Yeah she's right, google polymer clay art. There are some insane trippy shit, technique wise they are extremely complex. She's really good at making very cute stuff though.
I've been claying for about 2-1/2 yrs now and knew about some plastics not working with clay and you know it wasn't till I saw those screw together containers I realised I had them with clay bits in them, I knew most were wrapped up in cling wrap but not sure all were, I checked them, luckily they hadn't done much but they were starting the top layer peel, so they were taken out. And the hot glue trick, never thought about that, that's brilliant. I love watching all types of tutorials because you never know what you'll pick up, any craft really, amazing hints and tips, thanks so much 💐
Thank you! What about the temperature and the timing for small charms?I saw that you cover them up with alluminium foil..it prevents from burning the pieces?
Your videos are just so so helpful! Thankyou so much for sharing what you have learned. Cant tell you how much i personally appreciate the honest tips and knowledge you are so happy to share. I hope you do well from your creations, you deserve to. Xx
I didn't realize you could transfer pencil lines to the clay! I usually try to make a shape and cut it with scissors, but I can never get it right. Also, the hot glue mold idea is brilliant! I need to give that a try! Quick question: Regarding using molds for patterns (like the waffle pattern) is using water instead of corn starch OK? I saw someone using water to prevent sticking, but I'm worried that might cause problems...(Also, corn starch is very messy, and my "studio" is my room.)
great tips. I learned a lot here :) hot glue mold is genius, it's also got me thinking about using that to make texture stamps for interesting textures on clothes and the like. I'm just getting into clay modelling (I've 3d modeled for years on the computer mostly in Zbrush so I'm finding the transition to working with real clay not too bad tbh) regarding the mooning in the translucent clay, if it's sweat that causes it couldn't you wear latex gloves when working with it?
Lol! I have hundreds of dollars invested in polymer clay and tools. Then I wanted to go to the next level....and found resin...with polymer clay! Well...there went a few hundred more on new tools, resins and molds! It just doesn’t stop! Lol good luck and have fun in your endeavors!
@@Emily-dz2gy No, I meant to say genius. Ingenious is another word that can also be used, but to say something is genius is a proper use of the word in an informal setting which this is. I meant what I said but thanks.
I used to play around with polymer clay a lot but it’s been about 3 years, seeing this video I think I’ll pick it up again because I really miss it I think I originally dropped because I thought I didn’t have the talent for it but now I’m thinking I might’ve just started off with a difficult brand of clay..anyways thank you this video was very helpful
I’m definitely not a beginner, but some of these tips I haven’t even heard of before (like making a bed of corn starch for the clay and using pearl clays) and I’m so excited to try them!! I also agree that it’s so fun to take out a tray filled with charms!
I didn’t know that polymer clay is oil based! The more I know! I work with painting, and sometimes I use air dry clay. When you mentioned that polymer clay is oil based, I realized that polymer clay is like oil paint, while air dry would be watercolor, or acrylic paint!
Man I gotta thank you so much for that tip about using foil in bigger pieces! I almost couldn't believe how light my pieces came out! I never would have thought to do that in a million years. I've only been crafting for a couple of weeks yet I feel like I'm already making professional looking stuff, thanks so much for all the tips
I rarely leave comments when watching these types of videos, but this was so well done! Thank you for all the tips! Most of these were great and unique tricks you don't hear over and over again on other channels.
pastuh jUst if you do you different brands together make sure when you bake them to bake at a lower temperature than they say for longer so nothing burns
LD F oh no just a normal oven and the clay will say a how high it needs to be an how long you need to cook it so I usually cook it at a lower temperature for longer so nothing gets burned is that makes sense :)
i've never heard of quenching improving strength, but it DOES improve clarity! if you're using a whitish, pearl, and especially translucent, quench your charms. translucent has a tendency to come out kind of yellowish (if you're not adding any other clays to it) and quenching will help make it whiter. i made some pearly white beads using translucent to go with some blue beads, and after baking, the white was yellowish. i quenched them right away and they turned out a nice cool white
Hi Rachel, I was wondering if you could make a video talking about your production line? I enjoy the behind the scenes videos, but you dont really mention the quantities, process and production time per collection. Like do you make 80 pieces in two days or something like that?
Wow! An amazing tutorial for a first timer using polymer clay. I love the way you have made the tutorial easy to follow. I love crafting, so I’m looking forward to having a go at this craft. Wish me luck x
From a Noobie I just want to say thank you for these awesome tips. I was going ooohhhh . . . .ahhhhhhh as I was watching this video. I am so going to use these ideas in my upcoming projects.
Couldnt have been timed more perfectly, I just binged some of your stuff last night and thought about pulling my polyclay out xD currently waiting for my first sophie and toffee order haha
Hi, I'm barely starting to work with clay. I wanted to ask, how can I make sure I don't stain the colors? I can't seem to keep the color off my hands :(
I've finally decided to have a go at doing this. I'm pretty much of a person who loves to any types of arts and crafts. Thankyou for your informative vlog. I didn't realise that there's so many headings when it comes to doing this. I'm impressed with your other vlogs that you also done. Keep up with your great work and I look forward to seeing other creative things you come up with. Have a great week too. 😀
I've been watching polymer clay videos for, like, ten years, and I'm finally trying it out myself! I never thought I was a very artistic person but I feel like this is something I'm good at! Thanks for the tips, I've already used so many of them
Great tips! Have you one to stop colour transfer from clay to hands and back onto other coloured clay? Particularly with reds and black it seems to stain my hands, yet whenever I watch videos the craftsman's hands never seem to suffer this problem and I've never seen it addressed.
"in no way am I a professional"...proceeds to show a massive forest scene and I'm sitting here totally blown away. What. You ARE professional. You have a very talented gift.
Loved the video very infomative and easy to understand and I learnt a lot. Love your videos. Can't believe that creating polymer clay things is a hobby for you, you seem you really enjoy it. Is a passion of yours? I love all your videos. Grace
I have just started polymer clay and love it you Creative Rachy you have been so helpful i love watching you vids you have inspired me so much i just want to say thankyou
Thank you. I leaned a lot. I use polymer clay to make medallions on the journals I make to sell at a local gallery. I'm looking forward to trying the glue mold as well as others in your video.
Question....how do you clean the clay once your figure is shaped and there's teensy bits and hair or dust etc? I'm always amazed how perfectly clean and flawless your pieces and other stuff look with no fingerprints or specks of anything.
I’m a beginner, exactly the tutorials I needed. Could you please give the name of all the oil you are using, please? Thanks for all this information! X
I’ve tried using powder mould releasers in the past and have had problems with them actually becoming stuck on and permanently baked into the clay. Have you ever had this and how would you go about avoiding it?
Rachel:in no way am I a professional at clay
Me:you’re joking right?
HONESTLY............ ._.
Right?

GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO!
Hi Christine
Muy buenos tips. Me tocó aprenderlo a experoencia...😬
You're sweet to share this with us ^-^

What is the best clay in your opinion if we can’t bake it
Very helpful video
How would you make a base for big creations other than foil?
I'm not sure where else to post this but what size eye hook do you use for your charms? Thank you!
Can we use flour instead of corn starch ?
Genius
Idk if quaking is a good idea usually if things go from hot to cold very quickly they're more likely to break correct me if I'm wrong tho
Lovely 😊
Will a piece getting wet after baked ruin it?
Where do you get fimo clay?
How much temprature we need to bake ?
Does anyone know if you can bake NARA clay?
can you also use a toaster oven to bake the clay?
Yes :)
How can I get it and from where ??
Wow
Wow so many you have to do
Hi you sound Australian I was just wondering where you got your clay from as I'm having trouble finding a variety or even white at the moment
꿀팁 감사!
Can these polymer charm can be hardening without baking them?
My house have no oven sob sob😂
@Clay Art Etc ouh thanks🥰
Can i use pan instead? i dont have an oven 😭
Me: not into clay
*watches this video and buys 400 dollars worth of clay and supplies*
FUUUUUUUUUUUU
(this is amazing and informative, thank you)
P Worley that’s literally what I’m about to do :0
Rawr Attack: me too!

Me too I also found resin and resin molds. $$$$ Thanks Clay! Hehehehe.
Omg that is soooo something I would do!!! Thanks for the smile!!!
Thank you so much for these great tips!!!
Rachel how are you NOT a professional? You handle clay like you were born to.
The 73 Dislikes Are From The Microwave
Bahahahahahhahahh
No all 93
😂😂😂😂😂😂 how can you not like like this video
no all 112
@Hazelnut Bites no its 114 rn
That hot glue mold is genius.
Unless you paint your charms with acrylic paint afterwards!
@@anobody8935 use some soap and water to clean the spray off.

I totally felt the same way! The dust and particles that adhere to my clay used to drive me nuts until I watched this video!

The corn starch method really works unless using Kato. It will weaken Kato for some reason. :( Baking soda beds work better for that brand.
Yeah Harper melody simone

Another tip....”playing” with polymer clay helps me with my arthritis! Keeps my hands nimble!
That’s a nice tip I actually have arthritis
Gonna be honest, got a little freaked out there 2:42

She has a video for it
To bake how long is it and what temperature?
Oly Bonita it should say on your clay package maybe look on the back.
Not a beginner I’ve been doing clay for 6 years now but some of these will still super helpful
I plan to do miniatiures, around 2x2 cm
Maybe you can suggest which brand/type to use?
pastuh I use lots of different brands the the best thing to do starting out would be to get softer clays
pastuh jUst if you do you different brands together make sure when you bake them to bake at a lower temperature than they say for longer so nothing burns
I'm new at this do you use a kiln
LD F oh no just a normal oven and the clay will say a how high it needs to be an how long you need to cook it so I usually cook it at a lower temperature for longer so nothing gets burned is that makes sense :)

I don't have a set time and limit. I could make 2 charms one day and 50 the next- it really depends on what I can be bothered to do :)

You just have to wash your hands between use with soap, or use the lighter colours first :)
In our household we use babywipes for a lot of things, occassionally even a babybutt...but they are great to clean your hands in between colours too 😉

Hi. Im not a pro, but if you put on rubber gloves, it can help avoid fingerprints without mixing the fimo clay with another clay
Yeah I know that but I think you're more precise without gloves bcuz you can feel the clay if you get me

The hot glue mold is priceless!!!!! Thanks so much!!!
I picked up polymer clay after I lost access to my stone clay studio. Thanks for the educational videos! You're keeping my sculpting flame alive :)

Should you add shading before or after you bake them?
