Sculpey Premo™ and Sculpey Soufflé™ Framed Floral Pendant

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.

In this tutorial we are going to make the slab design right in place in the bezel. Fill the pendant with Ivory Premo™ so that it mounds up a little bit and makes a nice background in the bezel.

Use tiny bits of Burnt Umber Premo™ to make really thin branches directly on the Ivory background

Add little oval shaped Forest Green Premo™ leaves to the sides of the branches. I like leaving the tips of the branches open for a detail. Use the Blunt Point end tool to press a bit of texture into each leaf. This pressure also helps the leaves stick into place.

Make little flat circles of Berry Pearl Premo™ and add these to the design in sets of five for flowers.

Add little bits of Guava Soufflé™ to the center of each flower and texture these areas with the Blunt Point tool.

Add little Black Premo™ beads to the centers of the flowers.
Lighten some Guava Soufflé™ with an equal amount of Ivory Soufflé™ to make an Ivory Guava color. Add small Ivory Guava buds in empty spaces.
Add small Latte Soufflé™ buds in empty spaces.
Add small Berry Pearl Premo™ buds in empty spaces.

Bake the pendant following the baking instructions for Sculpey Soufflé™. Allow to cool completely and then add a chain.
