Original Sculpey® Granite Textured Ancient-Look Pendant

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.

Roll out a sheet of Granite clay ¼” thick. Spritz your Dandelion texture sheet with water and then press onto your clay sheet firmly for a nice well defined texture.

Use your clay knife and cut out a rectangle shape from the texture sheet wherever the design pleases you. The pendant here is approximately 5/8” wide and 2” long.

Use your 5 in 1 tool and make a hole at the top. Smooth edges and sides with your finger.Bake according to package directions and allow to cool completely.

Mix a bit of Black and White paint to make a dark Granite color. Use your paintbrush and dry brush very lightly over the top of the indented design areas. Allow paint to dry completely. Attach the jump ring at the top and cut cord to desired length.
