See you in the next video.
Sincerely
Samantha Burroughs.
I enjoy watching you create. I am primarily a paper crafter, but this may be in my retirement plan! Thank you for the time and energy you put into these tutorials!
So so beautiful!!!❤
Hi Samantha, I also had trouble removing the cutter as you did. After thinking about it for a while I decided to get a small bowl of carb Soda and dip the cutter into it and then cut the polymer clay. It worked very well, no more sticking.
Your video tutorials are amazing. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial ... love your commitment to a polished product; taking that time makes the end result so much more professional. Can't wait to begin my polymer clay earring journey! Thank you again.
Am a beginner and hope to make something beautiful with the help of all your tutorials...thank you for the information on all those wonderful proj cts
Me too as soon as I get the courage to buy some supplies... I see a rabbit hole
🙃
Love the different styles thank you
Fun retro take, yet your color choice’s are really beautiful! Makes for a much richer, classy look. Many thanks💝
You explain things so well and are easy to listen to. I hope you get loads more subscribers. And your ideas are great. where do I find the circle cutter?
Thank you. I sell the cutter here. www.etsy.com/au/listing/679341163
Wow beautiful and attractive
Great video! Love to see the whole process for the pairs. It's so inspiring.
I really enjoy watching your tutorials and get inspired :-) I have never heard of using the heat gun on polymer clay. Did you use it just to harden the surface, and then put it in the oven?
Yes, I just harden the surface and then finish the bake in the oven.
Very cool look and a lot of these colors come in the Premo starter pack.
love them
The best 42min of my life
Just loved watching the entire process, You are my inspiration to start making earrings by my own!! totally loved it, thank you for the share!
Just starting out, these are just the kind of look I luuurrv. Thank you so much, need some Metallica and I'll be out the blocks.
This style is from the late 60’s. Love it!
So pretty indeed fantastic job 😍😍
I love your work , you are so talented and the things you make are so beautiful I have been practicing some if your techniques
Fabulous!
Hi Samantha! These are really sophisticated looking but fun at the same time. Really enjoyed this. I plan on making some for myself and my daughter. Cheers!
I really appreciate & recognize all you have done 💐 you are really an efficient and organized personality 😀its still lovely to watch a person with a new & different perspective 💝 keep uploading like this excellent contects 😍stay blessed 🙌🏻stay connected
beautiful job!
Very nice! I picked up a lot of info.. Thanks!
Thank you!! Lovely video!
.muy bellos y faciles gracias
Have you considered using a flexi shaft on your Dremel. With your small hands you would probably find it easier to use. Just ask for assistance in the tool section at Bunnings, they will show you what a flexi shaft is.
Beautiful earrings
Xxxxxxxx. Loved this tutorial and really like the design
Those turned out so amazing. You put alot of love into those and it shows 😍
Very nice, Samantha...thanks.
Great video. Why did you bake the grey and black separately? Did you just change your mind or was there a technical reason. Thanks.
I baked it separately because I want the front to be hard before I apply the backing. That way it doesn't distort.
I was wondering when you would post a video making modern art polymer clay earrings! :p Great job Samantha, please make more tutorials like this.
Also, I've been binge-watching all of your videos, you are so talented :)
Wonderful video.
I love these! They remind me of something I would have worn in the 80's :) (and would still wear today) beautiful :) Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant tutorial 😊
Loved your tutorial! Very thorough explanation. Only thing I’m left wondering is the benefits of the heat gun. What is it’s purpose? Is it only to partially bake your piece so it keeps its shape when you move it or smooth the edges? Or does it do more?
Also, do you need to subtract baking time from your calculation if you have used a heat gun?
The heat gun is used to make crackles, set the clay before you move it off a tile and such, but it doesn't interfere with the baking time. The baking time should still be at least 40 minoutes.
Gorgeous! Love the color pallette. I would definitely have to wear these mismatched on purpose for full art gallery effect~
Beautiful
Great tutorial, so informative and it's given me a lot more inspiration to try and make a pair of earrings. Thank you for sharing !
Those are beautiful 🥰
I love the Aussie style earrings that are so hot this summer
I know what I will be working on.. lol 😉😆
Your accent / voice is really relaxing
Hi your video is great. Can I just ask as new to this if I didn't have a heat gun can a hair dryer do the same. Thx. X
No, a hair dryer isn't going to work the same as a heatgun.
