Project Instructions

GETTING STARTED

Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly. Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275°F (130°C) for 15 minutes per ¼" (6 mm) thickness. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use. Baking should be completed by an adult.

Begin by preheating oven to 275°F (130°C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

For best results, condition all clay by running it through the Clay Conditioning Machine several times on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

Step 1 Remove split ring from key chain. Make a ¾" ball of Wasabi clay and press into oval finding. Smooth the surface. Make ½" balls of Wasabi, Orange and 18K Gold clay.

Step 2 Assemble clay extruder with the large spaghetti disk (several large holes in the same disk). Add balls to barrel, alternating colors, using plunger to tamp down each color before adding the next. Fill the barrel ½ full. Extrude strings and lay out on work surface.

Step 3 Press strings on pendant in swirls and wavy lines. Fill in with small clay balls. When surface is covered, add Purple Pearl accents. Trim edges.

Step 4 Bake as directed above. Allow to cool completely before stringing on your cord or chain.
