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 30 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

Roll out a sheet of White Premo™ approximately 1/8” thick using the Acrylic Clay Roller. Make sure you have a sheet that is large enough to accommodate two of the shaped cutters.

Cut out two of the shapes.

Step 3

Trace around the outside of the shaped cutter onto the transfer sheet.

Step 4

Cut out the shapes from the transfer sheet.

Step 5

Burnish the transfer shapes face down on the clay pieces. Once they are stuck, you can also roll over them with the roller to make sure they are really sealed to the
clay.

Step 6

Wet a sponge and really wet the paper backing of the transfers. Make sure it is
thoroughly wet. You can dab the wet areas with the sponge and when the transfer
starts to slide, it is time to release it.

Step 7

Carefully peel the transfer paper away from the clay.

Allow the clay to dry and then you can cut out the centers with a smaller teardrop
cutter like the 3/4” size.

Step 8

Bake the clay pieces following the baking instructions for Premo™ Sculpey.

Allow to cool completely before handling.

Here is the layout for the earrings.

Step 9

Use flat nose pliers to open and close the jump rings to assemble the earrings as shown.
