind its leaves.
