Sculpey Premo™ Lips & Lipstick Earrings

Step 1

Getting Started:

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 clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately.

Start with clean hands, unwrap and knead clay until soft and smooth, or condition by running clay though a Pasta Machine. We recommend using a designated machine for clay purposes only. When working with multiple colors, clean hands with soap and water or baby wipes (we have found that baby wipes work best) before switching colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces firmly together. Wash hands after use.

Baking (also called Curing):

Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). After you are done creating; for best results bake/cure clay on an oven-proof surface such metal, aluminum foil, an index card or the Sculpey® Clay Mat at 275°F (130 °C) for 30 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm) thickness according to package directions. Oven safe glass or ceramic surfaces are also acceptable for baking/curing; however please note that the baking/curing times may take longer as the glass or ceramic surfaces take longer to heat up. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME.

Step 2

Make two little teardrops and a log shape that is tapered on both ends from Premo™ Blush .

Step 3

Push the lobes of the teardrops together to form a top lip.
Bend the bottom lip into shape as shown.

Step 4

Push the pieces all together and shape the mouth as you like.

Step 5

Poke a hole in one corner of the lips with the Blunt Point Tool.

Step 6

From Blush Premo™, roll a 3/8” thick rope and cut the tip at an angle like the tip of a lipstick.

Step 7

Mix 2 parts Turquoise to 1-part White to make Light Teal.

Step 8

Slice the end of the lipstick off square.
Make a little log from Light Teal that is the same diameter as the lipstick.

Step 9

Push the Light Teal tube onto the bottom of the lipstick.
Use the Roller to make a little flat strip of Light Teal that is long enough to go around the tube.

Step 10

Wrap the little strip around the bottom of the tube and trim the end. Smooth the seam with fingertips.
Add tiny White dots to the tube as you like.

Step 11

Carefully poke a hole through the tip of the lipstick with the Blunt Point Tool to add the earring hardware after baking.

Step 12

Bake the Lips and the Lipstick following the baking instructions for Sculpey Premo™.
Allow to cool completely before handling.
Lay out the earrings for assembly.
I’m using a smaller jump ring for the lipstick and a larger jump ring for the lips because the lips were thicker.

Step 13

Use flat nose pliers to assemble the earrings as shown.
