    @addison blackmon Hi! Please don't use nail polish with Fimo/Polymer Clay because it may react with the clay and become sticky. Fimo also sell varnishes designed to be used with their own pieces and those work very well. They should definitely be glazed after baking, and after the piece is completely cool to touch. Nail polish only works with air-dry clay, which doesn't need baking.

      No wonder the clay I made in the past were always so sticky after a while. Thanks for the tip, now I know why.

    @Sara Pie Thank you! I use the ones which happen to fit with the project I'm making...for instance I always use the cut-off bottle cup when painting, and I use hairspray when dusting glitter or gold dust onto macarons. I don't use the felting glove because it doesn't look good on camera and I have to film all of my felting tutorials :).

    Be careful when removing paints and stains with nail polish remover because it takes the colour out of some surfaces - learnt it from experience

    • @maqaroon

      Emily Ann Bates Yes definitely agree...please test a small surface of your table before using varnish remover.

  • @maqaroon
    @maqaroon  10 ปีที่แล้ว +50

    @Alpaca Craft Yes, that one is very easy, roll the wool together and keep poking from all sides until it becomes a ball. It's important to keep turning as you work so all the sides gets felted evenly. The mouth was made from tiny bits of orange felt, just poke it until attached. The "outline" around the edge of the mouth was made with the needle tip, it happens automatically if you repeatedly poke the edge where two colours meet.

  • @nonchanscreation
    @nonchanscreation 10 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    I think these hacks are really cool, however I wouldn't suggest the transparent nail polish for polymer clay. It tends to get sticky. It may work with some polishes, but it's like 1 out of 10, so it may be not worth it.
    I was pretty impressed with some other hacks though, they're so simple, but yet we don't think about them! I really liked this video =)

    • @maqaroon
      @maqaroon  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for the advice!! I normally work with air-dry clay so I didn't realise nail polish reacts differently on polymer clay. I've added an annotation to the video telling people not to use on polymer.

    • @nonchanscreation
      @nonchanscreation 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maqaroon Thank you! To be honest, I tried out different glazes, and the best for polymer clay are actually... the ones made for polymer clay! I use the gloss varnish from Fimo and it works really well, it doesn't crack and it's never sticky, even during the hotter days!

  • @RavenDarknyte
    @RavenDarknyte 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I wouldn't recommend using nail polish to glaze anything, honestly. Nail polish isn't meant to hold up for years, and it usually yellows and weakens over time. Especially if you're SELLING a piece for actual money, don't glaze using nail polish because the customer deserves a quality piece. you could get an 8oz tub of mod podge for a little more than the price of a 0.5oz bottle of clear nail polish (maybe two bottles if you find a super cheap brand of polish, but honestly that just means you're paying for a lower quality product anyway). plus mod podge can be used on air dry and polymer clay (along with having dozens of other uses outside of glazing) and really is only compromised by super hot/humid climates.
    In short: mod podge does the job better for 1/16th of the price, and can be used for a lot of other crafty things as well since it's basically just fancy glue. the only reason for using nail polish is if you just want a quick finish on a piece you aren't looking to have last a long time

    • @aquaticllama7719
      @aquaticllama7719 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can use clear nail polish to glaze your AIR DRY CLAY not POLYMER CLAY or any type of oven baked clay. Some countries don't have mod podge. If you use clear nail polish on polymer clay it will make it sticky, but for air dry clay it's fine. I used it for my air dry clay creations and it worked just fine

      It will also remove the finish!!! Never use acetone on anything except nails!!!!! Just put down newspaper if you don't want paint on your surface. Or wipe the paint up immediately after any spillage. Acrylic paint is only water resistant once is dries. But it also dries to a plastic like consistency that can usually be peeled off of.

    • @labellelace

    • @maqaroon
      @maqaroon  10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      When I was really young (like 8-9) I glazed my pieces with a clear pink nail polish that smelled like raspberries :P. I still miss that, they don't sell them anymore. Btw, some commenters just pointed out that nail polish should not be used on polymer clay. I only ever used it on air-dry clay so it works fine for that.

    • @mickeyminecraftgirl6077
      @mickeyminecraftgirl6077 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @maqaroon

      +liliana Escobar Yes it can, which is why I advise people to test it out with small patch first ^_^. A lot of "wood" tables are actually synthetic plastic designed to look like wood, so polish remover won't be a problem. The only tables that are at risk are heavily varnished, solid wood tables, and it's probably not a good idea to use those (usually expensive) tables for painting/crafting in first place :P.

    Very helpful. I use some of these when I paint. All I can think to add though is the obvious, and that's clean it up while it's dry! Until it dries, acrylic paint is water soluble. That being said: I have found that typically when it is dry, if it is stuck to plastic, varnished wood, or other things that you can't use nail polish remover on, you can sometimes get it up with rubbing alcohol, by carefully scraping it up with a plastic edging tool or spatula (not metal, that will scratch the wood) or even with a pencil eraser, depending. The pencil erasers with the blue bit that can supposedly erase pen ink has saved my wooden desk many many times from acrylic spills. Hope that helps!

      Yes, very good points :)! I've been using acrylics for a really long time and it was only this year that I had the experience of accidentally letting some paint dry on a table which wasn't supposed to be used for crafting XP. So I was really relieved to find that the polish remover worked, though it probably would have come off with alcohol or chipping it with my nails. Next time I will have to try the eraser trick too!

      I have been painting forever myself, but sadly I own cats, and they like to sneak into my studio and mess with things. I came in once to find a trail of green footprints across one table. I ended up leaving it since it was cute, though. XD I will say this about the eraser, it works best on thin spots! But for a little dry smudge it works pretty well. Thankfully only one of my tables is wood now though. The others have glass or stone tops for sculpting, much easier to clean.

    There are a lot of people allergic to latex so the latex glove problem can be resolved by buying disposable vinyl gloves. Costco used to sell them and may still do so. You can get a large box that will last you a long time. I really enjoyed this video- thanks for sharing your tips! :-)

    Please use a glass container/actual cleaning jar instead of plastic water bottles! Plastic bottles are really bad for the environment and glass jars are reusable and have the same benefits! :)

    • @aquaticllama7719
      @aquaticllama7719 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Well, the plastic bottles are reusable too. Glass and plastic can be recycled to basically glass or plastic is safer to use for the environment

    • @gracie778
      @gracie778 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Techincally you can reuse the plastic bottle instead of throwing it away ...

    • @Forestsong734
      @Forestsong734 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      But if you do throw it away then it won't fully decompose or whatever. Idk if glass does that too, but it's bad for the environment

      You're not supposed to use it on real wood table! Only those plastic table with a wood pattern. That is what macaroon did. She even says it in the description.

    @bonslydapokemon2838 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm sorry but those were horrible reasons why you use Evian bottles. Every other water bottle has those Same attributes as that water bottle so it is *clearly* the exact same as any other stinkin water bottle

I don't mind if some people want to criticise things because it's impossible to cater to everyone's tastes so I simply aim for whatever the majority will enjoy.
