These lady bugs are adorable! They would be perfect decorations for a tea party!
The ladybugs are beautiful artworks. I have to learn how to make some now also. Thank you for sharing your video.
Those are awesome Tom! Thanks as always for sharing what you do!
Tom, very cute lady bugs. And doable even for those of us who are not really very artistic. Your tutorials open doors for us. Thanks!
Soooooo beautiful!!!!! Thank you!!
Love them thank you for sharing
fantastic!!!
So cute!
ADORABLE 🥰
Very cute bugs Mr. Tom. You have the hands of a surgeon
Your very talented!
Remember this: In 1 year, Tom will be the master of clay. He'll be the most famous artist ever.
Fantastic 🐞
I have the Sculpey glaze and it's really nice. It gives it a shine but not overly shiny. Finger nail polish also gets sticky over time for some reason.
So cool Tom.
I like this idea
very cool n awesome job....can't wait to make me a ladybug.....great job, toodles debs in Texas
lol, those are cute, they look like they are on tree-stars that littlefoot has been eating in land before time. I like how you cleverly, yet stylishly swapped the s in bugs with z. It's like tom is reinventing the lady bugs and made lady bugz.
@billyCtv Thank you, thank you! ...."they love you too" =D Thanks for watching!
@TruthSeekingElf No, thank you!! So glad it was useful!!
that's so cute
There very cute.
@songinthesnow Your very welcome!! I'm glad it helped!!
LOV IT :)
@TheBroodingTom You know I will always show my support to your channel. Keep on creating my friend...
Hey Tom! They look great!! =]
No I did not know that, thanks for sharing! =D
Some other glazes you can you is Future floor wax or decoart triple thick glaze. That one makes it super shiny, like glass. But I am sure the Future floor wax can be purchased at your local supermarket or drugstore. I use it on my clay jewelry. Hope that helped. You a truly amazing and very talented. Great job!
@Homemadegameguru =D Thanks! So glad you stopped by!!
what Glace you use for shine the ladybugs. .plzzz
@playjess68 They were fun.. Its GOT to be the simplest thing I made... I think I was zoomed a bit to much though.. Thanks for watching!
You are precise, I have clear nail polish, will use a tip end of a brush for the dots….I think yours will look much better than mine…
Tom, this is awesome work. i hate you (in a good way :) ) You make it look so easy ... thank you for sahring this!
@TheBroodingTom I love them but u use nail polish before or after u bake??? I love them!!!
so sweet and what a nice name in english, ladybugs. AX
@CRAFTSANDSTUFF09 Thanks you! Glad you like them!
Very cute. I tried using clear nail polish to finish my pieces and found that it flaked terribly after a couple of weeks. I have been using Minwax water based polyurethane high gloss and it works wonderfully for polymer clay and cold porcelain pieces.

I use a product called Future Floor Finish. It is an acrylic liquid that is clear and shiny that is used to protect hard wood floors.
Hi, Thanks for your videos ! I have been working with polymer clay for several years but still enjoy watching videos on even the most basic designs because I feel there is always something new to learn. I just wanted to give you a suggestion for your glaze.... Nail polish can yellow over time and sculpey glaze sometimes remains a bit sticky. You should try future floor polish. It's my fav and once it dries you can bake again to set it (I put mine in 15 min @ 200) I Hope you don't mind my advice
@liptontea Thank you I'm glad you like them!
@CraftyGamer About how long for it to get sticky.. thanks for sharing that with me! I'll be paying close attention to the glow frog now, thanks!
What kind of nail polish like a top coat or a strengthening polish ?
@thelolalolazz Thanks, I cant wait to try it!! I got to order it online though.. ..gotta remember to do that!! =o
@curecameron No, I don't mind advice at all!! And I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. I will DEFINITELY try this!! Could you please tell the exact brand of floor polish you use?? I'll try to pick some up for sure!!!
lovely little ladybirds ,love the work you do on them,I had a tumbler b4,,,you can normally get 1,2,And 3 barrel tumblers,they have different grits,course,med fine,and powder polish,they run in cycles,depending on the gemstone rock and its hardness,,normally all same type of hardness in a barrel,with course grit first, for first week,checking through out the week,with water,,same with med fine and the powder polish,,it takes a while,but worth it ,the barrel has to run non stop for each week,apart from when you have to check on them,,I noticed in one of your videos you were thinking of getting one,if I'm right,hope this will help ,they normally come with instructions,anyway, good luck with that too,.
hi tom i am just trying to get into clay can i bake these then put on the clear polish also is this polymer clay? thanks good work i would love to see more bugs or butterflies to put around my garden maybe in top of cane sticks for whimsicle value lol
AWESOME AMAZING CUTE AWESOME ( oh wait i already said that xD ) I LOVE IT!!!!!! U ARE THE BOMB!! xD
naww there soo cute. were do you buy all of your clay and stuff. i live in the u.k and i want to get some cheap stuff . there isent a wall mart here
sorry, but I am from southamerica, could you please explain to me what is sculpey 3 ? Is it hard, soft? I am just starting and I loved this beautiful ladybugs! Thank you!
hi tom, can you plz tel me what kind of clay you used. I'am sorry if its a silly questions, but i'am totaly new to this.
