Project Instructions

Step 1

Getting Started with Sculpey III®:

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 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

Flatten out hibiscus clay and use a circle cutter tool to cut two circles out.







Step 3

Roll out pieces of Berry, Spring Lilac and Teal clay for the color blocked earrings.



Step 4

Take equal pieces of Spring Lilac and form into a rounded triangle.



Step 5

Follow the same step with Teal but form it around Lilac.



Step 6

Follow the same step with Berry but form it around the previous Teal clay.



Step 7

Gently press the clay colors to make sure there are no gaps or open spaces. Bake according to the directions in Step 1 above.



Step 8

After the clay has cured and cooled down, you can attach the earring backs with your preferred adhesive.

If you wish to add a gloss to the earrings do so now.