Beautiful and simple!! I love it!! Thanks for sharing!!
WOW I love it... totally wanna try. Thank you
Very nice. Do you think you could make something similar but using acrylics to make the dots instead of polymer clay? Thanks for sharing!
Yes you can. Make a plan disk of white instead of putting dots on it, sand, buff and then put acrylic dots on the shiny piece of white clay. You'll need to seal it with something like Varathane to protect the paint.
Jessama Tutorials Thanks for the tip!
Very helpful video! Can i make a hope before baking them?
I have been searching everywhere for the two cutters you used for your fab earrings. The puffy round & half round. Do you have a suggestion? Thanks.
I sell them on my etsy shop here. www.etsy.com/au/shop/JessamaDesign?ref=l2-shopheader-name

@@JessamaTutorials I see that due to COVID you are unable to ship to o.ther countries. I did, however, purchase 4 of your excellent tutorials. Please announce when shipping will be available to America. Thank you
Love them
kool vid thank you.... What settings do you use on your heat gun ?? when doing clay like you did here, the Ozito heat gun, can be set from 50 to 600, what is yours set on? and high or low air flow?
I use low air flow and work around the 400 to 500 mark.
انا متابع حضرتك جدداااا و شغلك روعه
Very pretty 💗😊
Hi, would a hair drier work the same as the heat gun? I presume it's just to set it a little so that its easier to lift without distorting it?
No. A hair drier won't get hot enough and won't be an even heat.
Beautiful! Can you advise the baking details please? how many degree and for how long?
I bake for an hour at the recommended temperature on the packet.
@@JessamaTutorials - this explanation got me wondering... which temperature to use when we mix different brands of clays in our projects??? Because the white and pearl are Premo, which has a set temperature, but the rest is Cernit Metallic that has a different set temperature. Which to use?
Hi! I make polymer earrings too. I just started and some people have purchased. My friend got a pair and after wearing them once, one of them broke in half. So embarrassing! She said it was soft. I bake them for like 30 or more. I also sand them to be fairly thin. Could this be the problem? How do I make them rock solid? Is there a different over bake clay I should use?? Please help!
What brand of clay are you using? Clay should be flexible even if it is very thin. .
Can. Please tell me where to get the buffing piece u used in this wonderful tutorial
I sell it here. www.etsy.com/au/listing/633937925/rotary-tool-buffing-wheel-for-polymer?click_key=ac1accb78a3ae3d24f9d31b71166fc25fef12ca6%3A633937925&click_sum=5fbc619d&ga_search_query=wheel&ref=shop_items_search_1&frs=1&crt=1&sts=1
Beautiful!!
Cant you make holes with dotting tool before you bake?
Hey Samantha. Thanks for your really nice and helpful videos! You're awesome :-) I have a question...if I start polymer clay, do I really need these many stages of sanding (and sanding paper)? I don't want my earrings to be that shiny. Do you have recommendations?
If you don't want it to be shiny go with a 400 and 600 grit sandpaper to make sure you've cleaned up your clay and made the image sharp and then leave it. It will have a nice matte finish.
@@JessamaTutorials thank you very much!!!
wow so cool, where you get the manual drill? and the little buffing machine etc? I have just started and about to do the holes for the jump rings to go before baking but hoping it stays really even and looks ok
I sell it here. www.etsy.com/au/listing/660751360/polymer-clay-hand-drill?ref=shop_home_active_11&frs=1
Both styles are beautiful, i was wondering how you did the polka dots, thank you
Great tutorial, thank you. Just one question: is there any reason you make backings after you bake your jewelry and bake them a second time? Is it possible to attach backing from the beginning?
Thank you.
Baking the front part first insures that you won't introduce finger prints or distort the shape while applying the back.
what is the degree celcius for this? so should bake for 30mins?
If you check on the clay package, it should tell you the right temperature. I bake for around an hour.
Lovely as always ! :) Thanks for sharing !
Are polymer clay earring heavy? Do they feel like clay or like plastic in terms of weight?
You do beautiful work. The small beads of color clay have to be tiny correct? Otherwise when you burnish they’ll spread to wide and ruin the effect? 😊
Yes. They had to be quite small. Fiddly. Lol
Love these!
Thanks for sharing! Where did you get the drill?