@PolymerCWonderland Oh, thank god!! I was waiting for the "this looks easy" Yay!! Thank you so much!!
el brillo que le das? es antes de hornear y que barniz es? gracias
@48212Art Really? I'm so glad you like this.. thank you!
@JustClayingAround Thanks, I really appreciate it! I'm up to trying anything.. We best learn from each other.. and it's good you want to share your experience.. Thanks!
@ailse491 Yes, you can cook this polymer clay. And lucky for you, since you want to do small bug, they make a small oven made just for polymer clay. I bet even Sculpey has there own brand!! After all, I got their Pasta Machine.. You can spray the whole bug with Shellac [Lowes] Or clear fingernail polish for wet look... although, I'm hearing you can use floor polish (I never used it) I like bugs, I once made a tic!! [first video, at the end..lol] I'll definitely be making more bugs!!
@webkid43 WOW, thanks so much!! YOUR awesome!
@TheBroodingTom thank you so much ^-^
@TheBroodingTom awsome ill check it out. those lady bugs are just soo cute i will steal them mwhahha **steals** haha just kidding ^^
I wanna to use for cake...Decoration?
These are awesome!!! Can u make another contest? i'd love to have the honor of winning something from u :)
@strube1369 Thanks so much!! I'm realizing that I have different kinds of "audience" so easier tutorials, even help videos are important.. There will always be time for entertaining.. but sometimes, I just need keep it simple.
I Want them! Make me some and post them to me! ;D Just kidding but i would buy them :) There cool and i love Lady birds! ♥
@yourwrstnightmare44 LOL xD I was not using any referencing for leaves, which is not really good... I guess I was going for oak leaves.. too funny =P
@learnsports ummm.. not sure lol.. glad you reminded me! I had something sitting in there "eating a dollar" every month.. Think Imma put something up tonight!! Sound good?
Those are really neat!! My sister loves lady bug everything and this would be great to make for her birthday in three weeks! My trouble is how long to bake them? Do you recall the temp and time? I know it says on the package but it's never been quite enuf for what I've made so far. And things end up a bit too pliable. Thanks for any help you can give me! Hugs.
nice leaves. could you leaf me one? I like the shine, it makes them look natural too. have you ever seen a ladybug zoomed in? it's like they have a waxy carapace. btw, epic camera rotation at the beginning, hehe
@TUCKERZONE Thanks, they were fun.... and easy!
Thanks! I think this was the smallest thing I did using polymer clay lol I need to do more things like this.. I think lol
@MsLovin2010 Thank you very much!! =D
@2009ladybugz No problem, thank you for watching!! Cool username btw!
You should make WorldofWarcraft sculptures your really good
@serenabone Will do!! =D
@TheBroodingTom ur welcome!! ur soooo awesome!!
@HALLSYSKITCHEN Thanks! And WOW!! You sure??! Thanks so much!
@4evragz Thank you! ... last bug I made was not so cute.. I made a tic! ...but he was chubby! LOL...
@Ikimification I do follow the same instructions. which are: 275 degrees for 15 minutes per 1/4 inch thickness.. You may want to check your oven and see if the temperatures are correct. If they are still not quite done, you can bake for and extra 5 minutes or so.. it's just going to take some experimenting a little. Trial and error. They make small ovens just for this, you can find them at Hobby-Lobby. (too small for me though lol) Thanks for the Hugs! =D
I like sculpey's glaze, but any acrylic glaze will work for polymer clay.
please list these, the megaman, and the dragon on etsy! i want all three!
@TheBroodingTom yes please please pleas do! i want to buy some of your art... hope you have good prices! is it up yet?

what cute ladybugs! Did you know in the Middle Ages that farmers prayed to the Blessed Lady, Virgin Mary, to save their crops? And the ladybugs came to the rescue. Thus being named “beetles of Our Lady," which are why ladybugs are considered good luck. And if you spot one, it’s believed to bring luck in love, grant your wishes, maybe bring a financial windfall. Boy ladybugs are call ladybugs too, ha-ha. (poor little guys)
@TheBroodingTom sure, just tell me the site and i'll check it out. (i'll tell people about it too)
@jadambi Looks pretty cool place! But I have not bought anything though.. Later today I'm getting glaze, and some colors from them!! Have fun checking it all out!! ....polymerclaysuperstore. com
