Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces.  Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly.  Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275 °F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per 1/4” (6 mm) thickness.  For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use.  Baking should be completed by an adult.

Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

Using the Acrylic Roller, roll out a sheet of Black clay.  Using the Super Slicer cut out a rectangle that is 10 1/2" L x 3” W.  Using knife tool, trace the bottom of a cup approximately 1/2”  from top of door hanger to create a cutout to hang on door knob.

Using Acrylic Roller make a sheet of Glow-in-the-Dark clay.  Using the star shape from the Mini Cutter Set cut out 7 stars.
