[@Brown_Bear496]

Hi! I saw that flower tray on pinterest and fell in love with it but I didn't know how to make it. I looked on youtube for any turtorials how to make it but I did not see any. Then I saw your video and was so happy. After I watched your video, I did check out you profile and your videos and all I can say is that you have gotten a new subscriber😊

[@sweetlifediy]

Hi, thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked the video 😊

Please make molded clay at home please

[@hiraanis5463]

How?

[@urfavcrocheter]

6/100 commenting on clay vids so the algorithm gives me clay shorts

[@imanebachri9841]

Wooooah smart move for the algorithm to fucking understand what we want, also try deleting old videos

[@likeadiamond23]

Super cute

[@imanebachri9841]

Woooah I wanna learn this!!

[@hafsakashif2658]

Does homemade air dry clay works for this tray making?

[@CNDIYsCorner]

So nice ❤

[@twosistersdiy4339]

Hello,Omg those look so cute!! And may I know what brand of paint you use because I'm not sure what to use since some of their coverage isn't really that good. Love your videos btw❤❤

[@sweetlifediy]

Hi, thank you! 😊 I use the Mont Marte acrylic paint set that I got from Amazon! It’s a little thick so I use water to thin it out a bit and I usually need at least 2-3 coats for a good coverage! If you already have paint you can try painting a few more coats to see if you need new paints!

[@twosistersdiy4339]

​@@sweetlifediy Thank you soo much!!! I actually have monte marte but as you've said they do need more coats.

[@gourichandna]

so cute

[@papow2525]

Hi, Thanks for your tutorial. It's very adorable >

[@sweetlifediy]

Hi, thank you for watching! I applied acrylic paint directly to the dried clay trays. I have heard applying a layer of primer can help the paint adhere to the trays but I have had no problems with just applying a few coats of acrylic paint for my projects!

[@samaaa8400]

cutee

[@kanak4163]

so cute tytytyty

[@buckbeans7748]

How many grams of clay did you use in one trinket dish?

[@xiqikxx8967]

Any suggestions on how to keep the clay from sticking to the bottom?…I’ve tried wax paper and putting flour to the bottom but nothing seems to work….ended up breaking my creation because it was completely stuck to the surface

[@sweetlifediy]

Conditioning your clay before you use it will remove excess moisture! I’ve tried parchment paper and it worked but I think clay artists use plywood for their surfaces! My clay usually doesn’t get too sticky so I just use my craft mat. If it does get stuck I have a very thin and long blade I can scrape to get my creation out

[@coldpear5616]

Very nice video. May I know what clear paint you used last, what it is toxic to, and where to find it?

[@sweetlifediy]

I used varnish from decoart to glaze the pieces after painting! It's available at art & crafts stores (I got mine from Michaels). I don't know if they are non-toxic but they are definitely less toxic than uv resin. It's best to be cautious and work in a well-ventilated area when using.

[@izzahhaider]

I need to make this to sell them for a project, how long do you think it would take to make 30? If i sculpted them, then painted once dried etc

[@sweetlifediy]

If you are making trays for the first time I suggest you make only one first then check the quality before making more! You should also score & slip to attach pieces together. I was making these for the first time as a diy project and wasn’t making these to sell. The time needed will vary for everyone depending on their skill levels!

[@Artsiyana]

Hi and omg those are adorable.. love them so much 🩷 how would you sand without sanding paper?

[@sweetlifediy]

Hi, thank you! ❤️ Sanding paper will probably be the easiest and cheapest option but maybe if you have a nail drill/rotary tool it can also work! You can also skip the sanding process if you smooth out the clay really well with water before you leave it to dry!

[@Hi-wz9wc]

Maybe a nail file will work

[@Eternalbeingg]

Could you give some tips to be able to control your air dry clay like that? I always struggle with getting the shape and the amount of water I use-

[@sweetlifediy]

Hi, having some clay tools (rolling pin, sculpting tools, clay blades) can help a lot with your creations! After using air dry clay for a while, I found that conditioning your clay (kneading for a few minutes) before you use it can help reduce cracks when it dries! Sometimes the clay feels too dry and you will need to add some water to condition it. When attaching 2 clay pieces together, the best practice is to score both pieces and apply some slip to attach them together to reduce cracks. It was my first time making clay trays so I didn't know about score & slip at the time of this video. Clay trays dry pretty slowly so you can take your time shaping them and apply a little water if the surface starts to dry!

[@Eternalbeingg]

@@sweetlifediy Thank you! I honestly didn’t think you’d reply, but I this really helped me :], thanks again, I’ll definitely use this to improve.

[@angelicoral]

Hey! I was wondering what glaze do you use ?

[@sweetlifediy]

Hi, I had limited materials back then so I was using sculpey gloss glaze meant for polymer clay! I use mont marte clay varnish and decoart varnish nowadays for my air dry clay pieces.

[@Yourfav_brunette02]

Hi!But what to do if my clay i bought is brown how can it be white with pain colors or what ,btw i love your videos❤

[@sweetlifediy]

Hi, thank you! ❤️ After your air dry clay piece is fully dry, you can paint over them! You might need to apply more layers of paint than you would with white air dry clay

[@PranithaSuryadevara]

Hey its amzing ❤what kind of clay it is where i can find it😊

[@sweetlifediy]

Thanks! I use DAS air dry clay and you can find it on Amazon or local arts & crafts stores 😊

[@nazrulkabir2942]

Wow

[@nikkituanqui3464]

hii question what air dry clay do you use?

[@sweetlifediy]

Hi, I used DAS air dry clay for these trays!

[@afreenzeb8729]

What glaze you use?

[@sweetlifediy]

I was using sculpey gloss glaze in the video but now I am mostly using mont marte clay glaze and decoart varnish!

[@LoreenaKlein1]

how do you make the back of your dish smooth without ruining the front?

[@sweetlifediy]

You can sand the back after the dish dries fully!

[@KayeshaBrillantes]

how much did you spend to buy those materials? Just asking hehehe and did you buy it online?

[@sweetlifediy]

I’ve accumulated a lot of materials over the years so I’m not sure on the exact amount (definitely over $100) 😅 I buy a lot of materials from aliexpress and Amazon, and I also buy materials in store at Michaels!

[@Ayesha208]

Hey can anyone tell what is sandingg? And what kind of paints do we use , acrylics??

[@sweetlifediy]

Sanding is a process used to smooth the clay pieces after it’s fully dried! I use sandpaper for sanding as seen in the video~ The most popular paint choice for air dry clay pieces is acrylic paint but others may work too!

[@ruxiealibo]

What paint did you use

[@sweetlifediy]

I use Mont Marte acrylic paint!

[@Meandmysimplelife-19]

What type of paint is it?

[@sweetlifediy]

I used acrylic paint!
