YeppenTube Ep 2 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
hi there! 🌼 if you're curious about more polymer clay tips, I recently shared a short Q&A that addresses specific questions, like types of glaze! th-cam.com/video/pWDJB13u-uk/w-d-xo.html
can i use my regular cooking oven for baking if i still intend on using it to cook meals? ive heard i have to use a seperate oven due to fumes making the ovens no longer suitable for cooking in but ive asked many chanels if thats true, non of them have answered me
To help with dust, hairs fingerprints etc. use a q-tip with rubbing alcohol and gently go over the problem area. Works like a charm. Great video.
100th like
Will hand sanitizer work?
can this be done after going thru the oven?
Thx! I was worried about that. I have zero experience with clay so 😅
Instead of rubbing alcohol can I use sanitizer or water????
I taught polymer clay for years professionally, this is a good source video. The only info I would add is that rubbing alcohol (I use a lower strength) is great to take out fingernail marks, dust, dirt etc prior to baking. Use a q-tip and gently rub. Also I find a smooth ceramic tile a must because you can create on it and then pop it in the oven and it bakes great. I have some videos for different types of projects I'd love for you to pop over and see. (I do paper and clay projects) You have a wonderfully accessibly and clear way of instruction and your video is full of solid information that gives the beginner a good grasp of the medium. Well done!
do you use the rubbing alcohol after the clay is baked or before?
@@leeann8105 I believe its used before baking while the clay is soft. It is used to smooth the clay. Because you don't want to use water
Do you pull the item off the tile and put it back on the tile to bake? Or will it come off fine once it bakes?
@@monicab28 it comes off fine once it is baked and cooled. Baking on a tile does make the surface that's on the tile shiny, however if that bothers you parchment paper can be put between the item and the tile, mostly I just cook right on the tile.
where would someone find a class to learn this? asking since you said you taught it. :) craft stores? art colleges? just wondered if there is a place for a person to go learn. Also, as I was reading about the clay in an article, it talked about toxic fumes from baking and maybe the need to clean your oven afterward. Is there another idea for this because I would worry about this for sure. It might be a deal breaker if I have to worry about toxic fumes in my house or cooking in an unsafe oven. I'm sure you have heard this so curious what you might recommend. Thanks so much!!
Smol tip: if youre going to glaze your art piece i recommend using Mod Podge (idk how to say it) like the white glue if you let it sit for a while it will give a glaze texture or use clear nail polish!
I think most white glue / pva does work so maksure to expirement!
My girlfriend and I just got into making polymer clay critters and this video helped a lot. Thank you!
I used to love playing with clay growing up, & have some arriving tomorrow. Super excited to build 'Mushroom Land' again. It's so cool that you can over bake the art projects to make them more long lasting. Thanks for the 101 for beginners video 🙏🏼
Good luck & have fun! 🍄🍄🍄
This was amazing and I genuinely loved it. ADHD Crafting hit me hard and I want to make some clay pieces for DnD Mini figures. This covered every single question I had about going into this.
I’m so happy to hear, and I hope you got to make a lot of cool things! 💛
Is adhd Crafting a thing
@@abigailmojica3025in a sense, yes. As someone who has adhd myself, people with adhd tend to jump from hobby to hobby really fast and its call 'fixations' where someone with adhd craves dopamine (which is a chemical reaction in your brain that causes the emotion happiness) and finding a lot of hobbys that you enjoy is a good way of getting dopamine.
ADHD hyper focus can lead one to learn many things. This is why I'm here myself.
Thanks for so many helpful tips! I bought myself a little “get started” polymer clay kit six months ago, but I’ve been too nervous to start! I feel much more prepared and I think I’ll take the plunge and start playing with the clay today. I also love your art! Those little ghosts are sooooo cute ❤
Am just starting out and your intro was perfect: informative, to the point, and with very practical tips. Your delivery is very relaxed and still professional. Well done; thanks!
My favorite part of this video is I'm watching it so I can try to make a korok and you held up the korok and it made me so happy.
Excellent and to the point info covering all the bases for a beginner!!! VERY well done! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
this video has such warm, comfy, peaceful vibes. loved my 5 minutes 14 seconds
This was very beneficial! I’m wanting to start my own Etsy shop for this type of clay making! Thanks ❤
I love how quickly you got right to the point and covered so many different important aspects of getting started concisely. Thank you so much for this video
brief and straight to the point. thanks!

Thank you. I just wanted to find the most basic 101 info in a concise video, and you delivered. I appreciate the effort you made to create this.
For me, acetone after baking fixes rough spots better than sanding, and it is pretty easy to get cause most nail polish removers contains it and there are some of them that are 100% acetone based. Great video, thank you for it!
I needed this video SO MUCH ❤😭 i love your editing style !!
I'm so so happy to hear this 🥰 Thank you

