I recently decided that I want to try making some clay earrings for my etsy shop but didn't know much about the materials I should use so thank you so much for this video!! It was super helpful :)
I’m starting to get into clay earrings and reading every article and watching every video I can find on it but this video is by far the most helpful, organized, and just very well put and easy to understand so thank you so much!! ❤ you’re earrings are adorable btw 🥰
love how well structured this whole video is! and its so so easy to understand! thank you for all your tips and i love love all the lil earrings and sculptures you make
This was such a lovely video!! :) I never did clay earrings, only shrink plastic ones, but would love to try in the future, so it was super nice to hear a little more about your experience 💛🥰🌼
I've been making earrings/pins since quarantine, but only for myself, and maybe to gift a friend. But now, that I finished high school, I decided to start making them for sale, since it's something I really like doing (and I'm now a broke unemployed person, so if gives me joy and money, great!). This video helped me a lot, I was looking for the right materials and the careful steps I have to take. Thank you so much, and also, your earrings looks all so amazing!! I would love to buy them someday 💕
i love these so muccchhh my inner child is so happy @ your designs. also the bending tricks are so helpful, you made me realize i do all the "don'ts" 😅😂
meg i love you so much right now. ive been designing earrings to make to sell for a bit now. tysm! (so sad i couldn’t pick anything from the shop update! next time for sure!)
Good morning! I am super late to the party LOL I just found your video and it's very informational and was very interesting to watch. Your jewelry is so cute and I love it! A couple of things... have you ever tried Triple Thick as a clear coat? It's water-based, non-toxic and brushes on with a brush.. it's incredibly thick and beautiful. One coat looks like resin! It's what I use for painting rocks and it has worked beautifully for me. It comes either in a little tub or in a tall bottle, and I found that weirdly the tall bottle works considerably better for no reason that I can ascertain LOL. My second suggestion was regarding the jewelry glue that globs all over... The Eileen's jewelry glue...could you take a syringe (without a needle obs) and cut the tip of the glue bottle to fit the syringe into it...insert the syringe into the glue bottle draw and out like half a syringe full of glue and then use the glue from the syringe to apply it to your jewelry? Does that make sense? I do this with a lot of supplies that have ridiculous applicators...
Yay!! So fun to catch this video just as it comes out! I always wondered how people have such clean looking charms while mine always get these weird random fibres in them T_T! Usually applying 2 layers of a base coat helps but still.. Maybe my working space could be even cleaner? hmm
i think most of the fibers come from your hands, so you might want to clean your hands with rubbing alcohol or something similar before starting. idk, i had the same problem and it made a huge difference for me. hope this helps :)
ahh thank u for this awesome awesomee video. i’ve tried clay sculpting before but i only made little clay magnets that i ended up liking. :’•) i think with your tips i will want to try making clay jewelry again!!
Megan, I love your videos so much! I have a question about the sealer you use. I know some time has passed since this video was made and I am wondering if you have seen any problems with the sealer you mentioned in this video. I want to get into earring making and I am trying to seal them also without yellowing over time. I appreciate you so much for sharing such wonderful information.
I love this. I’m just watching. I’m lazy this won’t ever happen. I will buy people’s art lol I love to support. I will definitely donate to your kofi. I have one for my podcast, look for toofullofkulutur podcasts donation that will be me buying you a coffee. Great video ✌🏾
I use triple thick right now because I'm poor and it's all I got, but man THE PET HAIR... the pet hair u_u I will try this glaze when I'm able to get it next. Very interested in processes.
@@MeganWangart It might be good I think for flat pieces? But I make little figures and it can be kind of a hassle. It can get kind of lumpy or sticky if you're not careful in how you apply it. Yea, three cats & two dogs, so hair is everywhere! I usually use an air can to clean the space first but alas... (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖
💕Your video is very informative, thank you sooo much. Do you have a printed list of the products you like to use? I would appreciate it. This is all new to me.😊
Your earrings are so cute!! Thank you for taking the time to explain your process in great detail, I'm definitely going to use this as a guide when I make my own earrings one day. :) I can't get the brand of primer you use in Australia (and shipping is crazy expensive lol), so do you have any recommendations for other primers that are suitable for air dry clay? Thank you!
i thought abt trying to make mini air dry clay sculptures lately but i was overwhelmed with where to start. and i was always curious abt your process in your vlogs/tiktoks so this video was very helpful and concise hehe thank you!!
yes!! I get it from www.etsy.com/shop/SnapJewelryShop?section_id=33825269 here! I think they're out of stock right now but I get my sealer from this etsy store :)
Thank you for the video, it was super informative! I'm not sure if you wanted this, but I have a couple recommendations for inspo for new types of earrings: @naivete.craft on insta makes these really cool (bunny-themed) earrings that I'm pretty sure are printed plastic(?) with beads and pompoms Maybe you could try your hand at hoops? @et_toi_paris on insta makes these baby hoops with metal and acrylic(?) charms, but I think clay charms could work too. Lately I've been seeing mobile earrings - earrings that look kind of like baby mobiles. As in, the earrings will have two (or maybe branch and have three or more) parts that are attached at the top and with beads or charms dangling at the bottom. This isn't a great explanation and I don't have any specific examples of shops, but if you search up 'mobile earrings' on google images they show up. Anyway, sorry for the long comment (I think this may be my longest youtube comment?), but I hope this is a little helpful!
Wow thank you so much for your comment! I love naivete.craft but I don’t know the other account and will definitely look more into mobiles and stuff! Thank u sm 🥺❤️❤️❤️
