Step 1: 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® 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. 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.

Step 2
Marbleize the clay. Roll out a piece of Sea Glass clay. Grate a piece of Igloo clay into a small pile. Combine the Igloo pieces with the Sea Glass. Form into a small ball.

Step 3
Run the clay though the conditioning machine on a number 4 setting. Fold the clay and continue to run the clay through the machine until you have a marbleized look.

Step 4
Press the square ring into the clay to make an impression.

Step 5
Use the slicer to cut the square shape from the clay sheet. Fit the clay into the ring base. Smooth the edges with your fingers.

Step 6: 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 30 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.

Step 7
Allow to the clay and ring to cool. Pop the clay piece out and add a drop of glue to the ring base. Place the baked clay back into the ring and allow to dry. Add a drop of two of fragrance or essential oil to the clay area. Refresh as desired.
