Sculpey Bake ’n Bend Snake

Getting Started:Polymer clay may stain. CLAY MAY DAMAGE UNPROTECTED FURNITURE OR FINISHED SURFACES. DO NOT USE polymer clay on unprotected surfaces. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Work ‘n Bake Clay Mat, wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Start with clean hands and work surface area. 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 Conditioning Machine for several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

Shape a long Green rope that’s fat on one end and tapered on the other. Bend it into a snake shape

Flatten a long thin rope of Blue and layer it on top of the Green snake body.

Add Yellow dots to the snake’s body. Add Green bulgy eyes, Yellow iris, and Black pupils. Cut a mouth in and add a Red tongue. Position the snake as you like. With Bake ’n Bend, you can flex and bend your finished snake but he will always want to go back to his resting position. Bake at 275 for 20 minutes
