Because you live in a warm place cover your clay projects to let the dry slowly. Well done for starting and not giving up. 👏👏👏

I believe that the clay is shrinking and since on a no pliable surface it just cracks.

Coasters

❤❤❤love your resiliency ❤❤❤ beautiful 🥰🥰

I need one of those 😊

music makes me anxious

👍

Molly Brown says paint the cracks 😂

Neat project!

How much does it help the paint stick to the glass?

Do you think this method can be used on outdoor planters? I am looking for how to cover half plastic drum to make it look like decent planter for tree

After you gave a hint "kitchen " my guess changed to hot pads for pots coming off the stove and ot melting plastic tablecloths.

Have you tried using cooking spray Pam on your molds to help release?

I guessed you are making a sunflower with a round center and petals of dimensions that gave each a personality.

What a great finish you ended up doing!.....I have done this with the same results with cracking. . Air dry clay relies on quick evaporation (which makes it desirable) because of shrinkage it can't pull away and stay together when on the outside of an object so it cracks. I found very slow drying either a damp cloth or under a plastic tub helps and a cooler place also trying a humidifier next time to see if that helps on really dry days. ☺️

I feel your pain. It's been a long summer! And not a drop of rain in Tempe! Thanks for the tutorial.

I'm totally new to clay sculpting and haven't even made anything yet. I was thinking of using glass bottles as a core to save on clay. However, I saw a youtube video where it was mentioned that air dry clay shrinks a lot, which is why people use things like aluminum foil with masking tape over it or paper mache, and then remove it to allow for the shrinkage when it dries. Since the glass bottles don't shrink, the cracks form.

Following comments because this happens to me and it's hard to find a straight answer. What about gesso on the glass before clay? Also, I gave up on the clay for a few projects and used wall joint compound. It works well. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed seeing someone real that makes mistakes and moves on from them.

I so liked your vid! and I don't normally like vids of people who laugh at themselves - for some reason, you're the first one I see that doesn't sound fake 🤭 I didn't have the patience to read all the comments, but I have to say this: now is the time for you to learn about kintsugi - the japanese art of repairing pottery with gold clay (don't know the technical details, only the outward appearance) I was thinking of a way to teach that to my art students without having to ask them to break anything whole. and you've given me the perfect solution! thanks for sharing!!

Love it!

That is genius! Well done!! 😍🧡🌵

Came out great! Also, we're gonna need a montage! 😆

Nice job and very useful.

Watching this two years later and wonder if they are still alive. I'll see if you have another video about them. Thanks for the video!

Hot water releases it.

Would Mod Podge have helped it adhere better?? I too live in Phoenix 😊

Hello. I think they look cool. Thank you for sharing! Are they holding up fine?

Amazing!!!

Can you tell me if you use luke warm water or cool water? After I pour the nail polish in and try to move it around, it seems dry and won't swirl.

cover the bottle or jars with aluminum foil and you wont have that problem. use das clay just a suggestion

New concrete crafter. What product would you suggest to purchase. Live in the US.

Great rescue

you did an awesome job. the papier mache was a great idea. 👏👏👏

Mine always cracks

Really pretty.

Where did you buy blue glass beads?

Music is mastered too loud, I have to turn the volume up and down to hear you.

Pour hot water over the bottom, comes right out

Hi never use any thing like that. But love to try new things.

Do I need to spray first? Or can I dip and then bake in the oven to seal the polish??

I know I’m SUPER late on this comment but if you ever want to try this again, try creating a little bit more of a humid environment by placing a damp paper towel over the top of your project and lightly covering with a piece of plastic. It may take a longer time to dry BUT the clay will dry slower. If that doesn’t work, try putting a layer of mod podge on the glass first so the clay has a texture to adhere to. Also, try making air dry clay slip to help fill the cracks. Check your project periodically while it dries and fill the forming cracks with the slip. When the project is completely dry you can sand down the bits or leave them for that added texture. 🙃🙃 also, another tip, make sure your clay is a little bit thicker, because if the clay is too thin it will crack BUT if it’s too thick it could crack as well because it won’t be able to dry evenly. I REALLY hope you try it again because you were on the right track and you had WONDERFUL ideas to upcycle bottles and jars 🥰🥰 I hope this helps if you try again
