Bake Shop™ Space Adventure Rocket Ship

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:

Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). After you are done creating; for best results bake clay on an oven-proof surface such metal, aluminum foil, an index card or the Sculpey® Clay Mat at 275°F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm) thickness according to package directions. Oven safe glass or ceramic surfaces are also acceptable for baking; however please note that the baking 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.

For the spaceship you will need a large Blue teardrop from 1/2 bar of Blue. A Black disk from 1/8 bar of Black. A Yellow disk from 1/8 bar of Yellow. Make two little Red triangles and two little Black triangles. Also make two flat Red disks and smaller flat Glow disks.

Assemble the parts as shown. Cut the chenille stem into three 2” pieces. Push these into the base of the space ship.

Bake the spaceship according to Step 1 above. When completely cool, you can roll up the orange stems on the Space Ship to look like jet fire.
