Project Instructions
    Getting Started with Liquid Sculpey:
Please make sure your work area is covered and you are not working on an unprotected surface. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Oven Safe Work Mat, wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Uncured Liquid Polymer Clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately. - Stir Liquid Sculpey® completely. Thin with Sculpey® Liquid Clay Softener as needed - Wash hands after use (we have found that baby wipes work best)

    Baking:
• It is important to use oven thermometer when you bake the liquids so that you can ensure your oven is at the correct temperature. • Do not microwave the liquids. They must be baked in a Preheated oven at 275 ºF (130 ºC) for liquid colors and 300 ºF (149 ºC) for Clear – Do not exceed baking temperatures. • If your piece is less than 1/4” bake for 15 minutes. For thicker pieces that are 1/4” or above bake for 30 minutes. • If your liquid project has become yellowed or discolored in the oven, when you remake it, tent it by placing either – folding an index card in half and placing your project under it or by using aluminum foil over your project.
Fill the Mandala mold with all three colors of liquids at one time. Squirt a small amount of Gold Liquid Sculpey® (LS) in the center of the medium sized mandala. Spread the Gold LS to the edge of the medium mandala being careful not to get any of the Gold in the other cavities. You can use your finger to spread the LS in a circular pattern so that you can keep it exactly where it’s intended.
Squeegee off excess by squeegeeing away from the other shapes in the mold.
Add White LS to just the large mandala shape and smear this around with your finger to make sure all the little areas are filled. Squeegee excess away.

Repeat these steps with the third mandala shape using Navy Metallic LS.
Bake the mold following the baking instructions for LS. When the mold is completely cool, gently flex it to release the molded shapes. Organize the shapes as you would like them for your necklace.
Connect the shapes together as shown with jump rings. Add the tassel at the bottom. String onto the chain with the clasp.
