Project Instructions
Your workspace:
Please make sure your work area is covered and you are not working on an unprotected surface. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Work ‘n Bake Clay 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.

Getting Started:
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 ¼" (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.
Mix 2/3 of a package of Blue and 2/3 of a package of White together to make a light blue clay.
Condition each color and make long snakes to fit into the Sculpey extruder.
Using the small circle disc extrude all of the colors of clay.
Place a small amount of Translucent Liquid Sculpey into a bowl and brush onto the frame as you go. Use your clay strings to make different size circles and place onto the frame. Cut off any excess clay with a craft knife and overlap the edges.
Fill in any gaps with small Blue triangles.
Bake the frame according to the directions above in Step 1. Paint the edges of the frame using your choice of acrylic paint to add a nice finished look.
