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

Cut a piece of blue cardstock to fit the frame, using the original paper insert as a guide. Place it inside the frame and close.

Step 3

Condition a whole block of Voltage Blue Metallic through the clay conditioning machine, making sure to remove any air bubbles. Roll the clay into a ball, then flatten it into a thick circular disc using an acrylic roller.

Step 4

Use the Sculpey Tools Clay Starter Set blunt tool to drag the top center inward and shape the bottom to form an elongated heart, following the reference photo.

Step 5

Take one bar each of Antique Gold and Pearl clay. Condition each, roll into a snake, then cut several slices of each color with the clay blade and roll into small balls.


Step 6

Place the balls along the edges of the heart starting with Pearl and alternating with gold until the edges are filled.

Bake/Cure as directed in Step 1 above. Allow to cool.

Step 7


Optional: Glaze the heart on both sides and allow it to dry completely.

Step 8

Apply superglue to the back of the heart and position it in the center of the frame glass. Let it dry at least 24 hours before hanging the frame.
