Eyepin Tutorial

Hey everyone!!
In this video, I show you the steps I take to shape my eyepins for my polymer clay charms! You can use wire, headpins like I do, or any off-cuts from your eyepins from after you trim them!
This is just the way I do it, I'm sure there are plenty of other great method out there to use too!

8 years later and your tutorial is still saving many crafters' projects! thank you for this 🙌💓

[@luma406]

I used paperclips to make some and it worked just as well! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@contagiouscuteness1335]

OH MY GOSH THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL! After watching this video I might invest in some wire and round pliers so I don't have to keep buying those small packages of headpins and eyepins because those run out so fast and eventually I'd have to yank sole eyepins out of old charms 😂😂😂 Thank you so much! You're definitely one of my favorite polymer clay youtubers!!! (Ps your charms are adorable- you've inspired me to get back into making charms!)

If you don't mind me asking you which mm size wire to use for making a eyepin as I am unable to find eyepin or head pins in the place where I live.

[@diannerynne3235]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@NinaDelmo]

the wire you used, is it just a wore that can be bought to a hardware or is there a particular wore you use? And thanks for the amazing tutorial ♥

[@SC-cb2pg]

Hi Rachy, could you tell me what size eye pins and also wire you use, I’m very new to making charms because I was so inspired by watching your videos and I have no idea what size or type to get and also what sort of wire.

[@rosewood9033]

There’s these things called Screw pins which work awesome and you can buy them on amazon.

[@tokiyalee5115]

I thought this was gonna e hard but it was so loopy easy!

[@munyjiji]

If i did this with paper clips is it oven bake safe?

[@ntasramaze]

Thanks so much for this! It's so helpful :) what did you use to cut the wire at the end?

[@creativerachy]

nhathiandsanramazing I used the pliers which also have a cutter, but you could use a separate pair of wire cutters :)

[@hwdraj]

We can also put pressure on staple pin to make that

[@zainabali7896]

[@nhimai8890]

thanks so much! i was wondering if you ever had problems of charms coming off their eye pins and how do you resolve it? it leaves me super discouraged when it happens ;~;

[@noobiearandom8177]

Try using super glue or securing it with tls before you bake.Hope that helps!

[@creativerachy]

I use super glue!

[@katelynnnicole973]

Hey I have a question what do you use for your little kawii mouths?

will paperclips do? i dont have much access to craft stores

[@Its.just.mee3]

***** thank you for the comment

[@lindseyrubi2040]

Would regular store bought eye pins work?

[@creativerachy]

Yes that is would most people use! This is an alternative

[@lindseyrubi2040]

Creative Rachy Awesome thanks! Your videos are amazing by the way👍😌

[@laurenhuddleston228]

So helpful I love your vids and I lived you he first video I watched! I would really like it if you did a Mario Galaxy star tutorial!

[@haroonrashid9664]

can I use copper wires for my clay charms

[@creativerachy]

I don't know sorry

[@kidmelton6899]

How far should I put in into the clay? Cus I put mine in pretty far but I hook mine on to a thin ribbon (because I don't have legit necklaces to put the charms on) and they always slip out.

[@creativerachy]

Kid Melton You also have to secure it somehow! I use superglue after baking :)

[@kidmelton6899]

oh, i mean, like the ribbon slips out of the lil thin slit not the clay. but thank you so much for replying!

[@PaolaJulissa]

What gauge is your wire?

[@creativerachy]

Paola Julissa about 1mm? It doesn't say on the packet :)

[@bernadethtanupan-marasigan429]

uwu ... btw i am from 2021 !!! i am soo late in watching this video ... btw i really love ur videos!!! i have 1 question btw ... is it ok 2 use somethings else not pliers bc. i think it worked without using pliers ! soo umm i really hope u make more kawaii charms !!! ahh!!! their sooo cute !!!

[@krutikamat4361]

Tip: If you're using a weaker wire and don't have pliers, skewers work wonders, but they'll leave your hands hurting.

[@FortnitedashBash]

Hi, im on my brothers account but, I want to ask where do u get ur clay from? I get mine from spotlight :)

[@creativerachy]

[@everythingmichelle693]

can i just use paperclips?

[@rajiabegum7782]

Mhm I tried it with a paperclip and it worked out rlly well.

[@ac9174]

Can you use s hooks from loom band?

[@creativerachy]

I don't think they would be strong enough? I don't know sorry, I've never done loom bands
