Yellow Pixel Flame Dangle Earrings

A chunky retro flame in bright, blocky steps. The cutters give you clean, matching layers to stack, so both earrings come out even and the pixel steps stay sharp. One note on the photos: the little hanging tab above each flame is styling, not a cutter piece; your pair hangs from a hole you drill or punch through the top pixel.

Digital cutter files you print at home on a 3D printer. Bring your own polymer clay, findings, and finish.

Lookbook reference

Yellow Polymer Clay Pixel Flame Dangle Earrings. Handmade earrings using slab construction, finished with gloss sealant. Make matched pixel-flame drop earrings: a yellow base, white field, and magenta core with optional scrap-tested shimmer.

Make it yours

The photo is just one colourway. Build your pair in any colours you like, and the crisp cutters keep it looking like a finished set, not a first try.

What this is

Chunky retro flame with steps that stay sharp

Pixel flames look their best when the steps stay square and defined. Once the clay warms up even a little those edges can soften and lose their clarity. These nested cutters let you cut each layer with the steps already in the right place, so you can keep everything crisp while you stack. The bright version in the photos is fun, but the cutters work with any colours you want. Our build kit guide gives you the layer order, the thicknesses, and the small checks we rely on; treat them as a tested starting point and make the flame your own.

Before you make

Digital file kit and guide, not a guaranteed result. No physical cutter, clay, filament, hardware, or finished piece is included unless a listing says so. Adult hobbyist use only. Printed tools are not toys or food safe. AI helped draft parts of it. 3D print and test one piece first, and follow the manufacturer instructions for your own materials. Full disclosures

Safety, license, refunds, and AI details

Starting point: This kit is a guide, not a guaranteed result, and AI helped draft parts of it. The manufacturer's instructions for the clay, glues, finishes, and hardware you use take precedence, so adapt and test on scrap before making a batch.
Files only: This is a digital file product for adult hobbyist use. No physical cutter, printed tool, finished clay piece, clay, filament, hardware, adhesive, finish, printer, or supplies are included unless a listing says otherwise.
Test first: 3D print and make one test piece first. Results depend on your printer, slicer, filament, clay brand, oven, glues, adhesives, finishes, hardware, and technique.
Clay safety: Follow all manufacturer labels and safety instructions, use ventilation and protective equipment when needed, keep clay tools separate from food preparation, and do not use printed clay tools for food, baking, or cookie dough.
Selling responsibility: If you gift or sell finished pieces, you are responsible for testing the finished item, checking hardware strength, labelling, marketplace rules, taxes, customer service, and legal compliance.
Maker license + refunds: Your build kit includes a maker license. You can 3D print the tools for your own worktable and sell finished polymer clay pieces you make with them. Please do not sell, share, upload, or redistribute the digital files, and please do not sell printed cutters or tools made from the files. The included License.pdf has the full terms. Digital downloads usually cannot be returned after delivery, but message ClayBakeStudio if a file is missing or not as described; your legal rights still apply.

Layered cutter set

Pick one supplied size, 3D print that size's flame cutters, and build the bright layered pair.

5 cutter roles in 32, 36, 40, and 48 mm item sizes
The stack is a yellow base, a white field, and one magenta core
The core comes two ways: the reveal-window core (primary, lets the white show through) or a solid core as an off-path alternate; pick one, not both
A small white top-highlight cutter is optional
Each cutter role includes 32 mm, 36 mm, 40 mm, and 48 mm item sizes
Use the numbered panels to match each cutter to the slab or result it makes

Top highlight cutter (optional)Cuts the optional small white highlight for the top of the flame.

Relief alternate

Use the relief cutter when you want one slab with pressed flame detail instead of separate colour layers.

One single-slab cutter role for the relief route
Four supplied item sizes are included
Use this route for single colour, patterned slab, or painted variants

Hole-punch helpers

Included helper tools, not extra supplies to buy. They punch a clean hanging hole sized to your finding, so pick the one that fits your jump ring, earring hook, or keychain ring. Use them on raw clay if you have no drill, or drill after baking for the neatest placement.

Your cutter map

Every cutter, and the slab it makes

Each cutter is paired with the clay slab it cuts, so you can match a printed cutter to its place in the stack.

How you'll make it

The build, at a glance

This build is a stack of thin veneers, and the pixel steps only stay square if each layer goes down cool and unstretched. Here is the flow at a glance; the paid guide holds the layer thicknesses and the checks between them.

Step 1 - rolling and cutting
Prepare the flame base
Roll and cut the bright yellow flame base so the stepped silhouette is ready for colour layers.
Step 2 - layer cutting
Cut the layered colours
Cut the connected white field from a cool slab first; the guide then walks the core choice, solid magenta or the reveal-window cut that lets the white show through.
Step 3 - layering
Stack the pixel flame
Layer the yellow, white, and magenta in order and settle the stack gently so the stepped edges stay clear.
Step 4 - bake and assembly
Bake, cool, and add findings
Check the mirrored pair, choose the drill or raw-punch hole route, bake flat, cool completely, and add the earring findings.

Layered veneer method

Choose one supplied size, 3D print the flame cutter set, and use the guide for the layered colour build, relief alternate, hole options, baking, and findings.

Best match to the lookbook pair
Includes solid-core and reveal-cutout options
Keeps the flame readable at earring scale

Before you start

What you bring

Three clay colours in one firm line make this pair: bright yellow for the base, white for the field, and a hot magenta for the core, plus silver findings for the short drop. The kit supplies the cutters and guide; the rest is standard slab-making gear.

Worth knowing

Useful maker tips

Cutters grab the thin flame veneers

First move

Dust the cutter lightly with cornstarch and cut on a tile or glass surface so the slab stays put. Use cling wrap only when you want a softer rounded edge.

Pixel steps soften while you stack

First move

Work with a cool, firm slab and press each layer down with light, even pressure so the square steps keep their edges.

The two earrings do not match

First move

Cut both earrings from the same slab in one session and check them side by side before baking, so the mirrored pair stays even.

Repurpose

Same cutters, another finished piece

Use the relief cutter for a brooch, magnet, or pendant by changing the back hardware or adding a top hanging hole. For brooch and magnet variants, test pull, sag, spin, and adhesive on the finished weight before wear or sale.

Flame brooch

Choose a larger supplied size and bond a pin back high on the cooled clay so the flame sits level on fabric.

Flame magnet

Bond a small magnet matched to the finished weight instead of adding a pin or hanging hole.

Flame pendant

Drill the top hole after baking for the cleanest placement, or use the raw-clay punch helper if you do not have a drill.
