How to Use Washi Tape on Polymer Clay Earrings | Olivia Heyward

[@NaNana-ey6jk]

My washi tape came from the dollar tree. Check it out!

[@vikkimaree4564]

I hello from Sydney Australia. I’m only a newby polymer clayer and at present overwhelmed with all the different techniques that can be applied to polymer clay. I didn’t know that washi tape could be baked on polymer clay. I have so many gorgeous washi tapes so that is definitely going to be my next practice. Thank you so much for your inspiring and bubbly personality, I’m hooked on you and will definitely be following to see what awesome designs you come up with. ❤🎉🎉 Cheers Vikki

[@OliviaHeyward]

Hey Vikki, welcome to the club!! Yes it’s such a fun add on so many prints out there!! Aww thanks for the kind words!! Happy to inspire you to try new things!!

[@vikkimaree4564]

I just baked my polymer clay with the washi tape on it, I thought it would have stuck to the clay better. I can actually peel the washi tape off. Should I just cover it with resin now to adhere it in place.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

@@vikkimaree4564 You need to cover it with something. You could even cover it with Mod Podge if not resin (or something else).

[@elleyam6876]

​@@OliviaHeywarddo u put anything over the tape to keep it in place?

[@elleyam6876]

And anything over the glitter?

[@shalyntackett2505]

Oh my goodness… so I’m 27 seconds in, never seen any of your videos before and here are my first thoughts… your jewelry is GORGEOUS!! I LOVE rose gold and glitter. Lots of glitter! And then, the ‘dun dun dun duuuh!’ Made me giggle and I thought I like this lady!!! Then you said ‘more glitter’.. ha! You have won my heart and I’m subscribing to your channel 😄 I’m brand new to jewelry making and am so excited about all of it, so I can’t wait to see more from you! ❤️

[@OliviaHeyward]

Omg!! Shalyn I’m excited to have you be apart of the squad!! Girl give me all the glitter ✨ I’m glad we are on the same glitter wave!! 😍 Can’t wait to share more of my journey with you guys!!

[@TheGoofyMaker787]

These were super cute! Makes me want to try polymer clay 💗

[@OliviaHeyward]

It's so fun! time consuming to do it right but it's worth it!

[@artistablues]

Okay.. pulling out the clay box😂

[@jennakafer2331]

SO BEAUTIFUL! Question: Is the better to put the washi tape on before or after the clay is baked?

[@OliviaHeyward]

I put mine on before.. But I'm sure you could do either way.

[@miniscenesgb]

wonderful work! Does the glitter not melt when you bake the clay?

[@OliviaHeyward]

Thank you! Nope not at all!

[@miniscenesgb]

@@OliviaHeyward wow amazing info thank you!

[@RosasUtopia]

Nice share i have to try this. 🙂

You should!

[@celiavasquez9657]

I love this video! Polymer clay, resin, washi tape all in one! Brilliant! Also love how real you are by showing your workspace and how a craft room really looks like! It truly is the REAL REAL! Them polka dots, each pattern looked great! Gives you more to choose from.

[@OliviaHeyward]

Thanks for watching!!! Appreciate you!

[@gloriagarrisonsuddath6421]

Olivia, I love your tutorials. They are very well put together. I am a beginner to polymer clay and actually I haven't yet been able to start yet. I love the way you put the glitter onto the product. I will definitely be watching more of your videos.

[@OliviaHeyward]

Thank you for being here!! I’m glad you are enjoying the content! 😘😘

[@brankatomic7376]

Hello. I like your video, interesting topic. The only thing I don't like is speeding up the video, I don't know about other viewers, but I get a headache from promoting fast images in front of my eyes. so I am giving up on all videos that are sped up. I know you do it with good intentions, but don't do it anymore. I can speed up the video myself or skip a part of the video. Thank you. Keep up the good and interesting work.💝

[@OliviaHeyward]

Sorry if I didn’t speed up my videos they would be hours long! You should watch my live videos they probably will be more to your liking! I try to do both. Enjoy ☺️

[@melbabowen4389]

I really love them!! You are so talented!! I loved ALL of them! Very nice instructions as well. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and work with us!!

[@OliviaHeyward]

You are so welcome 🤗

[@terrilemberger5840]

I always had a hard time with the washi tape staying on the clay….maybe I need to put a line of liquid clay a long the edge. I will try again. Love your earrings, and fun petsonality

[@OliviaHeyward]

Yes that’s a good idea. It doesn’t really stick all the way but once I put the resin it’s fine! Thank you for watching!!!

[@zillathompson8288]

Happy birthday! Thank you for showing us your space, mine is so disorganized 😫. Purple is my favorite colour too! I liked the long half circle ones the best! I love your use of mixed media's with clay. Happy to have found this channel 🤗❤

[@OliviaHeyward]

Aww so glad you found me!!! Happy you are here!!!

