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:

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 15 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

Divide the 1 Pound (16 oz. Bar) into 24 equal pieces. Each 1 Pound bar will make 24 ornaments.

Condition and roll one piece into a ball.

Step 3

Flatten the ball into a patty with the roller. Make sure it is large enough to accommodate the rubber stamp.

Step 4

Smear a very thin layer of corn starch over the surface of the clay with your fingertips.

This will serve as a release between the clay and the stamp.

Step 5

Press the stamp image firmly into the clay.

Carefully lift the stamp from the clay.

Step 6

Use the pointed tool in the toolkit to press a hole at the top of your design for hanging.

Step 7

Squirt a small amount of paint onto scrap paper.

Daub the raised surface of the texture with paint on your fingertip.

Allow paint to dry completely.
