Your voice is very pleasant to listen to if you ever make an audio book. I would get it.

[@RedRockingBird]

I think I should, I get this lovely comment too often 🙈 thank you ❤️

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Love all your tips. Also that your son was crafting with you ♥️. Have never used air dried clay. Thank you🤗🇬🇧

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you 😊 I hope you now try some air dry clay, my son loves it so much too and that makes me very happy 😁❤️

I just found you. So glad youtube and your channel are here!!!! I love the fresh clean, inspiring instructions. Thank you. 🎉❤

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, such a lovely way to be described 😊❤️ and WELCOME

[@deby7821]

They are all so cute, love the fox and the bird. What a great idea making those little stands so that you can paint your pins. With the pins you got with the tiny bases you could add a small ring of clay around the base then spread it out for more stability. Thank you.

[@RedRockingBird]

Great idea! 🌟 Thank you

[@kathryndohring5481]

Great video and adorable work. Thanks for posting.

You’re so lovely 🥰 Thank you for sharing with us your sweet little whimsical world of clay creations!

[@RedRockingBird]

Aw thank you, I love to craft and create and making these videos has really given me a new purpose in inspiring you all. Thank you

[@gregtegreg]

I recommend sticking a textile back and glue the back metal thingy to it otherwise it will break super easy. Even the super glue will fall off ;)

[@RedRockingBird]

Good idea! These pins are still going strong for me, but thank you for your solution too 😍

[@lilyashagirl]

Hi, I'm loving your designs & the fact that you share your templates is wonderful & truly appreciated. I'm a Chandler and have been wanting to create small designs like some of these to add to the front of my vessels Or atop my flat wooden lids. I love adding texture & wondered if they'd be strong enough with the right sealant. And Thx to your vids I'm now pretty Sure they'll work. So I can bring my ideas 4 more Specialty Vessels a reality. I'd even try using mini glass beads & other small embellishments. I'd been going back & forth on what type of clay to use. I especially enjoyed the lovely Angel Wings you made. I can't stop thinking of ideas like puffy colorful balloons w/ real strings 4 Birthdays w/ Names in special fonts by using my vinyl cutter as a template, florals, animal prints, unicorns &... lol the ideas are Endless. I love the Bears & Foxes. TFS... You are truly Gifted & Appreciated. 😊🙌

[@RedRockingBird]

I suppose it depends how heavy the lid would be, I do all of mine for craft purposes and don't sell them, so I know you need to make absolutely sure they are not going to come loose. I love all of your creative ideas, enjoy ❤️ and thank you

[@energyrep777]

I can't believe I haven't found you sooner! Love all your beautiful ideas and tips. Thank you so much.

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you for this wonderful idea. I have been wondering for a while what to make for mother for her birthday. I watched this video which has inspired me to make a few pins for her to wear.

[@RedRockingBird]

Such a wonderful idea, enjoy making them and I’m sure your Mother will love them, thanks for watching ❤️

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

*I do that with all my crafting cut the excess off for easier handling. I'm sure one day they'll have a machine that will cut out clay things. I enjoy seeing new things being shared. I've been wanting to do this with clay. I enjoy working with molds. 😁😁😁* Sharon in SC

Hi Julie

[@sandrasolaligue-perez3606]

Hello! Can you show us, how to make the supports you use to put the pins on for painting? Thank you!

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, I just get a bottle top, a walnut size ball of plasticine, squash it onto the top and make it into a mini mountain and then push the dried clay on top, use white plasticine if the clay backs are white, otherwise my orange ones sometimes discoloured the back of the pin...oops! Blue tak actually might work better, it's just i have so much plasticine from making models for fun stop motions with the kids : ) Thanks

[@salomeydraws]