[@melodyengland4439]

Thanks for a great video & a great way to use washi tape, but what was your oven temperature & how long did you bake these, also when did you add the holes?

[@OliviaHeyward]

My oven was my normal 250-265 depending on the clay I'm using. I usually bake all my earrings for about 60-90 mins once again depending on clay add my holes after they are baked and sanded.

[@melodyengland4439]

@@OliviaHeyward Hi there, thanks for the info about the baking temps & when is best to add the holes, i have washi tape & looking forward to making jewelry.

[@JoharaFlairllc]

hello I love you channel I am new to making jewelry do you have any tips on how to bake your clay because I keep burning mine I really need help

[@OliviaHeyward]

Low temp! Get a oven thermometer and make sure your oven is at the right temperature. I usually bake mine around 250 for 1 to 1 hr and half depends on clay and thickness.

[@belleveHER]

Sorry had to mention if anyone ever told you that you look like Reesa Tessa? I had to look twice thinking it was her. It's the eyes I believe 😊 beautiful video as always. Stay blessed

[@alexmentaldetermination8523]

So these earrings are super cute. Just love them. But, I have a quick question for you, I like the use of washi tape and I wondered if you’ve ever used card stock to decorate earrings after baking. I have tons of cute cardstock and wondered if you think that would work. Was thinking of using resin in top. If you have done so, would you be willing to make a video about trying cardstock on your earrings?

[@OliviaHeyward]

Yes, I have done the card stock before. Definitely will one day!

[@sarassmith6900]

Your earrings are beautiful. I made some earrings for my self i really love them. It’s lasting very with washi tapes. Lots fun making earrings.

[@idarogers341]

These are amazingly beautiful. Be proud of your work because I just found your videos and enjoyed this so much. Very clever and love your personality.

[@OliviaHeyward]

Thank you so much! means the world!

[@faithpopenoe5404]

I love this thank you I just found Clay and have soooo much washi from having it for my planners

[@Countrynz]

Hello Olivia, I am from New Zealand, I love all sorts of crafts, but I must say you have inspired me to get making some earrings. I have a number of washi tapes so tomorrow I am going to give your wonderful idea a try. I am now subscribed to your channel. Your instruction is at the top, bless you. Jennifer

[@OliviaHeyward]

Yayyy Jennifer! I'm excited to hear you are trying out this technique!! I have some other ones I want to do soon as well!

[@jeiacosby5248]

Came across your channel by accident. Watched and now I wanna try creating with clay. As if I needed something else to get addicted to. 😊

[@jnfr2702]

So I know this video is a year old but I just found it. I just got into polymer clay (like, really a week ago lol) I'm OBSESSED! This is a brilliant idea! I was wondering if there's anything special you have to do when baking? I know you bake at such a low temp but I'm always paranoid that things will burn. I cannot wait to try this! these are beautiful!

[@OliviaHeyward]

Nothing special just the normal low baking temp is the only thing required! Thank you for watching! Welcome to the clay addicted club 😂

[@sarahlewis7669]

Cover with a tin foil tent, less prone to burn. Good luck and God Bless.

[@rosedolch8637]

Love the polka dots.. You're a genius!! Happy belated Birthday Olivia!!

[@OliviaHeyward]

Thanks Rose!!

[@EJPARSONSUK]

So, so pretty and they look fab on. I really liked them before the dots but I love them as well with the polka dots, just adds a little something extra. I agree though, the ones with less dots just win out. I had no idea you could bake washi tape, so that's great to know. Loved the video, great fun to watch. Had to laugh at the long shot of your work space, the trials of having a creative mind!! 😄 and what a fab birthday gift, lucky you! Looking forward to more vids .... and those earrings do look gorgeous on you!! Gonna try some washi tape on my clay, you've inspired me 🤗

Instead of lines try using curves on the washi and could still put glitter on..saw it on utube but can’t remember who did it

Hi - I'm a polymer clay addict. Wondering do you use any glue on the washi tape?

I actually did not use any glue just put it right down. Although you would need to seal it with something like a resin or a varathane or something like that.

Hello Olivia! Glad I ran into your channel. I’m new to polymer clay and making earrings, like a week into it, but I have a question what do the back of your earrings look like after baking? I’ve noticed on mine, not all but some have like little divits/ tiny craters I guess hope that makes sense are they supposed to be perfect in the back? Also what do you use to attach your back studs? Thank you

[@OliviaHeyward]

They need to be finished so you need to sand or use some acetone!! I can make a video to explain more but if you watch enough of my videos I talk about it on them on how to make the backs buttery soft.
