[@julissimo1]

Thank you, Samantha, for this video of the lovely Silent Night jewelry. I just love it! You are so talented and generous to share your skills with us. 💕

[@Lisa.Sparkman]

I think this would look good in a midnight blue color as well. This is truly stunning.

[@deborahkatz5847]

I really enjoyed watching your winters night and starry night tutorials. As a newbie to polymer clay it was great to see the process from making the pieces and then how to put it all together.

[@BrendaFaye]

Very pretty.

[@BethBArtz]

What a gorgeous project, Samantha. I think you saved my life. I've been fussing around with gifts for two people, and I'm not fussing any more. They'll get these! Thank you so much!

[@Mayrag4me]

[@persesrathert8324]

This will have so many uses for Christmas time especially. I really love the beaded necklace you made. Since I am a beginner it helps. I hope I'll be ready for what you come up with when it's more complex! Thank you so much! The reductions are so helpful!

[@BronzeDragon133]

Beautiful work! And I'd love to see a more complicated snowflake.

[@melllat]

Awesome love it I have to try this

[@tamaraeidsvik8307]

1000000 THANK YOU !!!!!!!!

[@privatedeletebuttongooglei5221]

Beautiful snowflake canes Samantha. This is one of the best tutorials I have found. Especially the way you are teaching us how to go from the beginning to the end result of a necklace bracelet and earrings.

[@privatedeletebuttongooglei5221]

One question I have was about putting the beads on tissue paper so they won't get a flat spot. I was wondering what kind of tissue paper to use and how to do it so it won't catch on fire in the oven.

[@JessamaTutorials]

Any soft tissue will work. They shouldn't catch fire in the oven so long as they aren't touching the heating elements.

[@rehlorocco]

Love your videos! I would love to see a more complex snowflake. This is quite pretty though.

[@Penny.Royalty]

I agree. Please make a more complicated snowflake cane!

[@cherylbeardsley6263]

Them are really pretty I'm thinking of trying to make things.

[@agnieszkast193]

😍 😍 😍 😍 😍

[@popliliana739]

superb 👍💖

[@user-ii7ol8fy9s]

Великолепно!

[@MargaretSchindel]

Lovely as always, Samantha, and easy enough for most polymer clayers to make. I would love to see a complex snowflake cane as well!

[@crystalgarcia1845]

Love your tutorials. Would love it if you told us how much of a block of clay your using for each color in your tutorials.

[@lifewithdawna6426]

I had a thought to use these canes to make cover glass Christmas bulbs! Wish me luck!

[@JessamaTutorials]

Good luck. :D

[@anonymoususer172]

Very cool! I think I'll try this in white and blue. Ideas for more color combinations? ^_^

[@amberfaisal4888]

It's amazing ...... kindly if u don't mind tell me how to give shine ?

[@bethanymckittrick8644]

Winter comes to the USA officially on December 20-December 21, depending upon whom you ask, Samantha. Of course, if you're looking at the the weather then you could have Winter as soon October, even September if you're talking some places, like Colorado or especially Jackson Hole, Wyoming, 😳 ONE is REALLY TALKING ABOUT SNOW! 🌬❄

[@ZippedUpKitz]

How would one make a Star of David cane? Have you ever made one?

[@promoplus100]

I would love to see more complicated after I get this one lol

[@noemicarrion6883]

I am so happy to have found videos. I'm new at working with clay. Is there any suggests as to where I should start? Thank for sharing your tutorials with ua. Bless you.

[@JessamaTutorials]

I'd start here. I've a bunch of articles that will help and all of my tutorials are on here too. www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay-beginners.html

[@thebeadedhut]

Thank you for such a great tutorial. Question, have you done a comparison between the different types of polymer clay sealers such as varnish vs resin? Is one better that the other? What about long use? Thank you!!

[@JessamaTutorials]

I have a few articles about this. www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay-varnish.html www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay-resin.html www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay-wax.html www.jessamatutorials.com/liquid-polymer-clay-2.html

[@deewash436]

Perfect video as always!!!! Where did u get that drill?

[@JessamaTutorials]

I bought mine in South Africa, but here's one that will work really well. lindasartspot.patternbyetsy.com/listing/598634268/21-pcs-hand-pin-vise-swivel-double-head

[@nats423]

Great tutorial! Thanks. Do you prefer to drill your beads after baking rather than putting holes in before baking?

[@JessamaTutorials]

I like to drill after baking as it leaves a neat hole. If you used a pin to do it before baking the hole and the beads would be distorted.

[@srvntlilly]

I don't know where my first comment went so I'll try again. I do have a question. How long does it take to do the 3 coats of varathane up to the point just before drying them? You may have said, but I was playing with my cat while trying to watch this at the same time, lol. I did catch the part about them drying for a half hour. This is absolutely beauful! I really appreciate that you tutorials are so clear, simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much. 😊💕🌹

[@JessamaTutorials]

It took me around ten minutes to apply each coat, plus half an hour for each coat to dry. So the total time it took to finish the beads was around 2 hours.

[@MargaretSchindel]

Samantha said to let each coat of Varathane dry before applying the next coat, and that drying time for her in between coats was around 1/2 hour. (Your mileage could vary, depending on things like the temperature and humidity in the room you're working in.) Then she said to let the last coat of Varathane dry for a full hour. I hope that helps!

[@srvntlilly]

Margaret Schindel Yes, it does! Thank you!

[@srvntlilly]

Jessama Tutorials Thank you! ☺️

[@user-hc8bj8gp1j]

Очень красиво! Какой лак используете? Спасибо за мастер-класс!

[@JessamaTutorials]

I used Varathane. :D

[@angiep5216]

Beautiful and elegant. ..are the black beads clay ??? Can you use a dremel drill? ?

[@JessamaTutorials]

Yes. The black beads are polymer clay. You can use the dremel drill. You just need to find a safe way to hold the beads still while drilling.

[@tamaraeidsvik8307]

Very beautiful very beautiful work I like your work so much Share Share Where did you get such a drill ?thank you !!!!!!

[@JessamaTutorials]

I got the drill from South Africa while on holiday. You can get the pin drills on Amazon or eBay too.

[@MargaretSchindel]

Tamara Eidsvik That type of pin vise (that you push and the drill bit turns automatically) is sometimes called a “push drill”. Hope that helps when you’re shopping for one!

[@polymerclayinspired7248]

Did you use translucent as in instructions I could only see white clay

[@JessamaTutorials]

Yes. The translucent is what I used to pack the white stripes of cane. It's the part that went translucent once baked.

[@addjewelry]

23:08 Ooooooo

[@CamdenSmithNaples]

As usual I could not do this. I actually really put effort into it but I think I started out with two big of a piece and by the time I reduced it was gonna be such a huge snowflake LOL there’s no way I could make earrings so they are becoming round beads LOL

[@TheMCFV]

Amei só não entendo a sua língua não sei o que vc fala 😥😭
