If you smear it with vaseline and put it in a ziploc bag it softens back up in about 24 hours. this also work on fimo clay which is just a hard clay but has so many beautiful colors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-40193289412065500972012-10-15T18:29:30.849-07:002012-10-15T18:29:30.849-07:00I just made my first bracelets today (meh, need pr...I just made my first bracelets today (meh, need practice), and ran across some interesting safety guidelines on working with PC...after the fact, of course.

Before you place your clay bracelet in the oven, place the other bracelet on top of the clay one and make sure it matches up size wise. Hope that helps :)Lindsay @ Delighted Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463953700042251703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-35972891033412991542012-04-03T06:49:46.633-07:002012-04-03T06:49:46.633-07:00Ok my friend I have a question!

How do you make them large enough that they will fit you, but not too large that they'll slip off? Or do you just wait 24 hours and then put it on instead of the 2 hours that we waited and then they broke!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749821450283856941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-54762782231111923902012-04-03T06:24:41.015-07:002012-04-03T06:24:41.015-07:00I just bought some clay - can't wait for the d...I just bought some clay - can't wait for the diy.
