Pinwheel Eraser Canes
By Amy Koranek

Any of the canes we have made with Sculpey III can be made with Amazing Eraser Clay as well. The techniques are just the same and when you're done, you've got your own one-of-a-kind erasers. For this project we'll make a Pinwheel Cane with six sides instead of four.

What you'll need:

  • 1 oz. each of three colors of Amazing Eraser Clay - I used White, Yellow, and Orange
  • Sculpey Super Slicer cutting blade

2. Press all six sides into the middle. Lay the cane down and press down on the top side. Turn the cane 1/6 turn and press again. Continue turning and pressing until you've pressed all the sides inward. Now you can gently roll the cane to smooth the outsides and reduce it to the desired diameter.

3. Because Amazing Eraser Clay is much softer than Sculpey III it may be harder to slice. There are a couple of things that you can do with Eraser Clay to make it easier to slice but these techniques do not work with any other polymer clays.

Bake - Trim the ends of the cane and then bake the whole thing. Amazing Eraser Clay bakes at 250 for 10 minutes. Slice the erasers apart after the cane is baked.

Freeze - Freeze the whole cane and then slice it. Bake the slices at 250 for 10 minutes.

Please note that Amazing Eraser Clay bakes at 250 for only 10 minutes. Over-baking it will cause it to not work well as an eraser.
