A matched pair of stepped, 8-bit pixel-flame drop earrings. Each flame has a bright yellow glitter outer field, a white middle field, and a magenta (Premo Hot Pink) center emblem with a tiny white reveal window. Flat fronts with crisp blocky pixel edges. Each drop hangs from a short silver dangle: a ball-stud post, two small silver balls, and a jump ring through a hole at the top tip of the flame.

Clay brands, ovens, glues, finishes, and hardware behave differently, so check product instructions and test on scrap before making a batch.

These are matched pixel-flame drop earrings: a stepped 8-bit flame in bright yellow with a white middle field and a magenta (Premo Hot Pink) core, all in fine-glitter clay for sparkle. Each flame hangs from a short silver chain off a silver ball-stud post, so it reads as a light dangle, not a flush stud. The clean blocky steps are the whole look, so the build is about keeping pixel edges crisp and cutting a true mirrored left and right. Below are proven ways to get the layered color (stacked veneers, an applied slab, or a pressed single-color relief), then the shared steps to bake flat, round the edges, and mount the silver hardware.
Build kit answer
This is a printable polymer clay build kit for making the pixel flame earrings shown here: a yellow base, white flame field, and magenta core with a reveal window, all in fine-glitter polymer clay for sparkle. The public page shows the flame shape, supply categories, rough layering flow, and kit contents. The full kit guide keeps the measurements, checks, print notes, and fixes.

Ingredients
Clay, colours, findings, glues, and finishes are sourced separately. The kit teaches the build and supplies the ClayBake files or printed tools, but it does not include clay or jewellery hardware.

Build method
This is the making method, not the checkout. With the kit, you follow the matched cutter files and the build guide. By hand, you can still study the piece and work from tracing maps, measuring and testing more yourself. The ways to own the kit live in the purchase panel.
With the ClayBake build kit
Print the matched cutters, stack the colour layers in order, and use the kit guide for the exact hand work.
If the printed tier opens, the ClayBake tools arrive ready-printed with a colour-printed build guide. Clay, findings, finish, and setup tools still come from your own making setup.
The full kit guide holds the exact hand moves, thicknesses, checkpoints, watch-outs, print settings, and troubleshooting path. This page stays at preview level.
See the ways to own this kitOr by hand
Use the relief cutter for one-slab experiments or hand-cut pixels if you already own a grid workflow.
Using your own tools from the public page means studying the finished reference and measuring by hand. If you buy the digital kit but do not print the cutters, the SVG maps give you cleaner tracing templates.

Build sequence
These cards show the order of the build. The full kit guide gives the measurements, hand action, checkpoints, watch-outs, and fixes for each step.
Prepare the flame base
Roll and cut the bright yellow flame base so the stepped silhouette is ready for colour layers.
Cut the layered colours
Prepare the white field and magenta core pieces, keeping the small reveal window readable.
Stack the pixel flame
Layer the yellow, white, and magenta in order and settle the stack gently so the stepped edges stay clear.
Cure and add findings
Add the hanging points, bake flat, cool fully, and finish with earring findings.
Bake according to the clay package and verify your oven with a thermometer. The kit guide gives the profile notes for this build and where to test on scrap before making a batch.
Use a jewellery adhesive after the piece has cooled. The guide covers finding placement and cure-time checks for this build.
Test any gloss, satin, matte, or varnish finish on baked scrap first. The full guide notes the finish route used for this build without treating one finish as universal.
Troubleshooting
These are the common places a build can wander. The public page names them so you know the guide covers them; the full kit guide walks the actual fix.
The guide shows the first action and the decision-tree fix for this issue.
Repurpose
Try the relief cutter for a brooch or pendant once the layered pair works.
Scale up and add a pin back after bake.
Punch a top hole before bake and hang from a chain.

Each one walks through a technique used in this piece, in full detail.
Graphic lips, eyes, mushrooms, and badge-like brooches are often easier to build as flat or gently domed pixel slabs. This guide covers crisp staircase edges, stacked layers, and ways to keep left and right pieces matched.
Your slab cracked at the edge, or your cane distorted because one color was softer than the rest. Condition until every color folds the same way, then do the fold test before you build the cane.
