A Basic Polymer Clay Jewelry Tutorial - Inclusions, Easy As Pi
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ต.ค. 2022
- In this tutorial, you'll learn the simplest imitative technique - translucent clay and embossing powders. When mixed into the clay, the embossing powders become inclusions.
Once the powder is mixed in, you'll form a Pi - or donut bead. This bead will be the focal point in a simple necklace of light discs.
And a little ask, if you like and learned, please like and subscribe❤️…many thanks!
Easy as Pi!
Cheers, Donna

Thank you for adding these tutorials to TH-cam for us. Watching is getting me inspired to get back to my clay.
Donna, you are such a great teacher. Thanks for all you do!
I loved this! As many tutorials as I've watched, I can't remember any showing that much detail on making tube beads. Thank you for not cutting it short. I learned the reason mine didn't turn out was because I was putting too much pressure on the clay while rolling it. You never know what might be boring to one person, is an ah hah moment for another one, like me! Thank you sooooo much for what you do!!!
Peggy Hice, I too, appreciated the time Donna spent on the tube beads. I had never seen them done quite that way with the stroking and pulling, etc. That's a totally different approach to what I've been doing and it's worth trying.
Yep! totally agree xxx
Tory Hughes (RIP) was a true artist in imitative clay. She not only replicated natural stone and bone, but created totally new materials.
Yes, she was. Agree.
Just a very simple…? 😅😅 thank you so much for this spectacular tutorial (all of them are special and spectacular!!!!) 😊
That was a fabulous tutorial and necklace Donna, thank you so very much for sharing 💜🥰💜 lot's of information 💜😊
I like cured and ground clay in with a bit of mica and leaf as well as some embossing powders.
Ooooh, great idea! I recently "lost" a huge amount of clay canes and veneers to one very hot afternoon in a very hot car...argh!! Inspired to go grind some up as inclusions. Thanks!!!
Love the subtle organic feel of the first piece. Really beautiful!
I always learn so much from your videos, Donna! So many tips and techniques! Thank you so much for taking the time to pass on your knowledge! I love the embossing powder in the clay~I have a LOAD of it, so will go to good use!
There, you go. Polymer clay is the best cross over material, so many things can be used with it. It's kind of a problem because your studio might get very crowded...ask me how I know...Happy New Year! Big hugs, D
"shorter and chubbier".....sounds like me. You are a very brave woman wearing a fuzzy top around polymer. Great video!
I’m nuts!!!❤️
The baking tray looks like one I have for escargot!
I love waking up to your tutes!!! Drinking my coffee and learning from Donna, doesn’t get much better than that 😍. Thank you so much for doing these, I always learn a ton!!! 💜
Watching one of Donna's tutorials is like dropping in on that artistic, quirky neighbor and staying all day because what she is doing is so interesting.
Wonderful! I just ran out and bought some embossing powders to try this technique. Thank you!!!
Donna, a trick i use to keep large holed beads centered on the cord against smaller holed beads is to put a seed bead of appropriate size inside the larger hole. Then the other beads or end caps don't ride up on a Center bead, especially. In this case your tube bead might fit inside the hoke in the Center bead.
Good idea, Deb! 😊❤️🧑🎄☮️🎉🎁🎄
Merci Madame. Comme à l’accoutumé, quelle générosité dans cette vidéo. Je me permets de vous souhaiter une excellente année.
Hello Donna. It’s unbelievable what you do with the clay. You make it seem easy but for a beginner it is not. Anyway you explain everything so well that anyone can try to replicate what you do! Fantastic explanation of everything!! Amazing! Gorgeous results 😊
Such clear explantion-so wonderful! What a learning experience. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! Cheers, D!
