How to Print on Polymer Clay (4 Easy Ways!)

In this video I show you how to print any picture, pattern or design you want on unbaked polymer clay. I show you how to use ANY printer to print (b&w / colorful) on polymer clay. I also show you how to transfer any drawings from normal paper to polymer clay. And also how to use stamps and cutters to print some patterns on polymer clay. You can use these technics to make patterns for doll's clothes or for polymer clay jewelry.

The transparency film idea is GOLD! Im so glad it works with inkjet. I have several packages of it because I occasionally make my own silkscreens so this is amazing!😊❤

[@lynxlady5355]

I hadn't seen any of these transfer methods before so this video was a wonderful surprise! I'm going to try them all to see which ones I like best. I really appreciated the quality of your video and the way you had everything all set up so you could quickly go from one demonstration to the next without flipping a lot of things around the screen. It was nice having all the techniques on the screen to compare the results to each other. Just FYI, the background music made it very difficult to hear your voice. It would be helpful on future videos if you would lower the volume considerably or just leave it out since people are tuning into your channel to listen to the information you are sharing rather than the music. Thanks for sharing these great options for transferring images to clay.

[@CoffeeCupids]

Thank you for your feedback and I am so glad you liked this video. I will definitely lower the music volume next time. I put it there to kinda hide my wired accent and awkward pauses 😅🤣 I don’t have self confident🥲

Hi Ela, I really liked all of these ways of adding designs to polymer clay. I only knew one of these ideas before I saw your video today.

All of them are great ideas, but may I ask whether the ingredients in stamps or glitter are safe for baking? ❤

[@user-ty1vg4zx8l]

Thank you so much for showing us your techniques! I've learned a lot! I was wondering if you seal after baking? Also, do you know if the print is durable and lasts a long time on the clay after its baked? Or will it fade, rub off, etc? Thank you!

[@CoffeeCupids]

Generally if I use mica powder on the clay I would seal them because it rubes off (not completely but still…). For the ones with ink it is good to seal but not necessary imo. I haven’t sealed any of these and they look great even now. 😊

With what type of polymer clay can you transfer it to the acetate paper and how to print it on the acetate paper.

Ciao,bel tutorial.Volevo chiederti:ma le prime stampe su fogli di acetato,credo,sono fatte con una stampante laser o una inkjet?Grazie

Me gusto mucho tu video excelente explicación,me interesa saber que lamina transparente usaste para transferir a color la arcilla amazon hay muchas y nose que tener en cuenta para comprar ,tengo impresora inyec,mil gracias

[@CoffeeCupids]

The normal ones are better than ones that are designed for printer. They should be slippery on both sides. If you use the ones that are made for printer, you should print on the slippery side.

[@helenai13]

Thank you for sharing all these options. I assume these techniques are applicable on air dry clay as well?

I unfortunately haven’t done them on air dry clay. But it definitely worth a try (on a small piece of clay ideally)

This video is great. Thanks for sharing these tips. Does the nail polish remover have to contain acetone? Also could you print a design onto normal paper to use this method? thanks x

​@@CoffeeCupids what type of paper ? I didn't get this part?

[@mialoy406]

Hello! I love your videos! I have a question. How do you seal the clay after baking without the ink/mica powder smearing?

[@CoffeeCupids]

In my experience some of the inks won’t come off after baking, but for the ones that do, I use Fimo glass/matt varnish depending on my desire finish. You can also use resin, or any other sealers compatible with your clay brand.

[@borborsasa]

Thanks for the video which is very useful. Does it have to be polymer clay? Can it be air dried clay?

[@CoffeeCupids]

Some might work with air dry clay but I haven’t tried.

[@IheartDVDs]

Are you using an ink jet printer or a laser toner printer?

[@Arya.Diamond]

Hi, thanks for your tutorial was great. I have a question, I have tried several times to do the inkjet printer paper and acetone method and I don't get any ink transfer and I can't figure out why this method isn't working? Any ideas?

[@CoffeeCupids]

The printer transfer only works with transparent film (the non sticky ones or if you use the ones meant for printers, use the non sticky side). For the other method my nail polish remover is acetone free, maybe try that ☺️❤️

[@katewelsh1285]

Do you need to adjust the settings on the inkjet printer when using the plastic film?

No, use the normal settings ☺️

@@nataliyaromanyuk3914 No, me refiero a que las películas que pongo en el enlace aquí tienen dos lados diferentes, en un lado la tinta se pegará y se secará, en el otro lado la tinta permanecerá fresca para que puedas usarla en tu arcilla. Puede intentar imprimir en cada lado de la película para ver cuál funciona. Solo póngalo en la impresora como lo haría normalmente con cualquier papel. Para imprimir, simplemente elija los patrones que no sean demasiado audaces y gruesos, de lo contrario, habrá demasiada tinta y podría derramarse sobre la arcilla.
