My Little Gang- Sculpey Creations by Sudi

I’ve been working with Sculpey lately, my new hobby, kind of out-of-charater since I am not one-bit-crafty but it’s been fun. Sculpey is colored clay that can be baked.

For all my friends -Erin and Noelle- in Colorado who want a Sculpey tutorial, here it is.

All suplies can be bought at your local craft store.

Sculpey comes in little 2 ounce blocks. You can buy them individually and pick your favorite colors or buy them in multi-packs which is cheaper and well worth it, IF you like all the colors in the set.

You will also need a set of basic plastic tools. Do not use kitchen tools.

    

Zip Lock Bags to put all your sculpey in by color. It keeps it neat and fresh.

If you want to polish your creations you can buy Matte or Glossy Lacquer.

To make pencil heads you will also need to buy cheap pencils at Target or Wal-Mart. I reccomend fun pencils as opposed to the regular yellow ones.

Also buy a small plastic container to put all your supplies in.

If you are making Christmas Ornaments you need the hooks, etc.

Sculpey is pretty hard so before you mold it you will need to soften it with your hands. You can either make your own creations, get ideas from Sculpey.com or buy Sculpey molds which ever you prefer.

Sculpey creations must be baked at 275 degrees for 30 minutes. Place a sheet of aluminun foil on cookie sheet and place creations on it. (not directly on cookie sheet since you use that for food).

Please remember never to eat snacks while you are “crafting”. When you are done, wash your hands thoroughly.

And now presenting Sudi’s creations…. “My Little Gang” (click to enlarge)
