Liquid Sculpey® Twinkle Star 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.

Fill the half- round mold about 1/3rd full. Tilt the mold to coat one side. Prop the mold up with a piece of cardboard.

Add Turquoise glitter with the flat end of the Sculpey Ball Stylus. Push the glitter down to the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes at 300F. Repeat with the next two layers, adding star & glitter here and there, baking between each layer. For the last color, add 2 chain links to the edges and bake them in.

Add Shine to both side and the edges with Sculpey Gloss Glaze.

Make a pilot hole in the center of the pendant at the bottom. Place eye screw. Hang charm with jump ring.

Attach wire to each side of the embedded links using crimp beads and crimp covers. String your choice of beads and add clasps.