It's so much fun! I hope you can try soon! 💛
Omg, THANK YOU! I just started and I thought I was the only one having issues with the dust, since I didn’t see a single video with people talking about it. Very helpful!
I totally get it! I recently started using rubbing alcohol to remove some dust, and that is a great solution as well!
Thanks for this! I purchased all the products but have been too intimidated to try it out lol you made it seem more simple and beginner friendly ✨
You can do it! Rooting for you in your new clay journey 💖
Thank you so much for the advice Yeppenny! For Christmas this year I've asked for Michael's gift cards because I want to go HAM on buying polymer clay. I've tried both air-dry and oven-baked Sculpty. This will be more experimenting and having fun with another type of clay.
SAME i also asked for michaels gift cards 😂 you have to update me on how your experimenting goes!!
thank you this was so helpful!!!!!
Thank u so much, that was really helpful
Great video! Thank you!
Very very helpful!!!! Thank you very much!!!
this was very helpful tysm
Your advice is very helpful and your hat is very cute.
I'm so happy to hear that, and thank you!
Great editing on the video! Very informative!
Thanks, Amber! 💛 During one of my streams, you mentioned a lot of points you'd like to see in a clay basics video, and I tried to incorporate here!
Hi thank you for this video, I haven't used oven baked clay since the early 80s and I am very much looking forward to getting back into it. Your video had lots of good advice. I have subscribed and looking forward to watching your other videos.
I’m so glad! Rooting for you and your clay journey! ❤️
Thank you! This is very helpful :D
Why are you so gorgeous and talented and amazing?! You make me want to try my hand at clay!!! Loved this video!!!
no u! 💖 thank you for watching, lovely! 😊
I'm a beginner.. thank you for the tutorial...I hope I can apply it..
❤️ the video. I want to learn using clay into my art. Thank you!
You can do it! 😊
This is the video i needed! Randomly just popped up in my feed. Ty yt algorithm
yall are ✨SAVIORS✨
...another thing that helps with making it less sticky anywhere is dust it lightly with corn starch ....looking forward to see more of your art adventures
Thank you, I found the video very helpful & your 'critters' are very cute
You can also use sandwish/freezer bags so that the clay doesn't stick to the suface too, make sure that the edges are secured so they don't move though.
Thanks for the great tips! I’m looking to pick up a new hobby and this video was super helpful 🙌🏻 just followed your insta to stay updated on the progress and inspiration ✨
Thank you! Rooting for your new crafting hobbies!
For dust, hair, lint, etc. I go over all of my charms with a q tip dipped in acetone. I have two cats and it has saved so many of my poly clay charms!
Also if you have a pasta machine that is another easy way to mix colors. Stick them together and run it through a few times and it'll mix them quickly and easily.
do you go in with acetone before or after you bake the clay?
@Miranda Jorgens after baking. Some people do it before, but I find it way easier afterwards.
Thanks✨
Your art looks very cute!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
For storing clay out of its package, you could use parchment paper
This video helps to Make a high quality clay i really wanted to make the Mommy long legs doll Thanks you so much i loved your Videos ❤
ty
K, those tiny ghosts are too cute!
Yay I was sub 740! Your channel is definitely going to blow up!
Aw thank you so much :') I'm so happy to go on the journey together!
Thanks for posting this. Next month I’ll be buying so much stuff to learn how to do clay art. I want to learn it as a hobby and then if I’m good enough maybe make it into a business. I’m so excited to just start for myself. 😂❤😊
I’m excited for you! 💖
can you make a video on sculpting techniques???? and how to best roll clay if i want diff colour in… for example, the hat shown in this video!
Loved the video, thanks! I’m doing my first clay kit and this was helpful. I hope to use real clay products and techniques in the future.
I’m excited for you!! 😊
Try parchment or wax paper instead of foil, it's semi transparent so you have some idea of what color the clay is. You can go a bit further by squishing the clay into patties and wrapping the clay like a 'taco', and then put that into a ziploc bag. This helps keep my clay fresher but doesn't let it stick to the clear bag as easily.
Clay is so cool, such a great creative approach!

3:25 yay a korok (thats the name of the creature the container was referencing)
Which clay moulds should be used? Silicone moulds or plastic cutters?
You're amazing. Very nice voice and whole video. The tips were very helpful to me. I'm starting with polymer clay and I was looking for a video like yours, so... thank you again! :) Sorry for my English, I'm from Poland haha
Thank you! And your English is great!
@@yeppennydoodles thanks :))
Very helpful and thank you for this tutorial!!! Can you bake the clay in a new wave oven?
Hey! I just wanted to say thank you for the great video. Easy, fast and so cute! I’m on my way to get my clay kit! 💕
I'm so happy to hear this! Rooting for your clay adventures!
I just started. I don't have a pasta machine yet and I'm not willing to invest until I see if I'm gonna stick with it. (ADHD). However, I got a cheap extruder off of Temu and found that is very helpful for conditioning the clay on the cheap. I just roll a ball into a rope and then extrude it once or twice with the biggest hole plate and it's soft and ready to work with. Very helpful. :)
I hope you have fun making clay! 😊
Make a part 2 plsss
I've found using isopropyl alcohol on a qutip helps get dust and lint off before baking the clay
I'm new to this. Where does the dust come from?
What's a good base to use when you put the clay in the oven?

whats the best clay to use for placing on top of preexisting figures? i personally want to add clay on top of a 3d print, the print is a standard resin base
Small tip: If your clay is hard put it in warm water to make it soft enough to mold easily. But do not put it in for too long because it will get too soft and stick to your hands and desktop and will leave a mark.
