Attempting A Polymer Clay Gemstone Slab

[@susanarendas]

Yes, you should wait a few minutes for the paint to dry, then add in any foil etc, and blend together. Also not all the clay needs to be mixed with translucent clay.

[@princessmanitari4993]

and to use cutters properly you can use cold water or corn flour! (:

[@NirvanasAngel11]

So pretty 😍 I'd love to own some of your jewelry omg I hope one day you reopen your shop!

[@sisterslothington]

Ooh what a cool technique! I hope you do more tiktok/insta videos like this in the future, it's really fun. I'd love to see you do some darker ones as well! 😄 Also your nails are amaaaaazinggggg. 👏🏻

[@tlynn1963]

How long did you let the acrylic paint dry before cutting? Great tutorial for someone who is just beginning, like myself.

[@carriepadgett2743]

I've been wanting to try these too! The instagram videos lately have been mesmerizing lol...thanks for experimenting, it helps to see the trial and error !

[@averyd4121]

I've wanted to try making gemstone slabs for a while. These turned out great!

[@ilefab4545]

Wow rachel, your nails are pretty fantastic this time!

[@creativerachy]

Thank you!

[@Natalie_TY]

I think you should try mixing more bright colors so the pattern will be more visible and also use translucent brands like premo or cernit, they seem to be better quality.

[@aubrie8365]

It's nice to see you trying out different techniques! they look good

[@hchcoloring]

This is fantastic! I can't wait to try it out and make some charms. Thanks for doing this.

[@The-Secret-Dragon]

Off topic but your nails are SO pretty! I'm mesmerized by that glitter, what brand do you use?

[@NiqueAmrita]

Looks like Holo Taco - Pastel Rainbow bundle. I own it too.

[@carolstewart1704]

I am so excited that u tried this out and shared with us!!! 🤗💕 I have been seeing these and wanting to try too!! *Eeee!* I love how urs came out!! The only thing I can think of to maybe help.. is I think they add the paint and let it dry for a bit yes! And THEN after that they will add a lil TLS to help stick it all together better 🤔 actually I'm trying to remember if they only used one liquid or the other... Like if they used paint then no TLS?? Ik they will usually use the TLS when they throw in the dry things like micas or gold flake etc 🥰 am so happy u did this video Miss Rachy!! TYSSSM! Happy crafting darling!!!

[@yelloworangered]

Thank you for showing us all the questionable events. So many videos make it all look easy and smooth.

[@gagaloo83]

I don't wait for my paint to dry. A little goes a long way. I also use sculpey liquid translucent to help the bits stick together

[@creativerachy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@SafireMusic]

I made this a few months ago and I also couldn’t get it as translucent as I wanted. It was also super hard for mine to stick together. Maybe I was too afraid to really smoosh it or it was too cold. I might give it a second go at some point

[@MermaidiaDreams4Ever]

This technique is so magnificent! Everything is so wonderful :D

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Had not seen this method! 🤗 They turned out very cool!! 🌈

[@brianahawkins8124]

CUTE!

[@Zunairah12345]

love it but one question does glaze make it waterproof

[@gryphonglassware481]

If you are wanting super translucent try and snag some Cernit :D. It is what I use for my gemstone slabs for art dolls. Even on the thicker art doll heads it still shows that translucence.

[@creativerachy]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@MaxinesCraftynStuff]

U can try using corn starch so the clay won’t stick to the cutter

[@khristlynnehester346]

Yes, was also gonna comment this 👏 I usually put a very thin layer of it all over my slab so that each time I press my cutter, it's already there and I don't have to reapply to the cutter or the clay.

[@creativerachy]

I definitely do this all the time, so I don’t know why I didn’t think of it in the moment 😅 thanks for sharing your tip with people!

[@keyshagodfrey4980]

Question...why did you have to add the liquid white clay to each slab?

[@sammyklas]

In some if your videos when you say UV varnish rather than resin, is that any different? Thanks 😊

[@JessOBrien-ht9si]

I love this video❤️. Could you make a rat con?

[@otakutante]

I love the kawaii stars! 😍

[@eleanor6386]

[@elysian9170]

Hiii

[@Juliyuhh]

I've tried this and failed multiple times 😔

[@creativerachy]

It’s hard! I think if you keep trying you will get a feel for it!

[@DanielGonzalez-et2yn]

can you try to make a few dinosaurs from jurassic world dominion?

[@janesavage4733]

Sculpey 111 isn’t so good for jewellery. Sculpey Premo, Soufflé are the most popular.

[@creativerachy]

Thank you! I haven’t really tried making jewellery before!

[@jenniferbell4571]

Bahahaha… my attempt was a mess!!

[@bigfoot8085]

You haven't watched KZbin its all over it. It's called faux gemstones.

[@creativerachy]

Clay videos don’t tend to come up in my suggested videos because I don’t really search for anything clay related anymore!

[@JessOBrien-ht9si]

Sorry raccoon

[@imapootytat]

just use some gloves lol

[@KindraShalynnHaimberger]

Kawaii dragon charm holding or hoarding one (or many) little gem or diamond shaped thingys made from the slabs. I think that would be super cute/cool.

[@creativerachy]

Great ideas!
