Project Instructions

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 clay on an oven-proof surface such as metal, aluminum foil, an index card or the Sculpey® Oven Safe Work Mat at 275°F (130 °C) for 30 minutes per ¼" (6 mm) of thickness according to package directions. Oven safe glass or ceramic surfaces are also acceptable for baking; however please note that the baking
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 1/16 bar each Citron and Jade into a little rope. Twist the two ropes together.

Step 3

Fold the rope in half and twist some more to make more stripes.

Step 4

Fold the rope in half again and twist some more to make even more stripes.

Step 5

Press the striped rope along the bottom of the wreath. Make sure the clay gets into the little crevices and cracks so that when the clay is baked it will be stuck to the wreath.

Step 6

Break a toothpick in half and stick it into the center area of the clay.

Step 7

Use the Blunt Point Tool to texture the Citron/Jade clay so it look like moss.

Step 8

From a small amount of Almond Rose form a cone for the mushroom stem. Press the stem down on top of the toothpick. Make sure it connects to the clay in the wreath well.

Step 9

From a little more Almond Rose, make a flat disk for the bottom side of the mushroom top. From a small amount of Cherry Pie make a domed top.

Step 10

Press the bottom flat dish to the domed top.

Step 11

Use the Knife Tool to add texture lines to the bottom of the mushroom cap.

Step 12

Push the mushroom cap onto the mushroom stem. Add pinches of
Igloo to the cap for spots.

Bake the wreath following the baking instructions for Sculpey Soufflé™. Allow to cool completely before handling.

Add a piece of twine for the hanger.
