Air Dry Clay POT - pinch pot technique DIY VASE

Here's how I make an air dry clay pinch pot vase, step by step (for decorative purposes only). I used stone coloured air dry clay in this video, but you can use white or terracotta and paint as you wish, adding any other decorative details you wish too.

Deciding to go outdoors wasn't the best plan ever with me filming on a windy day, the wind took my camera and tripod and it wasn't a pretty sight afterwards : ( I shall be sticking indoors for the foreseeable!!! (cracked screen : ( )

Wonderful pot, and video. Your patience is amazing! Turned out great even with the struggles with the wind wanting to dry it out. Have never thought about crafting outside, looks lovely there!

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, the wind was a bit of a bother that day, but long forgotten now! ❤️ happy crafting

[@HurrahMurti]

A lovely video. Have never thought about crafting outdoors, but am inspired.

[@RedRockingBird]

Go for it! ❤️✨

[@timeenuf4200]

You must have a lot of control in your hands. I'm betting I'd collapse it when putting it together but one of these days I'll give it the new potter's try. Thanks again. Lovely project.

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, if you make the walls thick like I did it’s quite easy and when the air is trapped inside the two halves it’s really like a solid ball, definitely one to try 😊

[@geraldineagredo2941]

I just got into air dry clay and I’m loving your videos! Thank you so much❤ I tried this and I gotta tell you, it’s not perfectly round but I’m so proud of

[@RedRockingBird]

Well done that’s fab, perfection is not necessary, adding some texture or pattern can help if things are a bit wobbly if you like, wonderful, happy crafting 😊🌸🌼

[@kellihull7600]

The patience needed.... it’s beautiful

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, enjoyable and satisfying to make too ❤️

[@dorothykovak4900]

Takes patience, but so worth it. Very pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Yes it does, therapeutic and enjoyable. Thank you

Ah so that’s how you do it, great video

[@RedRockingBird]

Glad you like, thanks

[@margaretdillinger5090]

They so cute. I see the round and think of doing a Christmas look to it. Lol , my brain always thinks in Christmas. I’m trying to train my brain to think about more other ideas. Lol

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, well Christmas is one of the best times of year and the greatest season to craft for, enjoy 😊

[@zenaidaortiz6475]

Really looks beautiful and so simple and love the painted designs on the vases. Thanks again.

[@neilreeves5627]

Turns out amazing! Also like the bag.

[@RedRockingBird]

[@MissGroves]

That looked like Bristol downs, always windy! Not seen the dark das before, would make a nice contrast to the white and teracotta

[@RedRockingBird]

The stone DAS is a lovely contrast yes, thanks for watching

[@aparajitaxyz]

I am in a hot country and it dries up very fast...but hey, I enjoy the process and time has taught me to work on things faster than otherwise I wouldn't. So my mind needs to work much ahead of when I try to make anything. This looks cute. I have made a few pinch coffee (shot) and tea cups. Will send you the pictures over.

[@dawndeluca]

I'm loving your air dry clay videos and am wondering if the clay can be formed around a slightly inflated balloon which is then popped and removed (through a hole in the top, of course).

[@RedRockingBird]

Thanks Dawn, I’ve had people ask this a lot, yet I’ve never tried, I will though, it might be better around something firmer that can then deflate

[@qjomishler7359]

Love them. ❤ I didn't know u seal air dry clay. What kind of seal is use?

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you. I like to use a spray varnish/lacquer

[@wronggeometry]

Hi, could you explain the pros/cons/differences of sealing before painting? Thanks

[@RedRockingBird]

as long as it has a top coat, preferably at least 2 coats that's what is important, sometimes i seal first too, sometimes i don't depending on the paint coverage needed etc, find a way you like working i find is always the best way

[@Angel-yl1ck]

For the first vase, have you ever shaped it around a small bowl?

[@RedRockingBird]

You sure could, I've just done this, this pinch pot way 😊

[@Malumamma]

Can water be put in these beautiful pinch pot vases? Will the water hold?

[@RedRockingBird]

I’ve done a few videos on waterproofing air dry clay

[@chongoifoon716]

I have made a pinch bowl and a coaster in blue theme, although is not perfect but I am happy with my first project, thank you so much for sharing all the wonderful tutorial! Too bad I can't show you the pieces!

Since the clay is dark, does it tell you somewhere on the package that it is stone coloured?

[@RedRockingBird]

It sure does, and this one has a picture of a lion on the front too in the stone colour ❤️✨

[@tinawestra2571]

How would you seal the inside for water?

