Souffle Marbleized Essential Oil Necklaces and Pendants
Create marbleized pendants with Souffle clay and add a drop or two of essential or fragrance oil to create a scented pendant. The marbleizing technique is easy to do so this project is great for beginners too. We used a cheese grater to create the marble look fast.

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
Use the large teardrop cutter to create a teardrop pendant shape.
Step 5
Lift the pendant from your work surface with a slicer and use a pointer tool to poke a hole in the clay near the top of the teardrop. The hole should be large enough for a jump-ring to go through.
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
Once the pendant is cooled, add a jump-ring through the hole. Thread a leather cord through the jump-ring. Add 3 wood beads to each side of the pendant.
Step 8
Tie a knot in the end of the leather cord.
Step 9
Add a drop of two of fragrance or essential oil to the clay area. Refresh as desired.
