Marbled Polymer Clay Rings (So Easy Even Your Kids Could Make One!)

How to make marbled polymer clay rings with Fimo soft. This polymer clay tutorial is suitable for beginners (it's so easy even your children could do it!).
I made this video in response to a viewers DM about ring making for kids and after some experimentation I discovered this cool technique for making rings with polymer clay.
Making these rings was great fun and I hope it inspires you to get creative and make some interesting jewellery. It might even keep the kids occupied for an afternoon!

Aaah yash! The black ocean ring. INT +10, HP + 100, dreadlock hair growth + INFINITE. Brilliant piece bro \m/

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Hahahaha infinite dread + 10 nose 😂

[@johnreilly4577]

Dan a very good video. Simple technique aimed at the whole family and Christmas just around the corner. The plastic measuring triangles are set squares. Previously used as drawing aides when producing technical drawings.

[@deemedappropriate4790]

Love your videos, your so positive and uplifting attitude keeps me entertained with every video.

[@zunie3792]

Excellent job!!! I just wanted to thank you for the inspiration!!! Currently I am rocking a new Burl wood with a copper inlay wedding ring. That I learned how to do from you. Thank you so much for sharing your skills! Keep up the good work, and stay healthy friend!

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Bosh! Thank you dude :)

[@andrewfrost8866]

Absolutely wonderful!

[@ashleymarie5500]

Thank you so much for this!! I’m making one for my boyfriend this Valentine’s Day

[@BlackCat_2]

Very cool. I have made rings out of just polymer clay before and it was fun. :) It was the reason I bought a metal ring mandrel so I could bake the clay on the mandrel. Do be careful what kind of plastic you let the clay touch or store it in. Polymer clay will "eat" some plastics if left in contact long enough. Also clay left out will eventually dry out but it will take a long time and even if not left out. Sometimes I have bought it from the stores dried out and crumbly. I had to spend a long time reconditioning it and adding oils to get it workable again. :) Would love to see more rings like this using Polymer Clay. - Heidi

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Great advice, hope the clay doesn’t melt my tubs lol

[@BlackCat_2]

@@ZebranoWoodCraft Yeah I learned the hard way a few times when I accidentally left plastic things near my clay. It ate holes in some of it and some was just melted. Also glad you mentioned mokume gane. I love doing that with polymer clay. So many patterns you can make the possibilities are endless. :D Oh and I use cooking oils to recondition severely dried out clay.

[@carolleggett2072]

Love your video shows everyone that you don't have to have all fancy tools to make something fantastic. I use a sharp medium size kitchen knife to cut my clay.

[@921DON]

Real cool rings,have to give a go as am stuck for some different ideas , thanks for the inspiration

[@MissGroves]

What a great video, so much fun

[@darkljs]

Those look awesome! I think I'll try to make a ring blank out of wood and do this 🤔 no idea if it will work out well, but it doesn't hurt to try

[@billunv]

Great idea!

[@cheryl130clark]

Those are beautiful!!

[@user-vd2op1nz8q]

I love your rings. Hope this is helpful. The product is pronounced fee mo. I sold it for years. Love the special effects with you as the water sounds. Thanks for getting back to basics with your things you find in the house to as a work kit. It's my favorite way to work!!!

[@rhettcoxhill2583]

I was only wondering the other day, if I could incorporate fimo, as my daughter is always making rings with it!! Nice one!!

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Haha yeah man I’m surprised that nobody has done this with ring blanks on KZbin already! There’s tons of potential for cool designs.

No problem! Enjoy making some cool rings!

[@chrisfalcon9804]

Going to try tomorrow.

[@azizcrew]

I love these rings. I have the clay and rings on order. Can't wait to give it a try. I was wondering how durable the clay is for rings?

[@stormyeffects4795]

You can like your pan or whatever you use for the oven part with aluminum foil so that you can use it with food again (after the foil is removed)

[@Ghosty_boi546]

My sister has got a polymer clay she loves it she loves your channel too 😀😍

[@metalgirl]

FEEEEMO! Love your videos. I make rings too! Sculpey Premo is good as well!🎉

[@ElierOlivos]

Hermoso.

[@yowgyrl]

Polymer clay can be made to look like so many stones, gems and stone. It's very versatile - but it has a "cheap" resale value because it is plastic after all. But these look very nice.

