How to make Polymer Clay Bookmarks

[@kellyngrey4950]

Thank you for these tutorials! When I was a teen I made a bunch of clay beads for my hemp jewelry 😂 a couple decades later, I've decided to try my hand at more "practical" and varied items to raise money for my local kitten foster group. So, thanks for the great ideas and tutorials! Keep 'em comin'! 💜 from Texas

Fab video, thanks for sharing your tips. Sooo helpful as always. One question, I usually bake 2mm thick for about 30 mins, how long did you bake these for? ❤

[@myclayco]

We normally bake for 30-40mins. So long as the temp is right it won’t burn (I sometimes leave mine in for an hour even), and it’s better to make doubly sure it’s baked than be under baked!

Beautiful! I love your instructional videos. I made a rectangular book mark using Sculpey III. It was flexible and pliable but at a certain point it broke in half. I baked it for 250 degrees for one hour. What did I do wrong?

[@myclayco]

Thank you! 🥰 I would likely say it’s the clay you’ve used, Sculpey III is great for modelling but not so great for thin things like earrings and bookmarks, it will be brittle and break. Try using Sculpey Premo or Soufflé and that should fix the issue ☺️

Newbie..just learning..how did you get your clay to that size to begin with..is that a full package.. I can’t get the oblong shape ..only rounds 😒 thanks.

[@myclayco]

You could try then cutting your circle of clay in half, layering them to make a longer shape and then folding and rolling a couple of times 😊

@@myclayco yes .. great videos .. n love the dog too 🤗… I guess I need to practice more .. thanks

Awesome Do you have a video how to put those drill bits without they going in while using them cause I’m having a hard time with mine, thanks

[@myclayco]

We actually do! It’s an old video but hopefully it helps. I find the trick it to tighten it with pliers then the bits don’t slip 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWmqfH54jt2SsJIsi=DVQM9VL-yC0KyhDI
