The little circle onea wpuld make the cutest buttons!

[@myclayco]

I’ve never thought of that! Such a good idea!

[@Tom_and_Lulu]

Great idea, I've got some bezels that I did not use with resin but might come up a treat with clay. Thanks.

[@myclayco]

Definitely give them a go!

[@patriciamalave3715]

Thank you so much for your video, it’s helping me big time.

[@myclayco]

So glad you found it helpful! ❤️

[@celestialspiritstudio]

Thank you… you have given some new ideas as what to do with a few of my bezels and charms.🙂❤️

[@myclayco]

That’s great! Have fun creating with them!

[@ZPinkieZ]

I have tried to use polymer clay with bezels before but it didn't work out so well, this video teached me a lot so thank you! ❤

[@myclayco]

I’m so glad! Hopefully your next attempt is a success!

[@MissM_PsychCrime]

Thank you so much for such a clear and in-depth tutorial. I tried using bezels today and failed spectacularly 😅 I have learnt so much for your guide ❤

[@myclayco]

You’re welcome! I hope it helps and your next try is a success 😊❤️

@@myclayco I aspire to have my own channel someday. Not the same type of channel as yours but I’m still scared. 😆 I hope I can do it sometime in the near future. Keep on doing what you’re doing!

@@emschrader418 don’t be scared! And remember you have to start somewhere - we still aren’t pro’s but our videos have improved A LOT since our first one 😂

Just realised you ship worldwide! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@myclayco]

Haha yes we do!

[@mvanetten007]

Are you baking if youre ysing resin? If so are you baking with the bezels?

[@renataford7250]

What do you with the leftover clay? 😊

[@myclayco]

We actually have a video on this coming out soon! A few of the things we do are: colour mix to make colours, use them for the base of slabs, incorporate them into marbelling, patch works slabs, beads … so many possibilities!

[@AntonellaMalagnino]

Very interesting video!!! For how many minutes did you bake them and at what degrees? Is there the risk to ruin the bezels cause is metallic? Thank you!

[@myclayco]

Thanks! It’s polymer clay, most you bake for around 30 minutes and it’s baked at a low temp (normally around 130c) so not hot enough to effect that metal 😊

[@KathrynColes-l4z]

Hi thanks for the video. Can you tell me what kind of pens you used to colour the clay? X

[@myclayco]

Pleasure! Yep, they’re Life of Colour pens, they don’t flood, which we love. You can find them on our website here 😊 www.myclayco.com.au/collections/paint-pens

[@monadasacademy5886]

Hola! Gracias por los videos!! He aprendido mucho!!! Tengo una pregunta… ¿es necesario aplicar resina o algún otro producto después de usar los marcadores?

[@myclayco]

Our pleasure! Yes, if you’re using paint pens you should seal them with either a glaze, varnish or resin 😊

[@chrisbehne405]

how do you keep from making finger prints on the white lotus cutouts when you press them down?

[@myclayco]

I am very careful just to gently press on the metal bezel when I’m getting it in place. I then use a roller or acrylic clay press to press down and avoid fingerprints 😊

[@julierochforte7174]

Thanks so much. Do you have a gloss finish that you favour other than resin? Also I don't have the proper name but do you have a tutorial on the connecting (bales?) that hang the pendants onto the chain or thong? Sorry I'm new to the whole craft thing and don't know the names yet. I think there's a way of making them from the clay itself as well. 😀

[@myclayco]

We normally use Sculpey or Cernit gloss glaze if we’re not using resin and want a gloss finish. It will not be shiny and domed like resin though, it will just be a thin coat of gloss but we love it because it’s easy to apply and doesn’t go sticky! We will have to add a tutorial on using bales to our list! I don’t think I’ve seen them made out of polymer clay so will have to look into that! Thanks for the suggestion 😊

Hi Ladies Do You Have To Resin The Back or Is That A Personal Preference 💕💕💕💕💕

[@myclayco]

We don’t resin the back so personal preference 😊

[@kerryhall7506]

Thank You 💕💕

[@carmencamino9040]

Where did you buy the bezels and the sizes of them?. They are beautiful. Thanks

[@myclayco]

Thank you 🥰 they’re all in our website www.myclayco.com.au 😊

What sticker did you use on the Polymer clay

[@myclayco]

I think you are referring to the water transfer - do you mean this? www.myclayco.com.au/collections/water-soluble-transfer-decals/products/origa-koi-pond-in-transparent-water-soluble-transferimi

[@shicadelic]

What kind of mask sure you using when applying uv resin? Like a surgical mask ?

[@myclayco]

We use a gas and vapour filter respirator mask 😊

[@psychodrama15]

Excellent what size are the first set of earrings

[@myclayco]

They’re 20mm 😊

@@myclayco awesome!

[@patriciamalave3715]

Please help ! if I’m using acrylic paint, I have to paint after baking the clay ? I assumed

[@myclayco]

You can use acrylic paint before or after baking. I normally use before if I’m using a silkscreen, or after if I’m painting details 😊

[@patriciamalave3715]

@@myclayco do you have a video on how to used the chain length guide please

[@myclayco]

@@patriciamalave3715we don’t, sorry!

[@nancyh9125]

It seems it would be hard to find cutters to fit exactly to the bezels.

[@myclayco]

It was! So we made (and sell) cutters to fit them 😊

I’m sorry 😢 hopefully translating into other languages is something we can do in the future ❤️

[@farrenrohana]

These are great but if I might a bit of constructive criticism, your head shouldn't be in the frame. I know its a pain the butt but we can't get a good close up either. ❤

[@myclayco]

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I do sometimes apologise for that issue! It is quite hard working back from the camera sometimes and some things require a little extra precision which is hard when you can’t see. I’ve tried filming from the side but then my hands block the view - if you have any suggestions we would love to hear them!

[@grayscreations7004]

It’s annoying to watch the video with the reflections of cars driving past. Record your videos in a quiet room with no windows.

[@myclayco]

Sorry you found our video annoying. We don’t quite have the budget for a full studio and lighting set up but will keep your suggestions in mind 😊

[@PlayalongwithH]

Not sure if you meant to sound rude, but you do.
