Sculpey Premo™ Moon Coin Pendant

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

Roll 18K Gold Premo! to about 1/8” thickness. Place plastic wrap over clay sheet and use largest of the 3 round cutters to cut a disc. (Plastic wrap creates rounded, smooth edges.)

Step 3

Place plastic wrap back over the clay disc. Center middle sized cutter and press gently just to create an indented ring in the disc.

Step 4

Roll Olive Premo! to about 1/8” thickness. Place course sponge over clay sheet and press to transfer the texture to the clay.

Step 5

Place plastic wrap over textured clay sheet and use smallest round cutter to cut disc. Place it, centered, on the gold disc.

Step 6

Apply a touch of Clay Adhesive to the back of the moon charm and gently press into center of textured olive disc. Use the Etch n’ Pearl tool to make a hole at the top large enough for the chain you have chosen. Bake according to above instructions. Let cool.

Step 7

Fold chain in half and carefully push through the hole, then bring the ends through the loop. Add closure. (Alternately, you can put a large jump ring through the pendant hole and thread chain through the jump ring.)
