how i make clay pins! + backing card tutorial (updated version :3) 

I made my backing cards by using watercolor paper and splotching colors on it depending on the pin and cut them with a paper cutter. It saved me money on outsourcing since I don't have a printer.

Jazz music plus crafts is heaven

Paloma, please don't bake your polymer clay for less than the time on the package. It will under-cure which will make it brittle and it will easily snap. Instead, get an oven thermometer and check the temp of your oven to be sure you get right at 275. As long as your oven is below 350 f, you will NOT burn your clay. You can leave it in for 2 hours and it won't burn. I leave mine in for an hour to get a good, strong cure. Then the clay will be bendy and very strong. It will not snap unless you just keep bending it back and forth and back and forth. It will easily last a long time! Baking for less than the allotted time will ruin your work and make it weak and easily break in the future. I tested my oven with the thermometer and learned my oven runs an astonishing 75-80 degrees hotter than the dial! This is why I struggled not to burn things at first. So now, I set it at 200 f on the dial and it's at 275 on my oven thermometer. At this point, I start baking my pieces for easily an hour, but I put the thermometer to 325 so that if the oven was to heat up too much, I will hear an alarm before it gets hot enough to burn my clay. This way if there's a mistake and I put the dial too high, or someone else in my house goes to use the oven and doesn't realize I have clay in, my clay will not get burned. I hope this helps! Your stuff is so cute and I love your videos!

I don't even use clay, I always find your videos so chill and calming plus I feel like you've explained your process really well ☺

I've been wanting to make my clay pins for a while, I have a few I've already baked and one that I've painted and coated with resin, but this definitely gave me a little push to finish them!

Very useful video 😊😊

Lovely video as usual 🤍🤍✨~

I want to try and make clay pins soooo bad! I took a pottery class in college but I want to try just a small clay format!

Love this video and want to try polymer clay. Failed with air dry so thank you so much, love your puppy 🐶 ❤

Que lindo tu perrito ❤❤❤

hiii im gonna try to use air dry clay to make pins as i watch you make yours, so excited!!!!

And which company's paints are better to use?

Hi ☺️☺️ how do you measure the thickness of your clay pins?

How cute is your dog

Can you shine & protect the color of the pin without modpodge and just resin? Approximately how long will the resin layer last???

gorl but this nail color!? i love it, it's beautiful. what color/brand is it?! love your videos! x

These pins are so cute! I always have trouble rolling the polymer clay out because it's tough for me. Maybe I just have weak hand strength lol.

ahh what nail polish color / brand are you wearing? so pretty

ahhh please tell us where you got that shirt at 10:38 !!! it's beautiful!!!

Do I prefer the new coating over the uv resin?

hi paloma!! been a huge fan for yours since 2021.. i was insired to make pins from your first pin making video.. but how to avoid chipping off? i tried making few ones using oven baked clay then used nail resin as coat then super glue for pins then after 2 days the pin is already chipping off along with the paint :(

Can you just use regular arylic paint?

Does normal acrylic paint work too? 😅 I only have that for now and not enough to buy a good set of acrylic gouache 😅

Hiii, does anyone know what kind of paper did she use?

Idk if you know but procreate has a grid you can use

I have a problem with pin backings as we don't have E6000 in the UK and I've used super glue in the past which works temporarily. The back surface of the pins has trouble sticking to the glue and pin backs 😢

Could somone please respond to me with the brand of the topcoat used so i can search for it? Im a little hard of seeing. I appreciate it. :)

12:30 😍😍😍😍😍😍

How thick do you have to roll the clay?

What if I don't have an oven? Is it okay to do it with Hair dryer?

What type of clay you use??

what thickness is it?
