I found your channel yesterday and I literally cant stop watching your videos!

[@akirananimoto5843]

These are super easy and cute. And I absolutely love how you make sure to say add an eyepin to make it into a charm if you want, superglue it afterwards, and glaze if you like after each charm just on case someone skips to specific charms. It was very thoughtful of you! Amazing video as always!

[@creativerachy]

You can add 2 white clouds on the rainbow & for the pot I think brown color was much better for the soil and the beige color for the pot, overall you did awesome work, thanks for the video.

Do you batch bake charms ? Do you need to adjust the timings if batch baking? please x

[@fahma8260]

oh i really like this i will make it later, thanks for the info

[@TheKatinator1]

With polymer clay, do you not need to score and slip to attach pieces? Do they stay put after being baked? Love these charms they’re so cute

[@Restoration_com]

Nope thats for airdry clay but polymer clay u have to glue using liquid clay or glue note this

[@minicooking8106]

[@anxiety_arcade]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial! I'm just starting out with clay and these will be great first makes. How do you deal with finger prints on the clay? ps love your nails!

[@annagray6875]

Before you bake it you can use a q-tip with rubbing alcohol to remove fingerprints but don't use too much alcohol or it can dissolve your clay slightly. Hope this helps!

[@userea_]

You can add corn starch to your workspace or to the clay or to your hands so there won't be much fingerprints ☺

[@caitlinlim3798]

Wow! They’re all so cute! How do you make them so clean and how do you not squish them?

[@glowstonestarzaj4922]

Nail polish remover and holding them gently

[@charliparkin7541]

I wish that I had seen that you had another video up sooner, because it's 8:00 in Queensland Australia, which is my bed time. LOL, I will watch it in the morning. I have no doubt that it will be great!!👍👍😊💞💞💞 By the way you are such an inspiration to me!!!!!!!!!

[@creativerachy]

Thanks!

[@subanfarah1133]

So cute 👍💗

[@ThisOLmaan]

which one of the 3 clays do you find less sticky? i been making small figures but been having a difficult time with Fimo making tiny hands, but when it comes to working with Super Sculpey Original, now that clay you can detail the tiniest figures and not sticky, the thing is bought to much fimo variety colors and want to use it B4 starts to get stale, hard, crumbly. But you seem to handle it pretty good👍🏼

[@creativerachy]

I personally have never used Super Sculpey. The main brands I use are Sculpey III, Premo and Fimo. If your clay is too sticky, you can leach it between some paper :)

[@ava.mbennett]

Ur nails are ALWAYS so beautiful! 😄💕💕

[@creativerachy]

Thank you so much!

[@ava.mbennett]

@@creativerachy You’re Welcome!! 😊

[@ibpaddy65]

What is the name of the polish?

[@ava.mbennett]

I’m assuming, for this specific design, she used some type of holo powder.

[@JesskaSentinels]

I'd like it if you did a tutorial for one of the character popsicles you can get from ice cream trucks, like a ninja turtle or sonic the hedgehog

Hello Rachel👋. I love you polymer clay creations (especially your succulent charms). Can you to make a succulent dino charm please. Stay safe. Bye! 😊

[@dilipmoses1]

Hi! I love your vids! I wanted to ask you can we could use clear nailpolish for glaze?

[@georgia2993]

Clear nail polish starts dissolving clay after a while and can burn a hole into the clay. Creative Rachy actually has a video on glaze, kzbin.info/www/bejne/emi0f5h9armCaNE :)

[@dilipmoses1]

@@georgia2993 thank you so much :)

[@nita_7831]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[@amydavis4945]

You make it look so easy, LOL! I try to do this and end up squishing the clay or leaving fingernail marks or having pieces fall off because they wouldn't stick when I press them on, etc. It's still fun to watch tho!

[@creativerachy]

It takes lots of practise! I have been doing this for a while :)

[@dilipmoses1]

Hi, I'm a kid and I cant use resin or varnish so what do you recommend me to use? By the way I love your channel ❤

[@megan0359]

For varnish i recommend mod podge. Its like a glue that dries clear and shiny. Its pretty good for beginners.

[@dilipmoses1]

@@megan0359 thank you I will ask my mom if I could but some :)

[@creativerachy]

I have a video all about testing some different glazes. Ps. don't use Mod Podge!

[@SandPell123]

You are so talented. They are so cute! You make it look so easy.

[@creativerachy]

Thank you!

[@ruzuk]

How hard do you have to push the pieces of clay together to ensure they stick? For example, the sprinkles on the ice cream look like they are just laid gently on top, rather than pushed right in. Will they fuse in the oven, even if they are only lightly touching? Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@creativerachy]

Yes, you don’t need to push the clay together very hard for it to stick, but optionally you can use liquid clay as a glue or blend pieces together which I occasionally do, just not for sprinkles

[@ruzuk]

@@creativerachy Thanks so much! I made the plant and the apple, then modified another apple to be a capsicum and they came out so cute!!

What to use to glace the charms?

[@talbiaislam2097]

for how much time we have to bake it???and in what degree Celcius/Feranhite?

[@zxiu393]

how are you making these so perfect? i made one too but the sprinkles looks so chubby

[@patricia_nicollette6571]

I started yesterday day and did a turtle I don’t have a smoothing or something they call I did elmers glue and put on the clay and it works for me

[@howtodraweasy9322]

New subscriber here ♥️♥️

[@ecxhimekax87]

For the popsicle charm, when baked, won't the sprinkles fall off when you apply slight pressure on the sprinkles? I used Premo clay and the small bits (unbaked) I place on unbaked polymer clay tends to just fall off when I lightly push it off...

[@creativerachy]

You can definitely use some liquid clay to attach them or glaze over top to add strength, but I was trying to make it as simple as possible because it's for beginners. It's more about the designs rather than the durability when you're first starting out and practising :)

Oh ok that’s fine it’s just I’m really bad at making polymer clay foods I’ve always wanted to do it and have one! When I see yours I think it’s easy but you have been doing it for years so it’s probably easy for you
