IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DUSTY POLYMER CLAY: I wasn't the best either at keeping the clay clean but don't worry too much about it, you can clean the charm with acetone, I do that before baking but others do that after baking, also I always have wet wipes to clean my hands when I'm making my charms and I wash my work surface before starting. I also clean my tools with wet wipes every time I see them getting colored or something if it will transition other colors on my other clay I clean it. You should also have some leftiver clay or so called scrapclay to roll all over your worksurface once in a while when you are making charms, that way that clay will pick up dust, bits of unwanted clay and you can even roll it in your hands to get rid of dust and all. I hope I helped a little😘

[@paradoxal744]

The lettuce on the burger is GENIUS!! I've been making charms for 3 years and my tools include: A paperclip, a bobby pin, a sewing needle, a safety pin, a tack and a straight needle as well as cotton swabs and toothpicks. You really don't need to buy professional tools other than a blade and maybe roller.

I’m new to polymer clay and your channel 😊 great video! I have one question though: You don’t seem to use any kind of extra glue etc. when adding the bits to the charms - so it is enough to secure everything by just baking? The eye pins I know you super-glued. thanks for the videos 😊

[@RDVT9]

Oooo Creative Rachy could you do a tutorial on how to make a seal please ? C:

Totally new to clay here...! Will those charms work well on paper clay, as well?

[@lexikeyser8576]

Oh and also do you bake them with the little metal thing inside or out it in after

[@1981amillia]

I really need some help with what kind of polymer clay to use. I’m a beginner and I’m only going to be using my clay to make candy, canes, gingerbread houses, and basically anything sweets related. I bought 15 packages of Sculpey III but haven’t opened it yet. The other brands don’t have as many colors which is why I chose that brand but if it’s not the best then I can return them for something else. What do you mainly use? I would greatly appreciate your help and I love your tutorials. Thank you in advance!

[@rajivnongbet174]

Your nails 💅 are so cute 😍😘

[@theirishcailin333]

Dying to get into polymer clay charms! Do the different pieces - the toadstool stalk/dots - not fall off as there's no glue etc securing them together? Or does yhe baking process adhere everything together?

Hi im a new subscriber i think your awesome and so talented im glad i found your channel

[@soni22glez]

Thanks! All are super cute. I'm trying to lose my fear to use my starter pack of FIMO. Do you put the pin with glue before or after oven time? Sorry if it's a silly question. 😅

[@zeebialps9354]

You would need to put it in before baking so that there is a hole in the clay. You can leave it in when it goes into the oven because it's made of metal. The pin won't stay in by itself so you can just pull it out and apply superglue before gluing it back. (You could also do the same thing with liquid clay before baking)

[@teenishachandrakar3608]

I can say that I am still a beginner but I still really enjoyed the video. I really like the burger charm. It is very cute and btw, today is my birthday, so I feel like this one of the best presents I could get birthday! I know it's just a video but still. 😄😍❤️

Hiya Rachy! I just started making little clay sculptures, like super green (just started 2 days ago :3) I'm struggling with getting the right amount of clay to make a design. Is there a trick to it or just comes with practice? Thanks for making these videos! I'm loving it! and I love making clay sculptures so much!

[@creativerachy]

Just pull off little bits of clay from your block until you get the size you want. I guess it's a spatial skill that comes with practise!

Hi Rachel, I’m a huge fan! I have a question: Do you use the line of clay called scullery soufflé? If so, how often and in what creations? I would really love if you responded and thank you for your time! Love ur vids!

[@hamptonmarine]

I think nerdicrafter does

[@zeebialps9354]

I dont believe she does, I think Rachel only uses sculpy III, Sculpy PREMO and the FIMO ranges. If you wanna use Sculpy souffle it's good for doing things like whipped cream if you use one of the piping tools. However like Mark Hampton said, I believe NerdEcrafter uses a lot of Sculpy souffle. Infact she has a video where she compares some polymer clay, so she'll probably talk about it in that. It's quite an old one so I'd recommend just searching for it. C:

Thank you! It means a lot! lol im still waiting to see wut rachy says tho

[@donnabice273]

Hi would homemade painted clay be as good?the bought ones look harder.

[@terisedimacali1362]

(I hope you mean harder as in the consistency ☺️) This is a late reply, but I use bought clay and it’s actually pretty soft! You don’t need much force to sculpt the clay and if it really bothers you then I’m not quite sure what you could do.

Pressure or liquid clay

[@ameli3079]

Is it okay of the eye pin os screw in? Will it damage anything if i try taking it out?

[@amandafees8525]

I'm just beginning to learn about this stuff, but if I was in your situation I might a couple of practice pieces (like a ball, dome, dought, etc) really quickly (no details, just basic shapes) and stick in the eye pin and bake it. That way if you go to pull it out and it breaks then you didn't just goof something you spent a lot of time on.

[@creativerachy]

I’ve never used cold porcelain before sorry, so I’m not sure of the texture/how it behaves!

If you mean for the chips, they would have to be made and dried in advance to mix in. To sit on top, they would need to be adhered with pva/school glue
