"Peppermint candy" bracelet on memory wire - polymer clay tutorial 473

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

It seems I didn't explain properly in the video. The extruded sausage already has a hole as you extrude it. If you notice, I mention a "core adapter", and if you follow the link in the video description, you can see a set in the Influencer store, with 3 core adapters of various sizes. The size is the little thingamajig protrusion in the middle. You first put the core adapter then the die. That way, the rounded sausage you extrude already has a hole in it. Do not cut the extruded sausage before baking though, as you will squish the hole.

Kalyana Design Tutorials That is such a cute bracelet! You are so creative. I would never think of doing something like that. I thought the hole in the extruded snake was fairly self explanatory. You did mention the core adaptor AND said you’d put a link to it. That tells me it’s a special die that doesn’t come with extruder. Maybe that’s just the curse of being a scientist...logic and reasoning come natural to me. :-)

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! Actually and honestly, it's my fault. I tend to forget that sometimes people who watch my tutorials are really really just beginners, and might not catch it if I go over it fast. Considering the fact that my channel is mostly targeted towards beginning artists and elderly/disabled artists, that is really my fault. I need to pay more attention to that

[@CPC-Wanda]

I've never even heard of a core extruded die. Man I learn something new every time I come to your channel. Thanks bunches! Ahhh, now where do I get one? 😁

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

It's not really a die, it's an adapter. If you go to the link in the video description, you can see a package that has three of them. They make different size holes depending on the size of the pin. You place that first then the regular die.

Nice and easy. Your videos are great and so inspiring!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

Sweet!! A lot of extruder fun, for sure. I've had the core adapters for quite some time, but have never used them. So, cool! Love the variety of beads put in here and there, adds a lot of interest. Enjoyed, as always! Thanks, Day! Thought, can just a touch of peppermint extract go into the clay, just for fun? Might make it too likely to be eaten... which is not a good idea. I know it's not toxic, but not recommended to be eaten either, lol. Probably don't know the long term risks of eating plastic. May not be nearly as bad as what's considered as food on the shelves of the grocery store. You could come up with many faux dishes that would look enticing, not the little food charms that are seen everywhere, but full gourmet selections. Stopping now, I'm getting too hungry, and Premo Spanish Olive clay is right here on my table in front of me. Still, the peppermint sounds better, so when I get to the store I'll have to pick up some peppermint candy, if they have it in sugar-free.... Oh, I have Peppermint clay in FIMO. Nah, I'll wait for the store....

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! Actually I totally forgot about the peppermint oil! Yes, you can put a drop of it in th white clay thar is the base for the candy beads. The heat from the hand will activate it.

Super cute !

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@ramonatemple786]

Love this I have all the supplies and can make this soon! Thanks for the inspiration!, By the way in your video it was very clear about the hole adapter!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! I am glad you'll have fun with it. And you can make candy ear rings too! The thing with the explanation was because the lady isn't a native English speaker. Got a translation by google (apparently google did a good job) and now all is clear! I love having subscribers from all over the world, but sometimes it makes things a bit hard for them. I can't wait for KZbin to start the automatic translation captions.

[@romanticcrafter]

Very clever... Looks good enough to eat

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! Put a drop of peppermint essential oil in the clay and it will also SMELL good enough to eat! lol

[@tamaraeidsvik8307]

yes, I understood everything well !!!!!!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Awesome!

[@tamaraeidsvik8307]

very stylish beautiful bracelet thank you very much but I did not see how you made a hole in the circle ?

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

The hole is already made by the core adapter. You place first the core adapter on the extruder then the round die. That way, when the "sausage" comes out, it already has the hole in the middle. That is why I said you need to have your clay well conditioned, because it's harder to push the clay out than with just the die.Don't cut the sausage before it's baked though, you will squish the hole.

[@ЮлияШанина-б2э]

Super!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@JIC7146]

Day that's really cute :)

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you, JC

[@MadebyaBEAutifulqueenBea]

I just bought my daughter, 10 yrs old, more clay.... maybe she can make this for me. Lol jk. Super AWESOME video 💙🐝💙

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

That shouldn't be too hard to make, even for a child. Except the extruder part, that requires a bit of strength of hands

[@tamaraeidsvik8307]

1000 thanks for the details !!!!!!!!!! I am studying in your lessons and I do not know your language and sorry for the annoyance of all the best to you !!!!!!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

It's absolutely fine, Tamara. That is why I asked what language you speak, so I can try and translate the explanation.

[@tamaraeidsvik8307]

@@KalyanaDesignTutorials Russian and Norwegian I was fascinated by modeling and this is something that I lacked all my life. I don’t have much but every evening I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Тамара, это адаптер, который вы положили в экструдер. У этого есть булавка посередине. Вы используете это и кладете кубик поверх него. Таким образом, когда глина выходит из экструдера, у нее уже есть отверстие внутри. Я поместил ссылки в описание видео в мой магазин amazon influencer. Это небольшой пакет с тремя круглыми объектами, которые выглядят как кубик, существуют разные размеры, насколько большой штифт посередине определяет, насколько велика дыра в глине. Надеюсь, google переведен достаточно хорошо.

[@1Sweetness]

I tried working with memory wire and it was to hard for me I gave it to my oldest son to make bracelets with

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Maybe you gave up too fast?

[@tamaraeidsvik8307]

so you can share a secret? how to make holes in a circle ?I'd like to repeat your success

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. It's no secret. The core adapters are specifically made to allow you to make cylinders with a hole in the middle, ready to be strung. When a tool is made and sold for a specific purpose, that purpose is far from being a secret. It's like asking me to share with you the "secret" of cabochon molds.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

If English is not your native language, please tell me which is, so I can try and translate the information for you.

[@marinaclaudin9974]

I think that is too accelerate, you shouldn’t accelerate the start of each step
