I feel like this is perfect not only for lip gloss but as an accessory on bags, purses, and bookbags! Artists could customize their own accessories or even switch the colors out to match their blinged out Stanley Cups!

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 (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

Start by creating some beads using hibiscus clay. You can use a pointed tool to create
a hole in the middle.



Step 3

Follow the same step but create heart shapes with the clay and use the pointed tool to
make a hole in the middle. Note: the edge of the pointed tool can help create the top of the heart!



Step 4

Create a long terrazzo bead by combining all colors together but not blending/ mixing
them.



Step 5

This is how the clay should look combined.



Step 6

Follow the same steps to create a bead (or 2!) with the terrazzo mix of clay.



Step 7

You can also use some of the hibiscus clay to create a butterfly that'll be a charm on the
keychain. Make sure you create a hole large enough so it can attach to the keychain. Bake/cure according to the directions in Step 1 above.



Step 8

OPTIONAL: After the clay cools down, you can decorate your clay with paint as shown to create a marble look.



Step 9

Grab your keychain parts and string material so you can begin assembling your keychain.



Step 10

Begin by tying a knot on the keychain clay.



Step 11

Begin adding your beads after the knot is firmly tied.

Step 12

After all clay beads are on, firmly tie a knot at the bottom so the beads stay.



Step 13

Cut off the extra string and get ready to assemble the butterfly charm.



Step 14

Add the keychain charm loop into the butterfly.



Step 15

Add the butterfly charm onto the open loop of the keychain.

Step 16

You can add “Gloss Glaze” to your beads and charm for a glossy look if you wish.
