Liquid Sculpey® Confetti Clear Bar 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.

Stir Liquid Sculpey Confetti Clear until it is well mixed. Pour into the thin rectangle shape of the Sculpey 3D Jewelry Mold. Place eye screw on the rod that comes with the mold. Center the screw over the bar shape and snap it into the guides on the mold. Bake for 25 minutes at 300F. Repeat.

Roll Premo Black on the second thickest setting of your clay machine. Cut 4 round shapes, using the round cutter from the cutter set.

Place post findings on 2 of the circles. Press in lightly. Pierce below the findings. Smooth the second set of round shapes over the post findings.

Place the assembled black pieces peg side down onto a piece of scrap clay with parchment over it.

Add Confetti Clear on the black circles. Bake for 30 minutes at 300F.

Pierce through the second layer of baked clay. Add jump rings and connect the tops to the bars with jump rings. How cute!
