Liquid Sculpey® Embellished Dream Catcher Notebook

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.

As directed on package individually stir Black and Silver Liquid Clay. (I use a Starbucks”s green plastic stopper – works perfectly). In a small container mix Silver and Black Liquid Clay. Carefully fill the dream catcher and the small feather using your stir tool to scoop and fill the mold. Use the small scraper tool that comes with the mold to clean any excess clay from the top of the mold. Bake according to the directions in Step 1 above. Repeat to create 6 of the small feathers.

When feathers and dream catchers are completely cool embellish with Wink of Stella Brush Pen. Set aside.

Select your background piece of paper, lay notebook on the reverse side of the paper, as shown and trace around to edge of the notebook. Do the same for the back of the book. Trim the paper using a scissor or an Exacto knife and metal ruler.

Attach the paper to the front and back of the notebook using the tape runner or glue. Go around the edges with the gold pen.

Optional - ink around all of the paper edges using Tim Holts Distress Oxide Ink, Frayed Burlap color

Create the rest of the paper layout to your liking, including an inspirational saying. To cut out the circles I used a large circle template and scissor. Attach paper using the tape runner or glue

Attach the feathers and dream catcher using Strong White Craft Glue, as pictured in the finished notebook photo. Allow to dry.

Using a mini composition notebook create a companion piece using the same paper pack and a Large Sculpey Liquid Clay feather created from the Boho Chic mold.
