Liquid Sculpey® Glittering Cabochon Earrings

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.

Remove the cap from the Translucent Turquoise Liquid Sculpey® (TTLS) and stir completely with one of the purple tools. Wipe the tool with paper towel to clean it. Replace the cap.

Squirt a small amount of TTLS into the bottom of the Cabochon Donut Shape but don’t fill all the way up. Tap the mold on the work surface to remove air bubbles.

Add little sprinkles of the gold mica flakes around one half of the TTLS in the mold.

Use one of the purple tools to very carefully stir the flakes into the TTLS. Keep all the flakes toward one half of the TTLS.

Back fill the mold shape with more TTLS. Tap the mold gently on the work surface once again to release air bubbles.

Bake the mold following the baking instructions for LS. When the mold is completely cool, gently flex it to release the cabochon shape. Repeat Steps 2-4 to make a second matching cabochon. When done, add ear wires and enjoy!
