Sculpey Premo™ Mod Slab Terrazzo Earrings

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Roll a small slab of Gray Granite on a middle thickness setting.

Step 3

Take bits of White, Light Pink, Copper, Citron, and Gray Granite and place randomly across the slab and slightly layer upon each color. Repeat this step for the other side of the slab.

Step 4

Roll the slab through the clay machine to flatten the design on a medium/wide setting.

Step 5

Dip the clay cutters into cornstarch and cut out 4 pieces in total onto the slab. *Cornstarch helps the clay to not stick to the cutters*.

Step 6

Make 4 holes into the pieces with your needle tool to make them into earrings as shown. Bake according to Step 1.

Step 7

Take the two top pieces of the design and super glue the posts to the back.

Step 8

Open the jump rings with your pliers and attach, repeat this step with the next pair of earrings. Close the jump rings with the pliers.
