Polymer Clay Tutorial How to do the Grouting Technique A Versatile Surface Finish Method
This video shows a short tutorial on the grouting technique that I use for the back sides of some of my polymer clay jewelry. This surface finish is very versatile and could be used as a cover-up if ever needed.
The beginning slab is Premo translucent mixed with 2 holographic powders (Rose Gold, Dark Red) and 1 glitter (Bronze). After mixing in powders, the clay is rolled to a #4 on my Atlas 150.
These are the same 3 powders used in the video to coat the sides in order to create a smooth finish and maintain the look and feel of a tile.
The blue "grout" is thin, much like syrup. The side coating is much thicker with a higher ratio of additive to liquid clay and is more like a loose paste.
You must really get a good press into the clay from the texture sheet, in order to make wells deep enough to hold your grout and keep parts of your clay exposed above the grout, in order to maintain integrity of the underlying design.
The black rubberized make-up sponge is used as an anchor, holding the piece in place so it can be swiped across firmly to remove excess grout.
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know in the comments, and thanks for watching. 😊

could I do the same technique with liquid polymer clay?
Lovely. Good technique but to be candid way too consuming if u are making item to sell. No Ome would pay u enough for your time & skill. There are easier ways to achieve same effect!!! Onlybway u could upgrade is by adding precious metal bail but even then sn uphill quest
Thank you for the tips and tricks! 🙏💗
@@Pamming-now Thank you for watching 🥰
The work is beautiful! I have a question: why you choose translusent backing? What is the benefit of it? Doesn't do another backing the same work?
I picked translucent because it's what I had that was light colored. I would've used white but didn't have it. Lighter backgrounds affect the brightness of the top layer. However, you can use any clay color.
Gorgeous! ❤
Thank you! 😊
This is very pretty! Love all the color variations in the pendant. Thanks!
@@debbiebarnette9715 Thank you for tuning in. ❤️
That was incredible! I can’t wait to try this technique out. Thank you for sharing 💗
You are welcome. Have fun with it. Thanks for watching. 🩷
Until I saw you do it, I would never have believed this would work and now I can't wait to try it. What magnificent results! Thanks so much for sharing.
You are welcome. There is so much that can be done with it. Thanks for tuning in.
Very negative comment. The bail looks very strong to me.
Thank you, Debbie. The bail is quite strong and has not failed. It's all in the material used and curing so that the plastic forms properly. I appreciate your support. ❤
You’re very welcome. I think the bail was one of the most unique things I have seen on TH-cam videos. Did you also the pendant? If so, do you have a video showing how you did it? Thanks!
Thank you 🎉 New subscriber here 🥰
@@jacquelinemorris5104 Thank you so much! 💗
How excellent to see something new and different! Great piece, I love it! I ordered repel gel but haven't ever used it. Does a little, go a long way?
@allisonchavez9113 Yes, a little goes a long way. It works great. Thank you for your kind words, and thanks for visiting. ☺️
Great concept! I will experiment with this for sure! Thank you for sharing this.
@@utnanwp You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you it was very informative
Glad it was helpful! 😊
That was brilliant!
Awww, thank you. I really love doing bails. After searching for what I had in mind, I kept finding all those mass produced, cookie cutter types, so I decided to create my own. Thanks for tuning in. 😊
Wow. I can certainly appreciate the hard work you put into creating this AND sharing. Thank you❤
It's a labor of love. Thank you for tuning in. 😊
I think you talk just fine but I’m from High Point NC lol. I think you did a great job thank you for sharing
@@SherryAvalosCastro Hey neighbor, part of my family lives in Lexington. Thank you for visiting 😊
Really cute!
Thank you! 😊
merci !! 🥰
Amy, what’s the name of the resin you use.
I use Mr. Resin. amzn.to/4fykPO1
LOVE THIS- THANK YOU
You are so welcome!
Simply stunning!...
Thank you! 😊
Super, love mica shift, thank you for sharing..
Thank you too
Think this small bail will break very soon 😢
What makes you say that? Do you know what material it's made of, or what's your reasoning, please?
All of my bails have held up over time. I haven't had one fail. They are made with Cosclay in the base, giving them strength and flexibility.
Love it!! thanks so much for sharing your talents ❤
It's my pleasure
Thank you so much, loved the video and the pieces
You are so welcome!
