Polymer clay tutorial - How to finish your jewelry or project by sanding part l

[@merryclicker]

Awesome idea! Instead of just gluing your sandpaper, use velcro dots, so you can replace the sandpaper. You may also consider using a paper punch to cut out your sandpaper circles. You did a good job, and that pendant piece was gorgeous!

I'm by no means a youngster but i've just started learning about using polymer clay to make jewelry, i'm very excited about it and hope i can some day sell my jewelry. Thanks for sharing your wonderful advice.. Heather :-)

Great video and Martha's idea on using Velcro is genius. I also did this with denim and felt and the toothbrush makes a fabulous buffing tool as well!

[@sofalvarez]

Hahaha omg that electric toothbrush hack is GENIUS!!

[@annebritraaen939]

I melted the brus flat, and used Pritt Multi-Tack to adhere the paper. You can make one brush for each paper-grade and one for polishing.

[@annebritraaen939]

Better to cut the brush low, and not melt.

What is the best sanding paper to use for polymer clay charms ?

[@Lyn4817]

Remember this is an old posting even though it has good ideas. Nowadays we can but the Poly Fast battery operated Sanders or use attachments on Dermal or Rotary Tools

I noticed your electric toothbrush is an oscillating one, would just the standard vibrating ones work or is the shifting what sands it so well?

Did you ever get an answer? I would like to know as well :)

[@Me-mb1ex]

Nope, I never did :(
