Fairy house/casa de fada- Polymer clay (fimo) tutorial

How to make a fairy house, using polymer clay (Fimo soft) and Styrofoam balls.
I recommend that you use a good quality acetone. If necessary, try it before starting working.
The styrofoam ball, should melt quickly after get in touch with acetone. Acetone should be the least possible time in contact with the Fimo to avoid damage to the workpiece.
There are different types of styrofoam
The explanation for the heat resistance is related to molecular weight.
The styrofoam balls have a higher molecular weight and are therefore more resistant to heat.
The balls I use are very common and easy to find on crafts stores. But they must be heat resistant!
They are very used on works with E.V.A and are very compact
You can make experiences before using styrofoam with fimo clay, to verify if they melt in the oven.
Be creative and prudent at the same time!!!
Como fazer uma casinha de fadas com Fimo e bolas de Isopor
Recomendo que a acetona seja de boa qualidade. Se necessário, deve experimentar antes de iniciar o trabalho.
A bola de isopor, deve derreter rapidamente, depois de entrar em contacto com a acetona. A acetona deve estar o menos tempo possível em contacto com o Fimo, para evitar danos na peça.
Existem diferentes tipos de isopor
A explicação para a resistência ao calor está relacionada com o peso molecular.
As bolas de isopor tem um maior peso molecular o que as torna mais resistentes ao calor.
As bolas que eu uso são muito comuns e fáceis de encontrar em lojas de artesanato. Mas devem ser resistentes ao calor!
Eles são muito usadas ​​em trabalhos com EVA e são muito compactas
Devido aos diferentes tipos de isopor, deve fazer experiencias antes de as utilizar com o Fimo para verificar se estas derretem no forno.
Seja criativo e prudente ao mesmo tempo!!!

Just love the fairy house

[@angellehull9806]

I LOVE LOVED this! I have such a large supply of polymer clay, I stocked up on supplies in hopes of creating cabochons, which I've done (I used them for centre pieces and beaded around them for earrings and they were a huge hit, but I found they would often crack that resulted in less value, but my customers still loved them) unfortunately like other crafts I lost interest and now buy my cabs, sooo....now I have every colour of clay, every tool, every form down to a pasta machine, yikes!....but after watching your video I think I found my inspiration to start using my polymer clay supplies once again...yay...lol...so thank you! I hope to see tons more of your creations! ❤️

[@amandahill7540]

This little house is adorable!

[@marinadossantos7822]

ola sandrartes, antes de mais quero felicita-la pela criatividade, o que a Sandra faz é verdadeiramente uma obra prima! Cada video é uma descoberta, e um imenso prazer ao qual só da vontade de ir a correr experimentar. Segundo é um grande orgulho ver tutoriais desta qualidade em língua portuguesa! Terceiro é pedagógico, pois a forma como faz é extremamente explicita. Calhei por acaso a descobri-la e não resisti, inscrevi-me no seu canal, e aqui estou de volta. Muito, mas muito obrigado, pelo imenso talento e por partilha-lo connosco. Continue, que nos cá estaremos para apoiar e seguir com gosto e prazer.

[@craftsydaddy]

Strofoam balls not melting to heat is very MIND-blowing! Gotta try this sometime soon. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@sandrartes]

Hi craftsydaddy! :D As I use to say, you must be prudent! Not every styrofoam works. The balls must be heat resistant, or they will melt in the oven. Thank you for watching!!! :D

[@cristinacastro9680]

[@TheAurorajulialis]

This is wonderful! My mind is blooming with little house ideas. I did not know that you can use styrofoam with polymer clay like that.

[@sandrartes]

Hi Julia Rogers! :) Thank you so much for your nice words! :) If ou try to use styrofoam with polymer clay, make sure that the balls are heat resistant and test them bofore, in the oven, to see if they don't melt ;)

[@aliaqaisar6756]

[@Spellbound987]

Im curious to know how you got the top ball out without breaking the window cross? As for the being dead when using styrofoam. That particular person who gave this statement is scare mongering!!! Ive used them time and again in the past (i dont do claywork now, havent for some time) and oh, would you believe it!...im still ALIVE?!?! Lol

[@joelmasouzq9385]

sandrartes , muito obrigada , estou apaixonada por seu trabalho Sucesso pra vc

[@user-eb9ot2di3m]

sandrartes nice 👍

[@BlackCat_2]

That is very cute. How long did you bake it for? The foam balls didn't melt while baking? Did you use a full acetone or would nail polish remover with mostly acetone in it work as well? I have had a hard time finding pure acetone in my area stores. - Heidi

[@sandrartes]

Hi Heidi!:) the cooking time is the recommended for Fimo. my oven is large and takes a long time to heat up, so I leave the pieces for a few more minutes. Styrofoam balls are very compact, so they just shrink a bit during cooking. is possible that other types of polystyrene shrink much more I used acetone to remove nail polish. Must be a strong acetone as I say in the video description And thank you for watching!:D

[@summerbani2886]

wow, it's so beautifull! When you remove white ball i was shoked! O_O

[@sandrartes]

Hi summer Bani! :D Thank you!! Please read the video description if you are going to try this project!:) Not every stryrofoam will work. It needs to be heat resistant!

[@designsbyamelia9999]

I am planning on making this because it is so cute! But i have a few questions. Can I use air dry clay and when I use the asitone will it effect the air dry clay?

[@AudeRami]

Beautifulĺ Thank You ;)

[@GeethaShreeN]

THis is just sooo beautiful and you are sooo very talented.. i love all ur videos. U should probably think of owning a Baking / Cake Bakery .... Ur cakes are gonna have soooo much demand ! trust me.

[@sandrartes]

Geetha Shree N Hi Geetha Shree N !! :D Thank you so much for your nice words and motivation!! :)) I would love have that experience in the bakery world!... maybe one day! :D

[@moclay]

Beautiful project Sandra!!! :-) But didn't melt the styrofoam when cooked?

[@sandrartes]

Hi Monica!:) Once i tried this technique hoping that they melt... but they did not! The styrofoam balls are very compact and i belive that this is the reason...

[@moclay]

sandrartes May be, the styrofoam to which i refer, is another kind of styrofoam. Because mine surely melts :-). If your styrofoam doesn't melt it must be the extruded one and not the expanded. The styrofoam expanded that i know, melts too (after a little time) if you put polymer clay on. It's white and it is made of expanded polystyrene beads. When you cut it all this little beads blow in the air. Is like that, yours?

[@sandrartes]

There are different types of styrofoam The explanation for the heat resistance is related to molecular weight. The styrofoam balls have a higher molecular weight and are therefore more resistant to heat. The balls I use are very common and easy to find on crafts stores. They are very used on works with E.V.A and are very compact I know what type of styrofoam you are talking about, we can find it easly on boxes protecting products. I already tried with that type and it melted... that was the reason for me to try with the balls. And that was when i found that they don't melt!:) And that made me think about a way to remove the balls from the clay! :D And with all these experiences we learn a lot!

[@moclay]

It's a great idea!! And it can be used for many things. You are very clever and creative! :-)

[@viypinheiro9392]

[@lourdesmayoral6456]

How u do it so the clay dont stick in your hands? You do awesome job.
