Roll small amount of red, blue and white clay to about 1/8" thick. 

Use star cutter from Mini Geo set to cut several stars. You will need 6 white, 2 blue and 2 red for these earrings.  I cut extra for future projects.

Use fine point tool from kit to create hole in the top of each star for jump rings.  Apply silver leafing pen to 4 white stars.  Apply Smooch Glitz to remaining red, white and blue stars.  Let dry.  Repeat on opposite side.  Let dry. 

Let stars dry 24 hours.  Add jump rings to each star.  Add chain to earring wire. Skipping the first link, and starting on the second, attach stars in desired pattern in descending links of silver chain (chain should have 6 links total.)