Excellent video!! I've just bought some DAS from Hobbycraft (thought I'd buy some Fimo but it was SO expensive!) and I'm raring to make something right now!! I'll give it a go this evening, as I already have lots of supplies that I never use at home like acrylic paint and stuff. I've watched many a clay pin making video, but they all use oven clay and resin, but I just think it's a bit of a faff to be honest. The only think I need is the lacquer spray! I knew there was a more beginner-friendly and easier way to make pins! So glad you made this video, big Big thanks xx

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, how did you get on? Air dry clay is much cheaper as you found out, I love the stuff!! Haha Amazing, thanks

[@salomeydraws]

@@RedRockingBird I'm loving it! It's so much fun, but also such a chill exercise. I preserve my clay in a tupperware folded over with a damp cloth over it and it stays moist so I can work with it whenever I like, which is just ace! No way will I try oven bake clay now!!

[@nikkiejones4606]

[@annek.1990]

i love your videos I made coasters out of air dry clay, painted them with acrylic paint and then coated them with varnish. Unfortunately, some of the cups stick to it and there is also lint trapped in the paint. Do you have an idea what kind of paint is suitable to protect the coasters in a stable and heat-resistant way? How can I prevent small lint from getting in? Could it be the brush?

[@RedRockingBird]

Glad you are enjoying some projects, when varnish is drying out a Tupperware container lovely over to prevent dust landing on them. Did you see the coasters I made in my ‘air dry clay and resin’ video?

[@susane945]

@@RedRockingBird I cut them yesterday, today they are drying....I think I made them waaaay to thin! I might make fridge magnets with these thinner ones. And over the weekend will try again to make pins. I'm looking forward to painting them. I think that will be a challenge yours look amazing with real tiny details that make them super cute

Oh my goodness!! Such a great tutorial for air dry clay! When you put the pins on the back of the wet clay did you add more clay on top of the pin bar to hold it on? Thanks for such a great tutorial. I subscribed to your channel.

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes I do sometimes, you just have to make sure nothing wiggles around to break. I most often super glue them to the flat backs. Thank you

[@kimalexander1593]

Have you tried Posca pens for the fine markings? I find they work brilliantly x

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, thank you, yes posca and other acrylic markers work great for decorating air dry clay, much better as they don't reactivate once varnished. Thanks

Amazing work

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you so much

[@martinycocktail2021]

Hello I wanted to thank you very much for this video because I made some figures that you teach here.I was encouraged and bought the clay and made the fox, the leaf and a bird.they were not perfect but I think they are not bad...let's see what comes.I wanted to ask you how you can correct when the dough cracks while I'm working it.thank you, a hug.

[@RedRockingBird]

Glad I could help, thank you. If it is cracking while working with it, I like to smooth a ball a clay with my hands first and then roll or sculpt so that there are no cracks forming in the first place, but if they do then a tiny bit of water or slip on your finger and then smooth should help, best of luck, hope this helps, Sarah

Hi! I'm wondering if you have ever tried an air dry clay that can be fired too like glorex clay. I wanna know if I can use the same technique as das clay, like acrilic paint, top coat glaze etc.

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, I’ve not tried glorex before, but great that you can air dry or use a kiln. If air drying then I would use acrylic paint and top coat once all dry yes

Thanks, yes an eye pin

[@petipeti775]

Another great video :) Is there any way you can make the pins more secure from falling of? I have an experience of the metalic part breaking the clay and falling off. Thank you!

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, these ones I mainly glued the pin back with really strong glue, I hope to make some different ones on here soon too, if it really is a problem that keeps happening then you would be better with polymer clay.

[@veronicajackson2524]

I love these!! I may get brave and try to make one . What is the best surface to work on so the clay does not stick

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you ❤️ something non porous like a smooth tile or piece of glass works well, you can always use smooth baking paper

[@RedRockingBird]

Give it a whirl, not a lot to loose

[@jacintatate]

how do you store the rest or your left over clay? Do you keep it in a cupboard or does it dry out?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes you can store it and it will be fine, I keep it in the packets you purchase it in, and seal it up and then you can always put it in an extra bag and air tight tub if you want to be extra sure
