I know it takes quadruple time to film every project, but I so appreciate you doing it. I've gotten so much inspiration not to mention just the soothing pleasure of watching your videos as I craft.

[@IvettDIY]

omgsh you're so sweet! thank you!!

[@ezraoz3904]

I don't think you have an artistic eye. Your work is sloppy.

[@OldLadyInFL]

Your pieces are very simple and elegant. I especially liked the wall hanging and the bowl with raffia. What a great use of leftovers!

I'm so happy I clicked on this recommendation. Love all of these projects! Especially like the sprinkled on dots you added to some of them. And that you also kept in footage of 'failures' which you then decided to change afterwards as you weren't happy with it. I have two questions: - Do you wear a respirator while sanding air dry clay? - which type of colors do you use to paint the air dry clay? Is acrylics fine?

[@IvettDIY]

Thank you!! I don’t use a mask or a respirator when I sand. Although I do keep a big window open when I do it (it’s located right in front of where I do my projects). And I use acrylic paint on my projects 😊💖

Wow so amazing and helpful glad I found your account! I want to know what kind of paint do u use? I just made a air dry clay dish and used iridescent acrylic paint I had I was gonna wait for it to dry to use the gloss glaze on it but it’s already peeling a bit 😢

[@IvettDIY]

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve never used iridescent acrylic paint, but I always use acrylic paint on my projects. I use brands like top notch, craft smart, deco art & folk art.

[@GoCreative_handmade]

How do you stick the hooks so it's sturdy and doesn't slip out later

[@peppysage]

Great work. What kind of paint do you use?

[@IvettDIY]

Thank you! I use acrylic paint :)

[@YoungDymisty]

You ended up getting separation with the border because you didn't score the clay before attaching. Do you have to score both sides and add some water and then it sticks.

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Hi Ivette, I love the items you made, they all looked so amazing! Can I ask you what paints you used. I especially like the colour you made the wall hanging circles. Can you please tell me what it is called and what the brand is. Thank you in advabce. God bless you and all those you love. Have a great week!

[@IvettDIY]

oh thank you!!...I use acrylic paint on all my projects and then I usually mix a bunch of different colors together until I get something I like. For the circular wall hanging I used FolkArt's Terra Cotta line in the color Claypot and mixed in a some white paint to lighten up the color a little. I got that at Michaels :)

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Thank you! I used acrylic paint. I get them at either Michaels or Joanns and I use whichever brands they have in stock as long as I like the color. 😊

[@SuperCarmen57]

Foarte util video, mulțumesc ! Am o întrebare, după modelare se lasă la uscat acoperit cu folie de plastic și fără să- umezim ?

[@IvettDIY]

yes, I just leave it out to dry without anything on top of it. I do put it on a plastic wrap just so that it doesn't stick to the surface.

[@kbrown6635]

These were so cute!

I don’t know if anyone answered you. That’s a dotting tool usually used to paint mandalas on rocks. They come in sets with all different sizes.

[@NobleWatts]

Hii, i wanted to know what type of colors are you using for air dry clay?

[@IvettDIY]

I use acrylic paint and mix a bunch of different colors to get shades that I like

[@NobleWatts]

@@IvettDIY thanku, and for the base??

[@maryhartzheim37]

Can I use a HARD non- flexible mold with air dry clay

[@IvettDIY]

I think it could be done if you used a paper based clay because an earth based clay might crack inside the mold. It wouldn’t hurt to try it out if you have some spare clay laying around.

[@sandraerlemrocha263]

Amei ❤ gostaria de ter a dica do material

[@lindawonderly5770]

What do you do with the clay you have cut ? Can it be mixed with the other clay you have left? Do you have to wet it to mix it? What kind of a container do you keep it in after you’ve opened the original bag? Thanks.

[@IvettDIY]

After I’ve opened a bag & still have clay left over I put the clay in the original bag it comes sealed in and wrap it as tightly as I can without any air bubbles in there & then wrap that with plastic wrap so that it stays closed and the clay stays fresh for me like that. I never mix clays that aren’t the same brand together because I don’t know how they will react with each other. But if it’s the same brand I do mix them. If you feel the clay is dry when u mix it, u can add water to help it mix better.

[@olgaagafeva3442]

Очень классно... 😲🤗🤗👍👍👍🔥, интересно. Никогда этим не занималась... А где вы берете все эти инструменты.... Даже не знаю куда обращатся☹️

[@IvettDIY]

I got my tools from Amazon. Just look up “clay tools” and a bunch of things should show up. Also in the description box, I linked one of the tool sets that I use. They should also sell clay tools at your local craft store. I hope this helps :)

[@dl60429]

When the clay is drying, does it stick to the table underneath?

[@IvettDIY]

It probably would. I always let my clay dry on top either a baking sheet, wax paper, a silicone mat or plastic wrap

[@betsywaggoner9762]

What kind of paint do you use? What grit sandpaper do you use?

[@IvettDIY]

I use acrylic paint & for sand paper the grit varies for each project. I buy my sandpaper on Amazon and they have packs with different grits and those are the ones I get.

[@swathi_madhanu]

Can you tell me which paints to use for air dry clays

[@IvettDIY]

I use acrylic paint. the brand doesn't matter :)

[@joannestrength6165]

Does the glaze prevent water from making the clay soft again?

[@IvettDIY]

It does help it out, but it still doesn’t make it waterproof.

[@petrac2840]

First of all I have to say these tips were great! It's just what I wanted to see! 😍 But, something that got a bit wearisome was how often and close apart "ok guys", or "guys" were said just in general. You probably don't notice it yourself since it takes a long time for you in between when you say it, but in the video it's something that feels overly used for us. All said as constructive feedback! 🙏❤️ I think it was said five times just within the first minute, and many times more throughout this, and another videos of yours I saw before this. But as I said, great tips! And wonderful work!!

[@petrac2840]

Also, so it doesn't feel like a you-issue or attack on you, lots of people making yt-videos get stuck on that word. That's probably why I hang up on it extra much as well. It's like it's become a word where it lights up in my brain every time I hear it. 😁

[@elizaabdilla612]

Do you need to sand it down?

[@IvettDIY]

No, only if you want too :)

[@divyad7885]

Which clay ur using

[@IvettDIY]

I rotate in using a couple of different ones I love which are Das air dry clay, creative paper clay, Jovi air dry clay, Sculpey air dry clay & activa supreme air dry clay.

[@rereaprillia4778]

😭 I have put varnish on top of the acrylic, when the varnish is dry, I can peel it off using my fingernails. Can you give me some tips so that the varnish doesn't peel?

[@IvettDIY]

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m not really sure what’s going on, maybe the type of varnish you’re using doesn’t mix well with acrylic paint. I usually only use mod podge or deco arts sealer and that usually works out for me. Maybe you could try using a primer coat of acrylic paint first, and then paint and then seal. The only times I’ve had problems with paint peeling was like when I used Amico clay or if I like didn’t wait long enough in between coats of paints. So just make sure that your paint is fully dry before you seal.

[@rereaprillia4778]

@@IvettDIY sorry, what is primer coat? Can u give me example it

[@IvettDIY]

@@rereaprillia4778 a primer coat is an extra step that you can do before you paint. So if you google acrylic primer paint it should come up. sometimes it comes up as gesso. The main point of it is to make sure that whatever you paint on your project sticks. it will even out the surface and cover up pores.
