Materials:
- Eraser Clay Assortment
Package
- Some household tools
you might want to use for these projects: toothpick or large needle,
paring knife, cookie cutters, old rolling pin or heavy glass jar
Directions:
All Amazing Eraser Clay
should be conditioned before use. Just knead the clay in your hands
until soft and of even consistency. Once your project is complete,
bake in your home oven at 250 for 10 minutes. Over baking will cause
the erasers to not erase very well. Make sure your oven is the right
temperature by checking it with an oven thermometer. Allow the erasers
to cool completely before handling them.
If you want to turn your
eraser into a pencil topper the eraser needs to be made thick enough
to cover the end of a pencil. Before baking, you can gently push the
eraser onto a pencil to make a hole in it. Then gently slide the eraser
off and bake.