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Thank you! Yeah it’s not as magical as a rare mineral or fossil but still an interesting material. I’m looking forward to learning a lot more techniques :)

[@Crystalscraftsandchaos]

Look great! Ty! Do u seal the rings?

[@craigstannard3391]

Could you keep it shallow in the channel and then use uv resin over it?

[@emmitt4313]

I would think so

[@craigstannard3391]

@@emmitt4313 thanks! I think I'll give it a go.

[@NataschaBurnett1978]

Can you do the clay and then wood (vaneer) inside the clay? Or inlay the wood after the bake?

[@slimjim3229]

Wonder if the clay would work on a Brentwood blank, then bake, then cut a groove for sterling wire inset, then cover with .CA or epoxy?

[@peterrelax9537]

wooo exelent

[@tonilove8245]

Triangle thingy is called ( or was called when I was at school) a set square

[@TeeRql]

awesome tutorial. thank you! what would i use if i wanted the clay to have more of a glossy/shiny look?

[@cattfishing]

A resin top coat, or varnish. Uv resin works pretty good and is easier to use since it's an almost instant cure. But if you're not careful with what type(there are many) and how you apply it. It could peel or chip off. Well, any of these things could chip or peel if the surface isnt prepared properly. Make sure to let cure for long enough too. Anyway. I use my uv nail gel top coat to finish. Its probably the easiest to use as it comes in a brush on bottle like normal polish. But when I use other uv gels and resins, I just use a flat brush, or toothpicks at times. I am not talking about using regular nail polish top coat. Most nail polish reacts with the polymer clay and will turn sticky and goopy over time. Anyhooo, sorry for the book. I hope it helps tho:) lol

[@TeeRql]

@@cattfishing this helps a lot thank you! i never thought to use a clear uv gel nail polish as a finish. (which i currently have). i will try it out ☺️

[@Ben-uk5qt]

@@cattfishing Using a varnish, you wouldn’t need to sand and polish down the final ring, right? From my limited understanding, varnish just applies a transparent shine to the product, would that be all? Thanks!

[@roybrower990]

Cool....how strong are they...can they take normal day to day use with out breaking / chipping ??

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

I don’t think they’d stand up to serious punishment but they’d be hella cheap to replace!

[@aliceball3687]

Where did you get the actual ring from? It looks so good

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Links in the description of the video 👊🏽😎

[@griff2000]

Hi dan good work looks fantastic where do you get that clay from. Just had some dichrolam delivered and its glass cant bend that. If you can help a fellow welsh boy that would be a great help keep up the good work and videos. Griff

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Cheers dude - links in the description for Fimo clay (they are Amazon links so I get a small commission if anyone uses them and makes a purchase). You can also get polymer clay/fimo here in the UK from Hobbycraft/The Range. For Dichrolam go to www.ringsupplies.com as he has sheets made for ring makers. Hope that helps boyo! Dan

[@griff2000]

[@jackiedavies3751]

To cook polymer clay in an oven place the item in a foil baking tray and then clip another one on top and you are then safe to use in your oven, hope this helps.

[@MissGroves]

Polymer clay comes in just about any colour

[@robertthomas9335]

@@MissGroves been watching a lot of videos on this and see you can use mica powder. This is going to be great for my project.

Yeah man there’s a lot of colours but as long as you have red, blue and yellow you can mix anything you like :)

[@metteudengaard8831]

Can you use wood?

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Yeah definitely. Very different process but you could inlay wood into metal cores. I’m sure there’s a way to inlay clay into wood too :)

[@shellyomeara1067]

Pronounced Feemo (Fimo)

[@sscarletko2610]

How mm is the ring?

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

8mm ✅

[@berniejones9339]

I bought some Fimo clay and it’s so hard I’ll never buy this brand again! I had some premo for years and it’s still soft.

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Ah yes I used Fimo soft - not sure if I mentioned that in the vid.

Since you did a waposh and punched at the screen your now required to make a Jacksepticeye ring and send it to him that is the law for using a waposh and fist within 10seconds of eachother

lol - pronounce feemo lol

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

Optimus Preem would be impressed 😂

[@metalgirl]

No no no… don’t put your polymer clay in an oven that you use all the time for baking food you eat. It’s toxic. Please get a little tiny toaster oven and bake your clay in that.😙 Ohhh your oven is broken… ok!
