Liquid Sculpey® Charm Bracelet

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 Liquid Polymer Clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately. - Stir Liquid Sculpey® completely. Thin with Sculpey® Liquid Clay Softener as needed - Wash hands after use (we have found that baby wipes work best)

Baking:

• It is important to use oven thermometer when you bake the liquids so that you can ensure your oven is at the correct temperature. • Do not microwave the liquids. They must be baked in a Preheated oven at 275 ºF (130 ºC) for liquid colors and 300 ºF (149 ºC) for Clear – Do not exceed baking temperatures. • If your piece is less than 1/4” bake for 15 minutes. For thicker pieces that are 1/4” or above bake for 30 minutes. • If your liquid project has become yellowed or discolored in the oven, when you remake it, tent it by placing either – folding an index card in half and placing your project under it or by using aluminum foil over your project.

Set up your material: the liquid clay, your jewelry mold and a skewer. You want to have your paper towels ready as well. Fill the irregular triangle shapes half way up with clear liquid clay. Add one or two drops of blue on top. Use your needle tool to drag some blue out of the drop. It's a little bit like marbling.

Cure the clay at 300 ºF (149 ºC) for 15 minutes. Let it cool and do not take the clay out of the mold.

Fill the second half of the mold with clear liquid, nearly filling it up all the way. Add another drop of blue clay. You might want to mix some Blue with either White or Black liquid clay to have lighter or darker Blue now. Drag again some of the blue drop out of the drop shape with the needle tool. Don’t place the drops on top of each other! You want to see both when all of the clay is cured. Cure the clay at 300 ºF (149 ºC) for 15 minutes. Let it cool.

Sometimes you have little spikes coming out of your shape when the drops where coming out of the mold shape. You can cut those off with your scissor to have a neat shape.

Repeat the first and second step until you have enough triangular shapes to fill your charm bracelet with.Now assemble your charm bracelet with jump rings attached at the top of the clay shapes.
