Project Instructions
    Getting Started with Liquid Sculpey®:
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 Liquid Polymer Clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately. - Stir Liquid Sculpey® completely. Thin with Sculpey® Liquid Clay Softener as needed - Wash hands after use (we have found that baby wipes work best)

    Baking:
  • It is important to use oven thermometer when you bake the liquids so that you can ensure your oven is at the correct temperature.
  • Do not microwave the liquids. They must be baked in a Preheated oven at 275 ºF (130 ºC) for liquid colors and 300 ºF (149 ºC) for Clear – Do not exceed baking temperatures.
  • If your piece is less than 1/4” bake for 15 minutes. For thicker pieces that are 1/4” or above bake for 30 minutes.
  • If your liquid project has become yellowed or discolored in the oven, when you remake it, tent it by placing either – folding an index card in half and placing your project under it or by using aluminum foil over your project.
Carefully fill the center stripe of the rainbow shape with Gold Liquid Sculpey® (LS) making sure the Gold does not go over the dividing line.
Fill the top stripe with Rose Gold LS. Make sure the LS completely surrounds the little post in the top stripe. You can move the LS around the post as needed with the Needle Tool.
Fill the inner stripe with Bronze LS. Gently tap the mold on the work surface to release air bubbles. Stubborn air bubbles can be easily popped with the tip of the Needle Tool.
Back fill the mold to level with Rose Gold LS. Tap again gently to release air bubbles.
Bake the mold following the baking instructions for Liquid Sculpey®. Allow the mold to cool completely before flexing it to release the rainbow shape.

Repeat Steps 2-5 to make a second matching rainbow shape.
Assemble the earrings as shown with flat nose pliers.
