You know you're a true crafter when you use supplies meant for completely different crafts on your project 😂 Yes I spotted that cricut tool!

[@tinalemac]

That’s how we do it! 👏🏼👏🏼 I wanna buy more burnishing tools because it’s been helpful for so many things 😂😂

[@stinkysockmilk_]

I am last minute trying to make miniature clay statues personal to each of my family members as gifts for Christmas... Your video saved me from making every mistake I was on my way to making! Every tip and trick was new to me and I am so grateful and thankful that You took the time to produce such a clear and informative video. You just saved all my projects from being disasters... I can feel it. Thank You so much again for all of your big Help!!

[@7ae761]

im in the same position right now. trying to make last minute little sculpture figures and i dont have time for mistakes lol. can you tell me about how it went for you and what did u wish you had done differently?? its been 2 years so you may not remember but id really appreciate the help

[@greata80]

Yaaay! We don't have to be confused about the mysteries of air-dry clay anymore!!!

[@tinalemac]

Hahaha! Yes so many tricks to make a beautiful piece 😍

[@notaname3153]

ok, you are an excellent teacher!! not many people have that ability to communicate so clearly and thoroughly to the clueless! xo

[@ermelinda2223]

Oh my gosh right!??

[@beatrix_bourbon]

As one of the clueless, I agree! 😅 Thanks for the great, concise but detailed video!

[@auntieyaya8381]

I just purchased air dry clay because of you and @lonefox. The first tip that made me breathe easier was the list of tools (stuff I already had.) The tip I appreciated the most is: Going back to smooth out cracks even if it dry. I will be using the clay for preschool crafts and they are so broken hearted when a project has cracks.

[@A.V.Anuradha]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how cool her nails look ❤❤😍

[@keilaholcomb218]

yesss ikkk

[@tinalemac]

Hehehe, thank you so much! 🥰

[@sheilamurphy4245]

[@Jenslens]

Love your videos! I just learned in one of my pottery classes that if you want to use a cookie cutter, put saran wrap over the clay before the cutter. That way it doesn't stick to the clay and it's smoother! :)

[@twoserene]

Totally just bought air dry clay today so I can recreate some of these projects!

[@hopejohnson8057]

tip: you can use the spinny plate from your microwave as a turntable for smoothing! it's not quite as seamless, and you'll have to find some kind of no-slip table liner or other surface to set it on top of, but it works in a pinch

[@haileyd2874]

buying a cake spinner or a spice table that spins works well too! i got one at the dollar store!

[@Way2go926]

Ermm no thanks. If u only have 1 microwave for FOOD consumption, dont try to use it for clay.. u dont mix these 2 things together.. even if u can wash it.

[@ExplorewithSarahlouise]

@@Way2go926why? What’s in clay thars that bad if you wash it off?

[@marlenejones6266]

Hey I'm very impressed that you take this clay made for children and teach us how to use it like a professional would. I'm intrigued by this clay and I'm buying some this week. Thank you so much for your work

[@mommygarcia9137]

Oh my gosh ! That cactus trinket tray is super cuteness ! Love it !

[@klaudialacayo2333]

The slip tip is a really neat idea. Gonna try it.

It will be my first time using clay and I wanted to check out some videos before using it. I’m so glad I found this! I’m excited to start!

[@Sweettumms]

I loved this video it’s so straight to the point in a captivating way! I learned something and i actually payed attention the whole time😂 i subscribed! Thanks for the help.

[@arielb9318]

I’m so happy I found this video! I used to work with “regular” clay that you fire for ceramics years ago. I can’t afford my own kiln and know no one with one now that I’m interested again. And I had heard from someone that you cannot use ANY water when working with air dry clay (ex making a slip). I’m glad I saw this video that says otherwise 😄

[@tornistara]

this has to be the best video I've seen on air dry clay. Thank you so much! :)

[@elinakatarii]

Aww the cactus turned out so cute 🥺🤍 Getting very close to 80k 🤩✨💪🏻

[@tinalemac]

Hehe, thank you so much, Elina!! 🥰💖

[@stacyperrone-petta3326]

Thank you for sharing this helpful information ❤

[@mireillebx4063]

Can you wedge the air dry clay to avoid air bubbles? I've only had experience with ceramics clay, but think that wedging would help with the bubbles you see when you roll out the clay.

[@Strxbrysquishys]

This is very helpfull and usefull i am very thankfull

[@nocomment4642]

Super video ! A lovely project with great tips and useful information .Thank you so much !!

[@concettaclark6600]

Thank you so much for breaking it down, did not know which brand to buy, now I do. Didn't know what slip was, now I do. Luv, luv, luv your videos.

[@Mriam10]

Wow ! This is a straight forward instructions video and with a big smile from you.. you're amazing, thank you dear

[@MLSuv]

This helped so much!! We’ve done a few things with air dry clay in school and at my art school so I wanted to try it at home too, thanks for your tips!

[@grettellemus4907]

this was awesome! mixing water and clay as a sealer is something I had no idea about. also, storing in cabinet and constantly rotating for an even dry makes a lot of sense. I tried working with air dry clay during the pandemic but I gave up cause I had cero patience, but im planning on making my own christmas gifts this year and I'll work with this medium. thanks a lot for your videos!

This was super helpful! Thank you

[@stupid.anonymous_frog]

cool video! i have one question though. is it better to use slip or just water? before i watched this video i was just using water and i was wondering if there is a difference in how it affects the finished product?

[@Motiva8-TV]

Hello. My husband and I bought some clay today for our 6 year old. We had so much fun with it. Thanks for your tips😊

[@jollyrose7198]

this is very helpful! thank you! I was also wondering how to preserve and reuse the slip? i couldn’t find it in the video and i don’t want to waste any slip when there’s a still a lot left.

[@tinalemac]

You can keep it covered and continue to add water to it once it starts to dry out! (:

[@Irina-ns4tk]

Your video is very good, I enjoyed it and helped me a lot. Although I have a question, can I use epoxy resin for sealing?

[@ZoeysMusings]

Yes, your hands are indeed your best tools 😊 This was so useful. Thank you for all your hard work! I need to create my own cactus ring dish!! Love it 😁

[@arun.tamilselvann]

Thanks for the tips! I made a few clay dishes for my family for Christmas! I put those dishes in the sun since I thought it would dry faster but now I won’t do that anymore!! Thanks again 😊

[@v1ncemom617]

Super cute!!! You were the second "how to" video and I found it so useful!! I'm excited to try this cactus dish next. Today I got a little nutty and covered the bottom of a Gatorade bottle to make a vase.. maybe. My question is- how do I remove the dried clay from my Gatorade bottle without destroying it?? Or is that even possible- I'm a newbie at sculpting but enjoy all mediums from painting canvas to wire sculptures and I'm anxious to add the air dry clay to my list. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to your response! Happy creating!!

You made this video so well. I recently made little clay fruits basket (anime) figures and they turned out okay but I had to keep glueing parts back on 😅 could’ve used some of these tips when I was doing that but now I’ll know for the future. I took notes and my favorite new tip I learned is probably letting pieces sit for 30 minutes before scoring them so they’re more firm. Thank you 😌
