Four leaf earring cutters for polymer clay: olive, eucalyptus, ginkgo and a heart-shaped leaf.

Clay ~9 g Pro early access

Four leaves for botanical earrings, each with its jump ring hole punched at the stem end so it hangs like a leaf on a branch: a slim olive leaf (36 mm), a round eucalyptus leaf (26 mm), a ginkgo fan with its notch (30 mm wide) and a heart-shaped philodendron leaf (30 mm). Good for botanical and cottagecore jewellery, spring and autumn collections, wedding party gifts and plant lovers. The pieces come out 13 x 36 mm (olive leaf), 22 x 26 mm (eucalyptus leaf), 30 x 22 mm (ginkgo leaf) and 23 x 30 mm (heart leaf).

Made with our free cookie and clay cutter generator, not modelled by hand: we drew each shape at its size and uploaded it to the tool, with Cut detail into cutter switched on for the jump ring hole. The zip holds exactly what the tool gives you, one STL per cutter (a 0.8 mm blade, 14 mm tall, with a 4 mm rim to press on, printed rim down with no supports) plus each drawing as an SVG, so you can remake any of them at another size. Every cutter has a small tube inside that punches the jump ring hole in the same press, about 3.2 mm across with at least 1.6 mm of clay round it, so there is no drilling after baking and both earrings of a pair hang the same.

For polymer clay earrings: condition Sculpey Premo or Souffle, Fimo or Cernit, roll it 2 to 3 mm thick, dust the blade with cornstarch (or cut through cling film for soft, rounded edges), press straight down and lift. Bake the pieces on a tile as your clay's packet says, for most brands 110 to 130 °C (230 to 275 °F) for 15 to 30 minutes per 6 mm, then sand the edges, varnish or add UV resin if you like, and fit jump rings, ear wires or glued posts.

The same cutters cut air-dry clay, precious metal clay, fondant and gum paste, and dough for tiny cookies, but once a cutter has touched polymer clay keep it for clay: print a second set for anything you eat.

Press the veins in after cutting: drag the back of a craft knife lightly from the hole to the tip for a midrib, then add a few side veins, or press a real leaf onto the clay before cutting for a natural texture.

What you need

7
  • Polymer clay: Sculpey Premo or Souffle, Fimo, Cernit or any oven-bake brand
  • An acrylic roller or a pasta machine, and a ceramic tile or baking paper to work on
  • Cornstarch or cling film so the pieces release cleanly
  • A pin or a paper clip to push the clay plug out of the hole punch
  • Findings: 6 to 8 mm jump rings, ear wires or flat pad posts, and jewellery glue for posts
  • Wet sandpaper (400 to 1000 grit) and a varnish or UV resin for the finish, if you like
  • About 9 g of PLA or PETG for all four cutters

How to use it

7
  1. Print each file as exported: the rim flat on the bed, the blade pointing up, no supports.

  2. Condition the clay until it is soft and roll it 2 to 3 mm thick on a tile or baking paper.

  3. Dust the blade with cornstarch, or lay cling film over the clay for rounded edges.

  4. Press the cutter straight down with a fingertip on the rim, wiggle it a little, and lift.

  5. Push the clay plug out of the hole punch with a pin before the next cut.

  6. Bake the pieces on the tile as your clay's packet says (most brands 110 to 130 °C, 15 to 30 minutes), never the cutter.

  7. Let them cool, sand the edges, varnish if you like, and add jump rings and ear wires or glued posts.

Questions about this design

How do I add veins to the leaf earrings from the botanical cutter set?

Right after cutting, while the clay is soft, press a line from the stem to the tip with the back of a blade or a needle tool, then a few side veins angled toward the tip. For a natural texture, press a real leaf onto the slab before you cut.

Which clay colours look best with the botanical leaf earring cutters?

Sage, olive and moss greens, translucent clay mixed with a little green for a glass-like leaf, and autumn tones of ochre and rust. A thin line of gold leaf pressed along the midrib before baking makes the leaves look finished.

Will the tip of the olive leaf from the botanical set break off?

The olive leaf comes to a soft point, and at 2.5 to 3 mm thick a baked tip of polymer clay flexes rather than snaps. Sand it gently after baking rather than before, and store the earrings flat.

How long do I bake earrings made with the leaf earring cutter set?

Follow your clay's packet, since brands differ: Sculpey Premo bakes at 130 °C (275 °F), Fimo and Cernit at 110 °C (230 °F), for about 30 minutes per 6 mm of thickness, and thin 2 to 3 mm earrings still get the full minimum time. Use an oven thermometer, bake on a tile, and never bake the cutter.

Can I make the leaf earring cutter set in other sizes?

Yes. Every drawing is in the zip as an SVG: upload one to the free cookie and clay cutter generator, set the Cutter size slider (8 to 120 mm) and switch on Cut detail into cutter to keep the hole punch. The hole scales with the drawing, so start from the drawing closest to the size you want.