[@RedRockingBird]

I did an experiment in this video: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2rVdHqcm7GYoJY and like polyurethane best 😊

Hi I’m looking for your video on making your own air dry clay... would you mind sharing the link? I believe you mentioned it in another video.

[@RedRockingBird]

This is my homemade clay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTRapWsmaiBaLs The vase is DAS Thanks

[@alickdunbar]

How long does it take to make this pot let me know please

[@RedRockingBird]

We are all different but I’d allow myself 30 mins to an hour, you might take more or less

[@fzttnets]

You can use baloon for this sphere shape

[@RedRockingBird]

that's great if it works for you ❤️ thanks

Hi from Indonesia... can we wash air dry clay earrings with soap?

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi Indonesia from England ❤️✨ When clay is bare no, but if you varnish/lacquer well, you could wipe them clean with water and soap on a cloth

[@brigittaelegeert1470]

Hallo, ik volg regelmatig uw filmpjes , uw leuke ontwerpen, I love it Graag zou ik ook met de air dry clay deze 3 items maken , maar soms gebruikt u het woord ( slip) wat bedoeld u daarmee ? Is het klei met een beetje vloeistof toegevoegd ? Ook zou ik willen vragen hoe dik de klei bij de kandelaar , het vaasje en het onderzettertje is gebruikt ??? U spreekt over inch ? Zou dat ongeveer 1 cm zijn ? Zo graag zou ik eraan willen beginnen , kan u mij aub bijstaan met beetje raad . Ik hou zo van uw werken ❤ super tof , en goed uitgelegd . Sorry ik schrijf het in Nederlands omdat mijn Engels niet 100% is . Bij voorbaat dank , Een groote fan 👋👋👋🫶🏻🧡 brigitte

[@RedRockingBird]

Hallo SLIP: ja mix van klei en water. Voor de meeste projecten zou ik de klei tussen de 6 en 8 mm rollen. Ik raad beginners aan om wat dikker te gaan, zodat het gemakkelijker te hanteren is. Veel succes en geniet ervan. 🧡 Slip - yes clay and water mix. I would typically roll the clay between 6 and 8 mm for most projects. I recommend beginners go a bit thicker so it is easier to handle. Best of luck and enjoy. 🧡

How to make this pots water proof

[@RedRockingBird]

For decorative purposes, so put dried flowers etc in to look pretty ❤️

[@starrspoter]

whats the diff with air dry clay and air dry modeling clay and so on

[@RedRockingBird]

regular air dry clay feels a lot more like natural clay for ceramics, then there is lightweight air dry clay that feels a bit more plastic and can be sticky and stretchy and come in lots of colors. But then there is modelling clay that does not dry, I use plasticine, and you can make stop motion characters etc from this and they remain mouldable, hope that helps?

[@starrspoter]

@@RedRockingBird so modiling clay never goes haard?whats the point of that?and what u use plasticine for

[@RedRockingBird]

@@starrspoter unless it says air dry modelling clay, but plasticine is used for making characters etc that you can manipulate and animate, like Wallace and Grommit!

[@RedRockingBird]

@@starrspoter just realised that my local store calls DAS modelling clay so I can see how this can get confusing, I stick to the brands I know for each type then you know what you are buying next time

[@starrspoter]

@@RedRockingBird i see some people make things like u with just air dry clay and then air dry modiling clay.i suppose they really do the same thing.can make them into what ever and drys inthe air.compaed to normal modiling clay.can make anything

[@lisavigus-brown8247]

I'm in a hot country, clay starts drying as I'm using it so, I can't procrastinate lol

[@RedRockingBird]

yes can imagine how you have to keep going, no time to pause lol

[@smithajay5271]

True..cnt even work slowly with resin or acrylic

Hi 👋

[@robot7759]

Hi! I love the simplicity of your pinch pot technique, however it's not for me. Rediscovered the balloon technique, where one inflates a small(ish) balloon to the desired format and then coil a very, very, very long sausage of adc around it to the desired hight. Deflate the balloon after about 8 to 12 hours, depending on temperature, humidity etc. You may want to use a simple release agent like baby powder or petroleum jelly.

[@RedRockingBird]

I too have been experimenting using a balloon etc 📽 Thank you for adding this

[@deepthymaryzachariah2388]

May I put water in it 💦

[@lisavigus-brown8247]

No, cant put water in

[@RedRockingBird]

As Lisa said, no you can't as it would go all soft. For decorative purposes, so put dried flowers etc in to look pretty ❤️

[@juls5887]

Beautiful!

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you 😊
