Easter Eggs
Design by Amy Koranek - Project courtesy of sculpey.com 
Some Basic Information: Sculpey III, Bake & Bend, and Amazing Eraser Clay should be conditioned before using. To condition, roll and squeeze each color in your hands until the clay becomes soft and pliable and an even consistency. It's important to bake projects for the right amount of time and at the right temperature. Once your project is complete, follow these baking instructions for each type of clay: - Sculpey III bakes in your home oven for 15 minutes at 275 Degrees F (130 Degrees C). - Bake & Bend bakes in your home oven for 20 minutes at 285 Degrees F (130 Degrees C). - Amazing Eraser Clay bakes in your home oven for 10 minutes at 250 Degrees F (130 Degrees C). Line your baking sheets with aluminum foil or index cards when using them to cure (bake) polymer clay projects. Always assist children during the baking process and never touch a clay project until it is completely cool. You should use an oven thermometer to make sure the oven temperature is accurate. Overheating polymer clay can cause it to become discolored. In the case of Amazing Eraser Clay, the eraser may not erase well if it's over baked. Good working surfaces include a large piece of glass, wax paper, marble, or an old baking sheet. It is important that you not place unbaked polymer clay on any good furniture surface. Do not use everyday cooking utensils with clay if you are going to continue using them for preparing food. Shapes: This project can be made from the following shapes: Ball - Take a lump of clay and roll it in your palms until it's smooth.
Teardrop - Start with a ball of clay and then taper it on one end with your fingers.
Coil - Roll a lump of clay until it¹s long and skinny.
What you'll need: 1. From Grape, Orange, and Mango, remove 1/4 of each bar and set these aside. Shape the remaining large pieces of Grape, Orange, and Mango into teardrops. Flatten the teardrops. 2. Decorate the Grape egg with a Lime wavy coil in the middle. Add a Pink stripe across the top and a Blue stripe across the bottom. Add Blue teardrops at the top of the egg and Orange teardrops at the bottom of the egg. Add Mango dots on either side of the Lime coil. 3. Decorate the Orange egg with a Grape wavy coil in the middle. Add a Blue stripe across the top and a Mango stripe across the bottom. Add Pink teardrops at the top of the egg and Green teardrops at the bottom of the egg. Add Mango dots on either side of the Grape coil. 4. Decorate the Mango egg with a Pink wavy coil in the middle. Add a Blue stripe across the top and a Lime stripe across the bottom. Add Orange teardrops at the top of the egg and Blue teardrops at the bottom of the egg. Add Orange dots on either side of the Pink coil. 5. Bake the eraser eggs in your home oven at 250 for 10 minutes. Only handle the eraser eggs when they are completely cool. |
