Sculpey Bake Shop® Glow Hedge Hog

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 as metal, aluminum foil, an index card or the Sculpey® Oven Safe Work Mat at 275°F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per ¼" (6 mm) of 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 hedgehog you will need a body that is a cone shape from 1/2 bar of Glow. From 1/8 of the bar of Glow make four little teardrops for legs and two little balls for ears.

You will also need three little balls from Black for the eyes and the nose.

From Red, Green, and Blue Glow make lots of little cones shapes for the prickles.

Push the body shape down on your work surface with the pointed tip looking up at you. Tuck the feet in under the body. Add the nose to the tip of the face and the eyes on either side.

Start at the top of the forehead adding Red prickles.

Keep adding prickles all the way down the back to the bottom of the body.

Add a few more prickles around the front of the body.

Bake the little guy following the baking instructions for Sculpey Bake Shop® Glow. Allow to cool completely before handling.
