Where do you get you earring backs, jump rings, and other various finding for earrings.

pretty! do you have to use liquid clay or could those pieces be attached after the clay is baked with the regular glue adhesive??

@FernMitchHandmade

Brooke Todd thank you 🥰 absolutely! You can simply add the earring posts with a super glue without adding liquid clay and covering it with clay. I just like the finishing this way because the post is blended on to the earring.

I learned so much watching this! Going to purchase an extruder now! I have recently started baking my posts into the clay and love it, but this liquid clay is very intriguing! What brand is it?

@FernMitchHandmade

Thank you so much for watching 🥰 Yes either sculpey liquid clay or, bake n bond (which is a little thicker) will work really well! Also extruders are amazing! A lot you can do with them.

The cookie cutter is a life saver! Thanks for this :) btw, can I use an oven toaster for polymer clays?

I love your videos!! I tried hoops for the first time today, baked at 275 for 1 hour and then after they cooler I did the clay bending test that I do with other shapes to make sure they are nice and strong and they broke. Do you ever test yours and if so, do you know why they may be snapping?

@FernMitchHandmade

Thank you 🥰 Mine are usually very flexible. I leave hoops in the oven to cool down. Do you use an oven thermometer? Make sure your temperature is correct. Also try leaving it a little longer, maybe because hoops are little chunky it takes longer.

Do we have any other alternative of keeping them in oven?

You can fuse the edges of the hoop together and make a complete circle. This way you won’t lose the shape

Hello girl thanks for your video and Im a new subscriber. And also Im starting to do earrings. You have a very nice earrings. Could You please make more videos and I been having a little problem with my clay I can see it has bubbles when Im trying to manipulate it and also when I put it in the oevn.

@FernMitchHandmade

4 жыл бұрын

Hello 🥰 I’m so glad you are enjoying my tutorials. To avoid bubbles make sure you condition your clay well. Sometimes way too soft clay trap air and create bubbles too! If you have soft clay, leave it on a piece of printer paper for 20mins. It should take off some moisture. If you see some on your raw clay just pop it off with a needle and blend. For baked pieces you can sand it. I hope this helps 😊

@FernMitchHandmade

Most makers do it for at least one hour. Just what we found out from our experiences. As long as you keep your temperature steady around 225-275F (use a thermometer) you cannot burn polymer clay.

It's difficult to see what you are doing because there is a lot of grit on your lens or something. Also, your hands are not on the screen a lot of the time so I can't see what you are doing. Pretty earrings.