Love your tutorials Samantha. Absolutely brilliant. Can I ask what mm size your jump rings are for these earrings?
About 8mm I do believe.
@@JessamaTutorials Thank you 🙏👌👏
Fantastic, love your tutorials! After putting together the earring components the jump ring and the ear wire are both in the same direction, so the earring will hang sideways, do you “turn” the earring wire so it is “sideways”?
Yes. I do turn the ear wires the right way if I sell them, but keeping them this way makes them lay better when taking photos.
Thank you so much! @@JessamaTutorials
I add a very tiny jump ring to the main jump ring and that helps them hang nicer. I have broken my wires turning them.
You said the surface you’re using is ceramic? Would glass work?
Yes. Glass would work too.
Too good... Could you please share the details of where did you purchase the buffing tool?
Harini Natarajan, You can get it Home Depot, Lows, Walmart, or amazon sell it. It’s a dremmel drill, and it comes with many different parts.
I actually make my own buffing wheels and sell them here. That's what I used on the video. www.etsy.com/au/listing/633937925/rotary-tool-buffing-wheel?ref=shop_home_active_13&frs=1
Hi , love this vid , do you have to polish and wax or can they be used as earrings straight after the bake ?
You'd have to polish and wax for the best result, but they're not absolutely necessary.
Could you do a video on how to clean your pasta machine?
I'm getting mine soon and I'm scared of not getting it properly cleaned between colors!
I actually have a tutorial on this already. www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay-pasta-machine-2.html
magnifico onde encontrar a POLYMER CLAY?NO BRAZIL?????
Very beautiful and cute ❤ Instagram button doesn't work 😢
Sorry about that. Here's a correct link. instagram.com/jessama_tutorials/

Hi, did you use the heat gun to harden it a bit because of the shape?
Yes. It's much easier to move the shapes once they have been hardened a touch with the heat gun.
Where do you get your really fine sandpaper? The finest I can get is 1200.
I sell polishing papers on my etsy store JessamaDesign. They go up to 8000.
Jessama Tutorials thank you I will be sure to order some.
Hello what size donut cutters did you use for the earrings..? Do not know what size to get.. thank you💕
I use the 5cm one. www.etsy.com/au/listing/679341163/circle-donut-5?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1
thank you so much for this video. I see all my wrong doings now!
Hermosos!! ❤️
I missed what did you use the heat gun for?
The donuts are very easy to distort when you pick them up off the tile so by using a heatgun to semi cure them, they are easier to lift up with no distortion of the shape. You then bake them in the oven.
Oh I see ok thanks for the reply!!
what size jump rings do you use? Love your video!
I used an 8mm round jumpring.
Hi Samantha, Thank you for sharing all your experience with us. I’ve learned the best I know from you. First of all do you have any support link? I’d like to support you as mush as I can because I’ve learned a lot from you. And second of all Would you please let me know what is the polishing dremal head name that you used in this video? 😊

Did you condition the clay you made the small balls from?
Yes.
I really enjoyed your tutorial and your retro style of earings, as I am new to polymer clay I don't have appropriate cutters. Could you please let me know where I can purchase them. Thankyou. I look forward to more videos. Regards from Australia
I sell all the cutters on my etsy shop here. www.etsy.com/au/shop/JessamaDesign?ref=l2-shopheader-name#reviews
Is it necessary to sand them?
Yes. I find that if you don't sand it looks messy.
Love it! Did put then in the oven?
Yes.
Lovely tutorial 👍🏻
Where can I buy that heat gun ? Is it necessary to put the pieces in the oven using the heat gun?
You can buy the OZITO heat gun online, but it's not complete necessary for the project. It just makes it easier.
Try using a blowdryer
What wattage on the heat gun or which heat gun do u recommend please, love your work. Thanks
I use an ozito heatgun.
Do you know what wattage it is as I’m in uk x
Beautiful 😍
wow
J aime bien ce montage, je trouve qu il est moderne...souvent les montages font anciens....retros
Beautiful, what is the black substance you put on the back of the black pieces ?
Polymer clay.
can this be done with soil clay
I'm not sure, you'll need to test it out.
What are the earrings supposed to feel like after they are baked? Hard or kind of soft and almost bendy?
Fairly hard with a slight bit of bend.
If someone drop on the ground they break?
If they are baked for long enough (1 hour) then they shouldn't break.