I have had polymer clay for a year or so now. The only thing I really used it for was to cover fairly large plain buttons which I have used on a number of things. I seem to jump around a lot when it comes to crafting. Recently my daughter shared some polymer clay videos with me that caught her interest and of course planted the seed in me to create. I am trying to find something I enjoy that will stick. Just maybe it is jewelry making. I used your video to make my first piece of jewelry ever using your pattern. I am very pleased. I found a set of four paint tins which will hold 10 domes each which I found on Amazon. A bit flimsy but they work perfectly. I was over anxious for a finished product so I didn't use as many domes. I ended up with 17 domes total on each side by rotating black and clay colored domes. First 8 black with black beads in between, then a set of 4 clay color domes with clay color beads in between, ending with a set of 5 black. I really enjoyed the process and am very pleased with the end product. Your tutorial was very easy to follow, to the point, with just the right information. Thank you so much for sharing your time and skills with us. If per chance you are on Facebook I will share there. :)
Hello! I am so pleased you found the tutorial helpful and made your necklace! Polymer clay can be magic, really, it does so many things, hard to be bored with it. I know you'll enjoy exploring it further. Welcome to the wonderful world of polymer clay! Cheers, D
I love getting my morning inspiration from you! I always learn something and think of projects I want to try based on your techniques, but with my twist!
Love this necklace xxx
Thank you, Donna ! Love your work and your tutorials !
wawwwwwwwww grazie mille Donna Kato🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Gorgeous love this so much thankyou x
Thanks Donna 🎨 💜
Lovely!
Looks beautiful
Thank You Donna, beautiful color combo❤ Love it and have to make it🤗🥳
Full of info, tips and a full tute.. heaven 💖 Thanks Donna. You rock
Thank you for your knowledge.I learned so much.😊
I love love love this necklace. Thank you for a fantastic tutorial.
Dearest Donna, I cannot express enough my gratitude for these wonderful tutorials you provide !!! There’s so much to learn and try and when I recently found your channel I felt like a little kid that found a treasure box full of chocolate! I immediately had a boost of creativity and have hardly put down the clay since😂.
As for the big beautiful stone-like bead in the middle of this tutorial: I thought you could have tried to fit a hollow bead in the opening that seemed a little too big, and the bead caps around it would have kept it in place.
Again, thank you so much, I have to keep making rings now with your technique, the first ones have turned out stunningly beautiful and I see myself doing nothing else for the weeks or even months to come! Sending hugs from Germany,
Maika
Great suggestion, Maika! That would be splendid! Hugs to you❤️
Fantastique 🥰✨
Yay.... i love this necklace and the tutorial Donna ma'am........ thank you for the video.... ❤
I always learn something new. Thank you❤
My pleasure, Marika!
thanks Donna what a fabulous piece , i enjoy your video's i always learn something .
thanks for sharing have a great week!!! 🤩
This is a gorgeous project. Thanks for this wonderful tutorial.
Donna you are wonderful! Thank you ❤
Thank you so much!😊❤️
Great tutorial. Re the riding up and larger hole, you could always place a smaller bead inside the hole.
Yes! I tend to string on buna so it might be more difficult but if using tigertail, etc, a bead would definitely do the trick! Thanks for suggesting! 😊❤️
You are teaching me that I can use items from my craft/scrapbooking items with the clay. You are an encyclopaedia of knowledge. Thank you for showing me all the things that can be done with polymer. Looking at the donut after baking looks like a pear.
So glad you’re finding multi uses for your supplies - I do look for ways to maximize the too many things I have acquired! Hugs, D!
Just for you to know, your “painting tray” is actually meant to bake snails in the oven 🐌 or present them to eat!
French you know… 😁
I bough similar for the same purpose, just look for snail tray, plateau à escargot..
Great tutorial, when I was a kid, we called those finger weaves, Chinese handcuffs. 😄
Thanks so much Donna!!!!
You are so welcome!
Questa collana è fantastica 🤩🤩🤩 bravissima 👏👏👏
Beautiful! I learned so much!! Thank you! I never thought of getting a paint pan for the beads! Genius you are!
It’s hard to find metal paint pans these days, check your local Asian market to see if they have the dim sum server!😊
I have found that when I use embossing powder, it tends to expand when it melts. There seems to be a limit to how much embossing powder the clay can hold before it will crack when baking. I'm thinking of trying to substitute pastel powder for some of the embossing powder to see if I like the results.
Love love love this …now if I just had the template I would be in heven
I've been looking at this particular necklace. I love doing faux beads and it's about time I make a necklace! Nice work with the tube beads! I love this necklace! I am going to try it!
Yay, Cynthia!❤️
the easy answer to the problem of the caps riding up is to fill the hole with a bead small enough to fit in the hole of the donut but with it's own hole just bigg enough for the cord. Like a pony or crow bead.
