Ooo! Thanks for the tip on the red polymer clay! Very good to know! I was mixing some red the other day and my hands were caked in red. There were red stains all over my house! Hahaha!🤗😂
Omg thank you! I needed this tutorial the way I was doing it was awful but this method makes a perfect cane, I literally squealed in excitement when I finally did it!
The addition of the translucent to the red... wonderful idea! I love red but have always dreaded trying to keep the white from turning pale pink when using red with it. I also love that you went that extra step to make both thick and thin stripes. It adds so much to the realism.
Nicole Parmentier I am so glad that it came out great for you :) I get comments all the time about how long, and boring my tutorials are, or comments saying I talk way too much. I struggle with it, because when I used to teach classes it was very important to show each step clearly.
Is there a way to bake a tiny wire hook into the top of the candy cane so make it into a hang-able Christmas ornament for a desktop tree? Would the metal cause the fimo to crack when baking?
Just depends on how thick the clay is. I would sometimes poke in a head pin and cook it with the head pin poking straight through. The when it was cool, I would remove the pin, and stick it in they way I liked
I used to do that and it doesn’t give the larger lines and skinny lines like Heather’s method does. It also gives you a textured candy cane since there’s just two twists. If you’re going for the textured candy cane (like a unicorn horn type twist), then it’ll work! But for the round, realistic ones, it’s best this way!
Do you feel if i was to half all the logs used in the beginning (i don't have a ton of clay) that the same results will be met? Also you said if they where much smaller for the candy cane the clay might crack do you thing if i was to make them smaller to be put in a jar for a necklace they would be okay or is that something i should just try out and see what happens? Thank you for your video!!
Jenifer Sparke Yess! You can make them smaller with the same results. They will crack if you try to put metal though them after baking when they are tiny. If you aren't forcing metal through them they will be fine :) Sewing pins are thinner than safety pins, and candy canes can survive quite a bit smaller if you use those rather than a safety pin to make the hole
Love it and ty for the awesome tip of smooshing the ends down to bake it straight!! I'm not sure if it has been answered, but, do u bake the full time before slicing? I usually bake my premo 275 F for an hour 😅. Tysm again!! I want to make loads of peppermints candies and bark and everything now!! 🥰🥰🥰
HI there, great tutorial. How do you stop the white and the pink colours bleeding into one another? When I roll my clay together like that the white turns pink because it touches the red, I can never get a crisp white and red look. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!
+Heather Wells i used t have such a a hard time working with acrylic nails on. i just needed to get the right tools. now my nails actually are little tools them selves. i love your videos be the way!
Where did you buy the 2 round cutters that you use when making the tea cup and the cracked egg shell. I really enjoyed watching your videos. They are truly amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Missmir When someone thinks an item is real in the photos, that is always the best compliment :) Thank you so much for watching, and taking the time to comment Heather
Cali Cute Creationz I do have popcorn on the suggestion list. I hope to eventually get around to just about everything :) Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Your welcome! I am the person who suggested rainbow cupcakes but I changed my user and got a profile pic. My profile picture is of the cheeseburgers I made out of polymer clay from your plain cheeseburger video! 😊
Congrats! Candy canes are fun :) I did a video on changes on etsy. It is the newest video. I am allowing people to put links to their shops in the comments there.

Yay!! So glad to help
I made these for Halloween! I love the multiple sized stripe just like the vintage sticks and canes. Thank you so much!!
Your welcome, thank you so much
You're so kind taking the time to show us how to do this, thanks x
Thank you so much
I am so happy I found your video's they are the greatest thank you

Yes! I had the same problem!
redhotsweetpotatoe Thank you so much!
Mandy Lee Red, some yellows, black, and the dark plum colors I always dilute with translucent.
They always leave so much pigment behind.
Heather Wells
Excellent tutorial!! I just made some following your steps and they look good enough to eat!
I love that!! Thank you so much for writing how yours turned out!
I tried this, and it worked great! Thank you
Thank you so much! I am glad it worked well
You have the best tutorials. I just tried this out and it came out awesome. This was my first time making a cane.

@@heathernwells That sounds like a solution! Thank you very much.
These are cool! They make me want to eat one! 😃 I'm going to try some with white glow in the dark clay!🤗 Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you
Another great tutorial, Heather!
Sophia P Thank you :) Thanks for coming back too :)
No prob. I love your work!
Thank you so much! I totally expected a blur of pink by the end, but they are perfect!
It is thanks to adding the translucent.. otherwise it would be a complete mess lol
you can also take one rolled red and white clay and stick them together and just twist it than doing it in a hard way
Thanks
doesn't look that good tbh. Her way is better. I think it's the actual way of making candy canes anyways
@@terepi your 100% right
I used to do that and it doesn’t give the larger lines and skinny lines like Heather’s method does. It also gives you a textured candy cane since there’s just two twists.

OHMYGOSH YOU MADE MY SUGGESTION!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!! So happy!
Claire M. Congrats :)
So cute...i will make them in the next Christmas
Nica Ngan Thank you :)
I love your nails! Can you please do a tutorial on how to get that nail design? 💅

I hope they turned out great! If they are small they usually were in 20-25 minutes
All your crafts are amazing! I was wondering if you could do maybe a gingerbread house for Christmas. I'd love to see you make one!
Stephanie Smith Hi Stephanie, I missed doing one this year in charm size :) I am adding it as a suggestion on my candy list under your name though :)
Wow! Absolutely wow! Subbed the moment I thought wow.
Thank you so much
HI there, great tutorial. How do you stop the white and the pink colours bleeding into one another? When I roll my clay together like that the white turns pink because it touches the red, I can never get a crisp white and red look. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!
that's what I experienced last night. Unless you wait till they are hard.
Cutting the red with 1/2 translucent clay made a world of difference. I used the premo brand
Very cute! I just got your pie charm, it's adorable! Thank you so much! ^^
SweetCupcakeSprinkles Thank you so much! I am glad you like it :)
WoW!!!so beautiful!!!!!
황정아 Thank you so much!
Hi Olivia,
I actually go to a nail artist, at a local Salon. Sometimes I make miniature items tiny enough to go on my nails.
+Heather Wells i used t have such a a hard time working with acrylic nails on. i just needed to get the right tools. now my nails actually are little tools them selves. i love your videos be the way!
Love it. TFS!

Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your tutorial for the candy canes! I just made my first ones and am so happy with them! Your video is excellent! :) :)
Thank you so much. I am so glad they turned out good for you
Does anyone here like candy cane because for it it's hard for me to eat it and i really hate eating solid lollipops
Lol.. I think they are pretty… but I don’t eat them either. For those exact reasons. I hate when stuff gets stuck in my teeth
You should do popcorn sometime! I think it would be really cute and not very complicated. Do you think you could do a tutorial on popcorn?
Cali Cute Creationz I do have popcorn on the suggestion list. I hope to eventually get around to just about everything :)
