premo! Glamorous Extruded Ring March Craft Month
You’ll feel like an Egyptian princess when you wear this fabulous ring. Rich colors imitate jewels and a sprinkling of crystals adds just the right sparkle.
Getting Started
Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly. Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275 °F (130 °C) for 30 minutes per ¼" (6 mm) thickness. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use. Baking should be completed by an adult.
Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

Additional Resources
Condition about ¼ package of 18K Gold clay until it is warm and soft. Insert into the clay extruder and press the plunger until several feet of clay “string” are extruded. Don’t allow the clay string to touch itself.
Use the Clay Conditioning Machine on a #3 setting and make a sheet of the Ultramarine Blue clay. Lay the sheet on a smooth tile or glass that it will tack lightly to. Smooth a piece of the plastic wrap over the surface of the clay. Press the petal cutter into the clay through the plastic wrap. This will give the cut pieces a nice rounded edge. Peel away the plastic wrap.
Begin by wrapping the gold clay around a petal shape for the center. Add loops to each end and both sides. Overlap the loops, pressing lightly at the joints to adhere the clay to itself.
Mix some Fuschsia and Peacock pearl together.
Make tiny 1/16” balls of (8) Fuchsia, (4) Bright Green Pearl, (4) new color mixture from Step 4. Add these around the edges of the petal clay piece.
Press 96 crystals into the surface of the strings of gold clay at regular spacing until all the gold is covered.
Carefully place the ring on a curved surface that can be used as a form in the oven (metal such as a pop can or a large wooden dowel or a cardboard tube).
Bake according to the directions above.
Attach the ring to the ring finding with clear fast drying glue
