Hi Lisa…your videos have been super helpful since I have started with my jewellery making business. I’m using loctite gel based super glue as well as suggested in this video and I’m also giving it 24 hours of cure (not touching them) to be on safer side but lately I have seen some of the components still coming off. I’m not yet into resin, wondering what could be the reason.
Thank you so so much for taking the time to help out the clay community! Especially those of us who are just starting out. 🖤
You're so kind to share all these things and helping us learn get better 🥺 a BIG THANK YOU! I hope you grow and succeed 10 times as much as you're helping us grow ❤️
i just started trying my hand out at using polymer clay and your KZread channel is my go to for every single question I’ve had so far! So helpful and you’re so adorable too!
So helpful! Just ventured into polymer clay jewelry and made some hoops and s-curve type earrings with beads, but definitely want to try studs. Thank you!
Happy to see you back! And right on time! I've been trying to get the hang of earring backings and was just about to give up on it. Thanks for this! So helpful 😊
Thank you for this video! I have been struggling to find a good way to adhere my posts to the earrings that I’ve been making. I’m glad I found your channel I can’t wait to learn helpful tips and tricks from your videos.
Omg you are back!! Girly, you have inspired me to start making clay earrings, so thank you!! One request, please make a video on how to mix clay for custom colors. Ya girl is struggling!! Any who, can’t wait for more videos!! ✨💓
I use the gorilla super gel glue! It's so strong! Also it helps if you use a backing with a larger surface area for a strong seal. I use 8mm and 6mm backs depending on the size of the stud :) thanks for the video

Thank you. I'm learning so much. It's like a secret on little steps. Through trial and error I finally get it but I make a lot of mistakes. Mistakes add up.
This was super helpful. Thanks so much!
It's been soooo looong. The long wait is over ❤️
Tell us please where do you buy your gold plated hooks!✨ You should open an etsy shop for all of the supplies needed to make jewelry. Really love your designs.
Good for you going to the effort of using Final Cut Pro! That is huge!!! And thank you so much for a great tutorial! 👏👏👏
Very happy to see you back..... Waiting for your video in last few months....... 😀👍

Thank you. Are you going to UV coat the entire earring or just leave the back? Great informational video.
Thank you so much, for your videos they are so helpful.
Thank you! The information you share with the PC community is super valuable. Can you recommend the best companies to purchase earring posts/backings from?
Thank you! Would you do a video on assembly? Would love to see your process. Thank you again!
Can you recommend which earring backings/rods are best? There are so many to choose from! I worry about skin sensitivity and over all quality.
Super useful video! 😃
Thank u very much for this very useful tips. ❤

I have used Sculpey bake and bond to adhere them and I'm having some pieces where they are coming apart after I have baked them. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your advice.
Welcome back and enjoyed the tips. So far I've only used the liquid polymer clay with a thin layer of regular clay, but my blending technique is not that great at the moment.

hi beautiful, happy that your back! your videos have taught me so much, ive missed you. i was wondering if you’ve made a video about this or answered it anywhere else but how do you properly put on a french hook? i’m having trouble with the earring looking almost as if it was backwards. also, i know you said in a previous videos you like to get your findings from other small businesses on etsy, would you mind sharing which ones your recommend? ✨

If I’m using Sculpey oven bake clay glue to paste the stud, should I paste it before sanding and shaping or after?
Awesome video thanks x
Great video thank you
This video was so helpful. I personally like using glue to attach the earring post then I cover it with some polymer clay and bake it to give it a clean look.

Baked clay if you attached raw clay then can you tell me how much time we need to bake...
Thanks for such a thoroughly informative video. This will greatly help on my next project. On a side note....what kind of plant is behind you ? It's incredible ❣
Another thing to consider that you might not know about epoxy resin, is that some brands recommend you don't mix less than 2 oz because it will not cure properly so another reason why it's not the best for jewelry making. The only reason I know this is because I do resin art and make clay jewelry
Ok this is amazing 👏🏼 Thank you so much for being willing to share all of your knowledge about this! You’ve helped me so much with learning more about creating polymer clay earrings! One thing I’m struggling with is finding earring posts that are hypoallergenic. Specifically ball earring posts and French hooks that are the right shape! If you have an recommendations that would be so helpful!!!!!
❤️Hello again!!... Thanks for posting this. I was actually wondering about this subject the other day. So this video help Soo much. Also, can I give you an advice?. *For future videos let people know with a disclaimer about the dangers of using Resin. A lot of people are beginners and don't know about it until they get a bad reaction from fumes like me. Those fumes are lethal, please use proper ppe, mask, gloves and I beg you don't use it in your house. Resin was a passion of mine until it nearly killed me. 🙏🏾💞Many blessings sent your way.
For the liquid clay technique do u have to make sure your peice is baked already or not ?
15:28 Can put the earring post in polymer clay before you initially bake it? So you don’t have to add the extra clay, resin or glue.
I would love a tutorial on how to attach a ball stud post 😁
Thanks for your advice!! Can you tell us what size jump rings or range of sizes make the most sense? 5cm is too small but 10 seems way too big!

Hello, I'm new to polymer clay things. And I wanna try to put the earring stud cover with the clay. But I wanna know if that's ok to bake the clay right away while the stud stick on the back. I meant isn't it gonna be dangerous to bake with the stud open since it's made of a metal material or u just gonna cover it while on bake?
In the last technique do you use liquid polymer clay or bake and bond?
For the polyclay methods, I see you bake them to cure them. So are you putting the posts on before you bake the whole earring component or are you baking the component, then adhering the post and baking again? Thanks in advance! New subscriber because of this video- SO helpful!

This is what I was thinking because I have a habit of burning my earrings so I am bit reluctant to bake then bake again

just wondering how does scratching the back of the earring posts help to adhere better? i’ve seen a few posts mention that but thought it was referring to scratching the back of the polymer clay!
Thank you, thank you! This video is so great! I am just starting out and i am so thankful to find this channel ☺️
i'm struggeling to decide what kind of studs or hoops i should get. There are so many cheep ones, like a 100 for 5 bucks and ones that are 10 bucks for just a pair. Is it worth it to invest in proper ones?
do you use the bake n bond after you’ve already baked your clay? or do you apply it before you bake your clay?

I am making an oval shape twisted earring hooked to a twisted piece. So would you use uv resin to hook the stud onto the top or the gel super glue? I just don't know HELP
