I made my very first charm last week, it was a mini pot of colourful mushrooms! It's not the greatest but im proud that I actually created something.

Also I have found that Parchment Paper or Wax Paper comes in handy as an alternative work surface. Helps keep your clay from sticking, and also helps with any clean up afterwards.

[@anuragtumane5227]

Hi everyone! I apologise for song of the audio in this video. The background song that I used at the beginning of the video recently changed its rules, so I received a copyright claim and had to mute it 😓

[@emaimina]

@@lillianpetersen9315 if the clay is fairly new you just have to keep conditioning (kneading) it to warm it up -- this usually takes a while and is the worst part LOL

I love your quick and easy styles. I have never worked with clay except for play-doh when I was little. Now I did love play mud pies and decorating them. Thanks for your videos and will be binge-watching.

[@pigeonworldphcarlsonpascua7661]

Omg thx so much since I'm stuck here at quarantine I'm prolly going to buy clay online

[@whitethorndeer7945]

Similar situation here. I have some clay and tools that had been sitting in my shelves forever, so I decided to use them now and I'm watching this so I don't mess up and feel as if I am wasting the clay.

[@pigeonworldphcarlsonpascua7661]

Yeah I'm like that sometimes

[@victoriacano9682]

No need buy clay because you can make your own clay with: flour and nail polish

[@victoriacano9682]

Thanks for 👍 my comment ❤️u

[@katelynnjeffers2428]

That was so helpful. They don't sell the tools around here so i didn't know how to make most things or what could be substituted for the tools. Thank you so much. I love your tutorials.

[@bris_art]

Yeah.I rolled out a small cylinder of clay and put a needle inside one end. Baked it, and had a needle tool.

[@honeybattoys]

Sewing pins, needles, metal cookie cutters, toothbrushes, sandpaper, foil and pizza cutters all work great too :)

DONT MICROWAVE POLYMER CLAY ITS MADE FOR OVEN IT DOESNT HARDEN IN THE MICROWAVE AND IF YOU PUT FOIL IN THE MICROWAVE IT WILL EXPLODE I DONT WANT YOU TO HURT YOURSELF

don't microwave it. it's probably just going to explode so you will have to bake it according to your packaging instructions.