🥰🥰🥰
Hi Amy, Jill here in the U.K. thanking you for a fab, creative, artistic and easy to follow video. Thanks for sharing. Question..at the beginning you have 2 pieces of translucent but unless I missed it…didn’t see you use it. Do you just add it to the bake before baking?
Hi Jill, I did use the 2nd piece, but if you blink, you may miss it. 😂 During the circle cutting part of the tutorial, I'm trying to place the cut-out circles where they are most opposite in color on the pattern. The last 2 large circles didn't have a home, so I grabbed the extra piece of translucent, placed a couple of veneer strips that I liked on it, and cut out the 2 remaining circles. It's at 14:21 in the video. Thanks for watching! ❤
Thank you for posting this great lesson. I love this a lot.
Thank you!
You are so welcome! I found the comment. Lol😅
This technique is new to me. It looks so great, and you make it look easy. Thank you for the excellent tutorial!!! >^*^<
You are so welcome!

Wow! When you first started-I was thinking hmmm this doesn’t look great but you are amazing! Absolutely love it!
Thank you so much!
Yes please show us how you did the back! Would love to see that. What is the spelling of that clay you mix in for flexibility? Thank you!❤
Hi thanks for asking. The clay is CosClay. Thanks for watching!❤
Hi there, I finally got the tutorial made for the back. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/0eKxDID9hC8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Pl8T-BO4IQZT32WM
OMG so love this!❤ Have to have this as earrings! Thank you ever so much for sharing! Simply amazing!!!
Where can we find the template for cutting the pendants?
Hi thanks for the question. The template is from Cool Tools.
Amy, this is the first time that I've been fortunate enough to see your creations and WOW, are they strikingly beautiful 🎉 You make it look so easy but I'm sure that the first time I try to emulate them, it'll look like a 2 year old's attempt to follow the leader! Thank you for sharing these lovely pieces with us. I can't wait to try!!!!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Hi again. I can't find the comment I just wrote to add to it. The 2 color slab AND the accent slab together don't even look as thick as just your one color slab. m Can you just come over to show me? I'll make the coffee.
This is super cool. I love it & it's not too complicated. I do have a question though. Your slabs look a lot thicker than mine do. colored clay-4th setting...accent clay-5th setting, right? I have an Atlas pasta machine that goes to 7 so maybe it's my machine making the slabs too thin. Any suggestions? thank you. I wish just ONE thing I make would turn out.
Hi, sorry to be so long in responding. I also have an atlas 150 which goes to 7. I rolled the colors on #4 and the translucent on #5. When you shave and add the strips to the translucent piece some slightly overlap but after burnishing with the wax paper and roller the veneer levels off probably to about a #4. I hope this helps. Just keep practicing. It will come together.
@@Caricoclay Thank you so much for replying. Your info is very helpful. Very kind of you to make the effort to explain.
Is there anyway I could get that page that you used for your pendant please? I love this technique!
Are you asking for the tutorial for the pendant itself? If so, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/0aRlx0GtJL8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BfkmZvoMEY5xio3Q
Devine ❤❤🙏🏽
Lovely slab. Where did you get the templates?
Template is from Cool Tools
Really neat. Way too complicated for me to even try.
..right now. Keep practicing. It's that blade work...
Once you start understanding the concepts of how certain techniques produce certain results, it all starts becoming intuitive! You'll get there!
You can do it!
extremely well made tutorial! love the camera work, edits, sound...oh-and actual project is great too!
Awww, thank you so much! I put a lot into editing. I find it quite satisfying. I research a lot of sound, too. I really enjoyed putting this one together. So glad you enjoyed it.❤
Nice.....thanks for sharing!!
This is so beautiful! love this technique!!! And colors are great together!
Absolutely gorgeous 👏
I ve enjoyed all your videos but this is by far my favorite! More please!!!
More to come!
The bail sticks on without liquid clay or bake & bond?
Yes the bail sticks on because it overlaps the sides and has the two straps that overlap on the other cured clay. However, you can use liquid clay or bake and bond if you feel more comfortable with the integrity.
Amazing! Wooooooow!
Fantastic technique
Many thanks
I love the bail! You have a lot of patience. I really appreciate you sharing your ideas and talent!
Thank you so much!
This is simply amazing! I love it! Thank you for sharing!❤️ Going to next video 😀