Fabulous tutorial. I learned a lot. Thank you. It made me smile every time you said you wouldn't wear the necklace because you weren't going anywhere. SO? I don't think that matters. I'm known for wearing statement necklaces and I wear them at home, alone, even in my grubbies, just because. I feel undressed without one.
You know, I must try that! Everything goes with polar fleece!
@@DonnaKatoArt Exactly! I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you so much. I am exploring combining polymer with textiles and I learned so many new things. And spent money. You mentioned a tool; I bought it! Sigh.
@@InTheStudioWithMyrna but, it is a great tool! Sure makes my life easier!❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt Not a problem. I also bought the V-groove, and eye pins, and tie tacks, and that thing for the O rings, and... and... and... I'm really excited about the work and the right tools make all the difference.
Great tutorial! Thankyou.
BTW I loved the clasp - do you have a tutorial for that?
Hi Jill! Check this Playlist link. It could be in here! th-cam.com/play/PL1AVs28sIzgbBpZfamQ3manzUYdoSXD_l.html
❤ thanks for continuing to share your gift. think I need to go buy some embossing powders lol. What size is your round disc, looked rather large. Fantastic pieces, thanks again
Hi Victoria, the piece is large, I’d estimate2.5 to 3 inches! ❤️
Could you tell me if you made the clasp? And if you did it (I think so!) how did you do it?
Thank you again 😊
Yes! Pleeease❤
Hi Donna, is embossing powder and embossing glaze the same thing? Also, could you tint the translucent clay with alcohol ink before adding the powder or would that dry it out even more? I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge with us. Beginner here.
Gina, I went to Tim Holtz's website to look up the product that Donna is referencing and I saw the embossing glaze too. Reading a little, it seems that the embossing glaze is translucent and is used for layering effects. It looks like Ranger no longer carries the distressed embossing powders that Donna is using.
That’s correct, they no longer sell the Tim Holtz Distress Embossing powder, it was a little different in that it has non-melting inclusions along with the melting powder that created a more textured look. However any embossing powder will create that speckled look when distributed through the clay. If you’re looking for a variety of speckled colors you can mix multiple embossing powders in your clay or Ranger (who produces the Tim Holtz embossing line) has embossing colors like verdigris (which Donna also used) and turquoise. Also, the company “Wow” has a large number of embossing powders with mixed colors in a single powder.
Hello Donna,thank's the tutorial. What Glue do you use?
Hi Maria! i use Loctite Ultra Control Gel! Cheers!😊❤️
Thanks ❤
I love the distress powders but you can't get them anymore. :(
🙁
Did the tim holtz embossing powders change ? Because i ordered one and it doesnt have the black and white flecks like yours ! Is there another brand that you use!?
They do that. Not sure why because the black flecks made the powder, IMO...
Hi Donna I have just started watching your Chanel and I am wondering If since I live in Queensland Australia if it’s possible to purchase you book as I would be interested in learn some of your craft
You know, I’d check Amazon. Bet it’s there. My first book isn’t in print, anymore. It was old! 😊❤️
WHAT SIZE ARE YOUR O RINGS PLEASE? Could you give us a link to where you purchase these please? Thank you in advance.
Hi! Okay, here’s a link to Amazon! I had them..,hot to bring them in again!
www.amazon.com/uxcell-Rings-Nitrile-Rubber-Diameter/dp/B07GJML4CN/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?keywords=2mm+o+ring&qid=1692486323&sr=8-13
Donna what is the name of the tool that you used to put 5 mm marks on the clay for slicing?
That was my Marxit. I invented that one but it became impossible to make - no one wants to do small runs, anymore…sad…hugs, D
Plz can you tell me where I can get my hands on the Marxit tool I’ve searched all over I live in the uk but have a daughter in Ohio so if it’s freely available over in the USA I could buy and have it sent to her address maybe she’s coming over for Xmas so could bring it !
I found one on Etsy sold by jessamadesign under the listing named polymer clay ruler & cane marker.
Hi Vera, we stopped making them because we got ripped off by China. There is nothing too small, I guess….
The Chinese finger trap 'toy'
Our toys were simple!
