Supplies:
 Glazed tile – 4 ¼”x 4 ¼” used

- Liquid Sculpey

Directions:
- Wipe tile to remove
any dust from surface. Set aside.
- Condition one half of 2 oz block of Premo Clay (amount used will
vary depending on design, layering and tile size used)
- Once softened,
form oblong ball and roughly flatten with fingers, then roll
with brayer to a 1/8” thickness. (I roll on plastic
side of freezer paper and use as work surface for easy clean
up)
- Lay clay
lightly onto tile to determine a desired pattern, leaving space
open on tile for “dry erase messages”.
- Once you have determined area to be covered and direction you want
stamped pattern to be, remove clay and stamp. (You may stamp clay
once it is already on tile, or before placing clay on tile, depending
on design and image.)
- Applying a thin layer of Liquid Sculpey -spread thinly with finger
over tile, where clay will be placed, and on edges- will provide
the needed adhesive once baked.
-
Edges need to be pressed firmly so you may need to re-stamp). If
using light colored clay may wish to use a colored ink to outline
image detail. (Stampin’ Up! ® Craft ink pads work well – 49
colors of pigment ink that will set when heated)
- Lay stamped clay onto tile and adhere edges of clay to sides of tile
by pressing firmly and removing excess clay as you fold it over from
front.
- If adding a layered look with another piece of clay, stamped design
must be stamped on that clay before placing on tile over 1st layer
(use a small amount of Liquid Sculpey where layers of clay overlap).
- Be creative and roll a piece of foil around barrel of dry erase marker,
remove from marker and use to form clay where you want marker to
be stored on tile. (Foil will hold the clay form while baking.)
-
Finish any uncovered edges of tile by firmly pressing and overlapping
small amounts of clay with fingers – roll lightly with brayer
to smooth and stamp if desired.
- Apply Pearl Ex powders with brush.
- Bake according to directions. For Premo this is 275 degrees
F for 30 minutes per ¼” of thickness. Always use
an oven thermometer to test the accuracy of whatever oven you
are using
be it a household oven or a toaster oven. Remove and cool.
-
Cut coordinating color of cardstock to tile size and apply to back
of finished tile with E6000 glue. After dry, glue (4) – ¾” button
magnets on each corner. Allow glue to set thoroughly. Can be used
on refrigerator, locker, file cabinet, etc…… Hint:
If using larger tile you can use wire display stand or hang with
proper
hardware to wall.
- Optional: Apply Sculpey Glaze over baked clay and allow to dry.
Wash hands thoroughly.
Enjoy! Use Dry Erase (white board) marker to write message – wipe off
with
dry cloth/paper towel.
