Premo Sculpey® Classic Gift Tag

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:

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 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; 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.

Use the Acrylic Clay Roller to flatten 1/2 bar of conditioned White Premo into a little sheet. The sheet should be 1/8” or thinner.

For the speckle pattern we will use about 1/16 bar of each White Gold Glitter, Yellow Gold Glitter, and Twinkle Twinkle. To create the speckles, pinch little random bits of White Gold Glitter from the edge of the bar and press them onto the White sheet. The more random the sizes and shapes are, the better it will look.

Next pinch off bits of Yellow Gold Glitter from the edge of the bar and press them randomly onto the White sheet.

Next pinch off bits of Twinkle Twinkle and add those to the sheet.

Roll over the sheet with the Acrylic Clay Roller to help the bits imbed into the clay and be level on the surface.

Trim the basic shape of the tag out by cutting a 3” x 2” rectangle.

Use the Super Slicer to clip the two corners on one of the short ends.

Push the end of a plastic straw into the clay cutting out a neat hole.

Bake the tag following the baking instructions for Premo. When it is completely cool, add the ribbon and trim the ends.
