Liquid Sculpey® Navy Metallic Photo Frame

Getting Started with Liquid Sculpey:

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.

Squeeze Liquid Sculpey Navy Metallic into a silicon mold. I used a Wilton fondant mold called “Trellis”. Make as many motifs as you like by baking each mold-full for 15 minutes at 275 degrees.

Paint the frame with an even coat of Liquid Sculpey Pearl. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to become slightly tacky.

Place the baked motifs in any pattern you like. Bake for 15 minutes at 275 degrees. Cool.

Place tape around the outside and inside of the frame. Add Liquid Sculpey Pearl evenly between the motifs. Bake for 30 minutes at 275 degrees. Cool.

Remove tape and trim around the edges with a craft knife. If there’s any sticky residue from the tape, remove it with alcohol or acetone.
