WATCH PART 2: • 20 Polymer Clay Tips a...
Hi everyone! Watch in HD :)
In this video I share with you lots of polymer clay tips, tricks and hacks that I have learnt through my own experience and research! Please note that I'm not a professional and that I only do clay as a hobby- it is not a full time job. I have been doing clay for four years so all this is information that I've learnt along the way. This video is aimed at beginners and people who are wanting to start polymer clay, however some more experienced crafters may also learn something new! Some of the information may seem super obvious to some people, but when you're first start out we all know that uncertainty all too well, so I wanted to include everything I could think of in one video for crafters to refer to!
Here is a list of topics mentioned throughout the video:
Mixing colours and brands
Adding eyepins, glitter, toothpicks and other details
Buying polymer clay
Storing your clay
Liquid polymer clay
Securing eyepins
Creating a works surface
Rolling out an even sheet
Creating your own tools
Colouring and shading your clay
How to soften clay
How to harden clay
Using cornstarch
Using sandpaper
Baking your charms
Broken charms
Burnt charms
Painting polymer clay
Cleaning your clay
Glazing your creations

I've got a colour mixing tip for you all: If you want to make a colour darker, don't add black. If you want your, for example, blue to be darker add a little bit of red to it. This will make your blue look more purple and dark and less gray. Of you want your yellow to be darker add a little tiny bit of red. If you want your red to be darker add a little bit of blue to it and so on. If you already darkend your colour with black don't use white to make it lighter, use the same technique as the darkening one, but instead of adding more red to your dark blue, add yellow to it and so on. White and black are technically not colours, so try not to use them too often, only for making your colours less vibrant(more gray-ish) and lightening primary colours. I've learned this trick a few years ago and it made my art look waaay better. I hope I helped you, have a nice day! 😊

It's using the color wheel theory. Adding a one color that is at the opposite part of the wheel to the orginal color makes it darker.

Tip for the cornstarch tip: Don’t use too much, and if you do, dust or wipe it off before baking or else it will show up after you baked it, and it will not come off no matter how hard you try. Don’t ruin your piece like I did!

@fox8748
@fox8748 4 года назад
If you notice your purples, greens, sky blues, and pinks to be muddy or dark, get magenta, yellow, and cyan clay. They're kinda considered to be red yellow and blue, the "primary colors", but red is more pink, and blue is brighter and more green. This helps give you brighter colors when mixing, since the primary subtractive colors (used for painting, drawing, or anything other than light) are magenta, yellow, and cyan.

🙋🏼‍♀️Hello Again Everyone, I have commented on this wonderful video before with some extra tips, but I’d like to add a few more tips for your viewers. I have been a professional, clay artist for over 30 years now and during that time I have made every mistake you can make with polymer clay, but I have also learned from my mistakes and from other artist (like yourself). So I hope that anyone and everyone who really wants to become GREAT at polymer clay with watch your videos and read the comments (like mine). Anyway, my other tips are….you mentioned painting over your clay piece if you burn it, however, you can also sand it off with a low grit sandpaper or nail file. You can also use acetone (nail polish remover) to rub off some of the burnt areas, but be careful not wet the paper towel too much with acetone or you might soften baked the clay too much. Acetone and sanding also work to remove surface dust. Then you mentioned glazing your pieces. Polyurethane is a great glaze to use but make sure it’s not a spray on version because the chemicals used to propel it from the can will make your clay melt and become sticky over time. Another good way to glaze your items is with a UV glaze. It creates a nice hard glaze to the surface of your clay piece. I have a million more tips I’ve learned over the years but just haven’t had the time to put them in a video. But fortunately.y there are wonderful artists like Rachael who will give you wonderful information and ideas and I can just add a few things in the comments. So, I’ll end by saying HAPPY CRAFTING EVERYONE, and Take care, Dee😊

Hi, I am a professional sculptor, and I have been using polymer clays for years. I still learned something from your video here! The corn starch trick is cool. And the polyurethane glaze is a good one too. I rarely glaze my pieces as I generally do realistic figures. I do paint these figures with acrylics. And once they are painted in acrylic you can use clear nail polish over the paint for eyeballs and such. Also, working on a project for Universal, I designed some alien plants that lit up -- long before the film Avatar. I would simply use a translucent Sculpey with light tints of color and build the plants around a grain of wheat LED bulb. As the bulb has wires with plastic on it, I needed to avoid the oven. That is when I discovered that you can harden polymer clay by putting it in boiling water. I still use boiling water when I want to harden globe shapes because these often get a flat spot in the oven. I also find using a heat gun right at my work table when doing multiple cooks on small figures is very convenient. Thanks for you video! Willy Whitten - \\][//

Well done Rachy. :) QUICK TIP: I have chronic pain in my hands and found that the Premo Sculpey through Pasta machine works best for me and the Original Sculpey (really soft and commonly used with kids) if hands really really sore.

How I warm up some clay: Step 1: Place the clay inside a plastic bag Step 2: Fold the bag inside some cloth Step 3: Go to youtube & pick a video Step 4: Sit on cloth/bag Step 5: Once done watching for a few minutes or hours the clay is soft DONE! Tip: You can also have your cat lie down on it since their technically warmer than us XD

New to polymer clay creations here. =) TY for all your tips! Also, you said a glass surface is good to work on. For those who want a larger work space to spread out, I just went to Lowe's and bought a 24" x 12" piece of porcelain flooring tile for $5 and it works wonderfully! Super fast clean up with a spritz of rubbing alcohol and wipe down before or after working on the surface.

@simonegardella7491
@simonegardella7491 7 лет назад
Some tips I've learned; use olive or vegetable oil and clay to make realistic icing, it bakes just fine, after the oven, put your stuff into a bowl of ice water to strengthen, use a sewing pin with the ball at the end poked into a mechanical pen eraser(or tape to a skewer) to make a ball tool. If you are going to buy a few tools, buy a good roller and a blade if nothing else. ALWAYS put a rug under your work station especially with carpet! The clay will be easily mashed into carpet and permanently stain it! Also, no matter what, always wear gloves when working with red clay, it will stain you hands and other clay, and its just terrible.

Yay thank you so much for this! My kids and I just picked it up, we're about to do our second go around. I really love and admire your video because it isn't just telling me about all of these fancy must have products that professionals use. I took notes during the video lol I have almost everything besides glaze sitting around my house. Your voice is also lovely and made this video easy to watch. Keep up the hard work!

Years later & your video is still helping people understand polymer clay. I was looking to see how to make a small figurine. I didn't have a medium in mind & just googled. Yours was the second video I watched and I am so impressed! You did so well! Information is succinct, to the point, but still offering a world of knowledge to this nube. Well done! :-) And Thank you.

I've been trying to get into charm making with clay and got so discouraged because my clay (fimo sample set) was so soft and hard to mold and when I'd go to peel it off my work surface it would warp and lose all it's shape so these tips are so helpful I'm hoping I can get the clay fixed now because it was so difficult to work it as a beginner

Do not use super glue on polymer clay. In time it will degrade and break it. Instead, to secure your pin, just bend it sideways before covering it with clay. That way it won't come off.
