Sculpey Premo™ Delicate Charm Bracelet

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 (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.

Step 2

Make a thin sheet of Ice Blue Pearl, about 1/16” thick and cut two pieces to 3/4” x 1.5”.

Step 3

Embed the eye pin in one of the pieces of clay with the eye barely sticking out of one end.

Step 4

Sandwich the eye pin in place with the second piece of clay.

Step 5

Carefully, trim the corners with the Clay Blade and smooth them with your fingertips to make rounded corners.

Step 6

Texture just one side of the clay with either coarse sandpaper or rubber stair tread.

Step 7

Place a layer of gold paint from the paint marker onto the texture stamp.

Step 8

Place the textured side of the clay rectangle back on the sandpaper of stair tread.
Push the stamp on top of the clay. Carefully push the stamp into the clay to impress it.

Step 9

Carefully remove the stamp from the clay.
The stamp can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol.

Step 10

Paint the edges of the clay piece with the paint marker.

Step 11

Bake the clay piece following the baking instructions for Sculpey Premo™.
Allow to cool completely before handling.
Use the wire cutters to trim the tail of the eye pin leaving a 3/8” tail.
Use the round nose pliers to curl an eye into the tail pin tightly to the clay.

Step 12

Paint a thin layer of Sculpey® Satin Glaze on the surface of the clay with a paintbrush.
Allow the glaze to dry completely.
Layout the assembly of the bracelet.
You can use wire cutters to cut the beaded chain between the glass beads.
Here I have 1/2 of the magnetic clasp, a 4 mm jump ring, two 3” strands of beaded chain, another 4 mm jump ring, the clay piece and then the exact same layout on the opposite side.

Step 13

Connect the clay piece to two pieces of crystal chain with 4 mm jump rings on both sides of the clay piece.

Step 14

Connect both crystal chains to the magnetic clasp with a 4 mm jump ring.

Step 15

Repeat the connection on the other side of the clay piece.
The bracelet can be easily worn with the magnetic clasp as shown.
