Garnet, Rose Gold & Black Cabochon Stretch Bracelet

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.

Create a bezel with Sculpey Liquid Black using the medium round shape in the Sculpey Bezel Mold.

In the medium round shape in the Sculpey Cabochon Mold, squeeze a wide band of Rose Gold Liquid Clay along one side. Drag a toothpick through it to make an interesting design. Add a thinner line of Black Liquid Clay as accent. Fill the mold with Garnet Metallic. Bake for 30 minutes at 300F.

Glue the cabochon into the bezel. Allow to dry. Add two eye screws on each side of the cabochon.

Pre-stretch your elastic cord. Tie 10” piece on 2 of the eye screws, using a surgeon’s knot.

Tip: I always use small clamps; and they make jewelry projects much easier.

Add your chosen beads. I selected elongated beads, then I brought both pieces of stretch cord together and added matte round beads and faceted rondelles.

When the bracelet is just the size you want. Tie off the ends on the opposite side. I added crimp beads over the knots for a finished look.
