Sculpey Premo™ Floral Foil 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 clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately.

Start with clean hands, unwrap and knead clay until soft and smooth, or condition by running clay though a Pasta Machine. We recommend using a designated machine for clay purposes only. When working with multiple colors, clean hands with soap and water or baby wipes (we have found that baby wipes work best) before switching colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces firmly together. Wash hands after use.

Baking (also called Curing):

Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). After you are done creating; for best results bake/cure clay on an oven-proof surface such metal, aluminum foil, an index card or the Sculpey® Clay Mat at 275°F (130 °C) for 30 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm) thickness according to package directions. Oven safe glass or ceramic surfaces are also acceptable for baking/curing; however please note that the baking/curing times may take longer as the glass or ceramic surfaces take longer to heat up. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME.

Roll out a sheet of white clay wide enough to make two circle cutouts.

Squeeze a small amount of Translucent Liquid Sculpey across the sheet and spread with your fingers to make a sticky surface. Lay the stencil on top.

Take a sheet of foil and place it over the stencil (my foil sheets came with paper lining) and trace the stencil with your finger to make sure the foil adheres to all the details.

Gently remove the stencil to reveal the design. Use your acrylic roller to further secure the foil to the clay surface.

Cut out two circles and bake according to Step 1.

Drill one small hole at the top of each circle and glaze them with UV Resin.

Use the flat nose pliers to open the 8 mm jump rings and loop through the hole you created and close.

Repeat Step and add a 4 mm jump ring to each piece along with the shell topper earrings and close.
