Liquid Sculpey® Sea Glass & Sea Shells Necklace

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 lid from the Translucent Turquoise Liquid Sculpey® (TTLS). Stir the liquid completely with the knife or the blunt pointed tool. Replace the cap and wipe the tool clean with paper towel.

Fill the cavity of your choice in the Jewelry Mold with TTLS. Make sure to just fill the mold flush and not overflow. Tap the mold gently on the work surface to release air bubbles

Remove the lid from the Pearl LS. Stir the liquid completely with the knife or the blunt pointed tool. If the Pearl LS is very thick you can thin it slightly with just a drop of Liquid Clay Softener. To thin you would want to pour just enough of the LS out into a silicone mini cupcake liner. Add a drop of the softener and stir completely. That way you do not thin the entire contents of the bottle. After all, you may want the Pearl LS in its current thickness for future projects.

Be sure to replace the cap on the Pearl LS and clean the tool with paper towel. Fill the sand dollar and the seashell with Pearl LS as shown. You can use the little squeegee provided to remove excess if the mold is overflowing.

Bake both molds following the baking instructions for LS. When the molds are completely cool, gently flex to remove the pieces.

Poke a hole in the seashell with the needle tool to make way for the jump ring. Add jump rings to all three components and string them onto ball chain for instant beauty.
