POLYMER CLAY ESSENTIALS (as a small business owner) ✿ clay, tools, portable setup!

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

Artists and young women business owners like you are the reason I watch your videos with my niece. I know it's not easy and you've come a long way. But you have what it takes to push through and show younger artists that it can be done! You're a wonderful role model for sure! Thank You!

[@paulinehaas9726]

Amazing ❤

[@DanceintheRaine666]

What a lovely ritual.

[@kyraharvey2180]

“4 years later I’m still carrying this box” this makes my heart warm as a artist. As a artist and student I aspire to be this dedicated

[@minya8825]

90% of the time i watch your videos i create as well.i either animate or sculpt figures Honestly i hope this reaches you because your videos mean a lot to me

[@DanceintheRaine666]

Aww what a good idea.

[@emylatte]

Thank you for not gatekeeping Tammy! You’re the most sweetest down to earth Artist / KZbinr this is why I’m a huge fan & supporter 😊🤍

[@christinasteele3854]

THIS VIDEO IS SUCHHHH A GAME CHANGER !!!! Oooohhh im so excited !!! This was perfect !! So enthusiastic about it im bursting ! You just made one of my interests yet feels so out of reach and complicated to get into without a ton of experimentation and mess and confusion into the most accessible thing ever. Thank you for the clear info ! Supplies !! Tips !! And other things that your experience has gifted us with!! Super pumped to try and make some things now with all of these tips n tricks !!

[@MintBerriy]

Hiii soo i just found your channel... and i thought it was amazing!!! I do crochet also so here are 5 tips for crocheting! 1.) Choose the right yarn and hook for begginers, i recommend using a 3.0 or 3.5 mm hook. For the yarn i prefer acrylic or cotton yarn 2.) Learn Basic Stitches First Begin with the chain stitch (ch), single crochet (sc), and double crochet (dc). These are the foundation of many crochet patterns and are simple to master. 3.)Keep Tension Loose Don’t pull the yarn too tightly when you crochet. Loose tension will make it easier to insert your hook into the stitches, and your finished pieces will look more even. 4.)Practice Counting Stitches Make sure you count your stitches in each row to avoid accidentally adding or losing stitches. Mark the first or last stitch of a row with a stitch marker or safety pin to help you keep track. 5.)Watch Tutorials Watching video tutorials can be incredibly helpful when learning new techniques or troubleshooting problems. new sub! **I also love polymer clay**

[@ithadtobeleyledy]

You’ve given me motivation to continue sculpting and try and get my name out there. I made my first sale the other day and hope to keep making more, thank you so much!

[@ThePaschalParlor]

That’s so exciting!

[@DanceintheRaine666]

Good for you❤

[@jojocaitlin8508]

I sculpt on the tops of yankee candles! I also use a glass cutting board as my general work surface.

[@Emmetleisure]

i hope you get a great commission on your links!! i really really appreciate you advocating safety when working with resin when so few keep things safe with it. and with me wanting to finally get into polymer clay you made it really easy to find what i needed, while keeping myself safe with the appropriate gear!

[@beatrizqueirozdecarvalho4086]

Just want to say, as someone who's been discouraged from art a lot lately by their family... hearing you mention in the Craftsy site section of the video that art is good for your soul made me feel a lot more at peace about my love for art. Thank you

[@megmazcreates]

Craft Smart clay is my go to brand! I just wish that they offered effect options like glittery and pearl colors 🙃

[@MisFitandMayhem]

Thank you for always sharing! I have been reorganizing my craft area and already have the teal bin and DID NOT know there was a TRAY!! Storage is so pricey, storage goes up to 40 or 60% off when it finally goes on sale.

[@DanceintheRaine666]

I always (or almost without exception) buy supplies on SALE. Patience is REWARDED when it comes to supplies/food/purchases...you wait and pay up to 80% off the non sale price.

[@annachoi1590]

Just popping here to say I definitely bought that storage bin (or at least something almost exactly the same) WITH the tray included at Joann's only a couple months ago!

[@RosarioEguiazabal]

completely off topic, you are SO PRETTY! you look like the main character from a beautiful book 😭

[@noors_artsy_hangout_2-23-22]

i'm watching this after like 3 months, and you're so real for saying you wanted to learn how to crochet! i feel like every clay artist just dreams to crochet, i do too!

[@silvanaamirandaa]

I am LITERALLY obsessed with your content. I am currently unemployed and seeying your content brings me so much comfort and inspires me 🥹 thank you

[@YokoshimaSTAR]

You're my no. Go to 1 artist to making clay. Thank you so much. Regarding moulding cutters, I was thinking we can try to make our own using airdry clay. I want to try this today.

[@mia2art]

Love seeing what's in your clay kit! 🖌✨ Your portable setup is so well-organized and inspiring. The tips and tricks you shared are super helpful, especially for anyone looking to improve their polymer clay skills. Thanks for the great overview and all the useful advice! 🏆🎨

[@steamedvegetables]

I don't do clay art much anymore, but I highly recommend the block of solid sculpey softener. I remember preferring it to the liquid one.

[@RHrrrrrrhhhhhh]

This is a great set up and looks super cute. Always the best info and fantastic shares to contribute to the arty anything community. Thanks for all the links 🔗 Love to see your business growing and how enthusiastic and excited you are about future Tammy. Disposable paint palette might be a nice alternative surface for you to use also. It stays clean and lint free and can easy be cleaned down even with acrylic paint. It light weight so good for a kit and if you really mess up a page you can remove that page and start fresh. It’s also sealed down on multiple edges so transporting and wear don’t impact the surface. 🐨💞🌸

[@simonchenstories]

Tammy. I LOVEEE the process videos!! I love seeing how people use tools ❤

[@LoveOfArt87]

Love this!! I too am I clay artist been doing for 4-5 yrs and I agree with everything you said! Love you work.

[@nicoleevalerio]

I just wanted to share that I’m really happy I found your channel. You’ve really inspired me to become confident with making my charms and begin to sell them. Soon I hope to make videos as well. I enjoy your content, wishing you all the best! 🫶🏽

[@feyzaakbas3428]

I just searched up your Etsy shop your charms are amazing (especially the cow one🤩) I would like to know which kind of glaze/ resin you use for the charms

[@nicoleevalerio]

@@feyzaakbas3428 ahww thank you! I’m still working on adding things to my shop but I’m definitely proud of it! I use a mix of the two! I use one layer of Sculpey Gloss Glaze to “prep” my surface and then finish it off with resin once the gloss is done drying. It’s worked for me so far 🙌🏽

[@nicoleevalerio]

@@feyzaakbas3428 I got the resin off of Amazon, it’s a Crystal Clear Hard UV Resin

[@feyzaakbas3428]

@@nicoleevalerio Thank you so much for your fast reply 🤗

[@feyzaakbas3428]

@@nicoleevalerio I will definitely keep an eye on your shop 👀

[@joyous1-311]

This is so helpful because I'm trying to start my small business, so I really appreciate this video! tysm for making this

[@MooseTart]

Thanks so much for making this video and love your taste in music!

[@clayclutz]

I'm so inspired to clean out my clay boxes now :) Your art is so cute!

[@ALintBunny]

I came back to say that JOANN has those containers and they are sold with the tray. I swear them yesterday and immediately thought of you. They are both spacious. They're currently on sale

[@emohotdog]

Thank you! Was it the orange one you found??

[@ALintBunny]

@@emohotdog I found a light blue one in-store. I asked to see if they had more in stock, but were out, but they said I could get them online. 19.99 reduce down to 9.99 the sale (Sep. 16) They had blue, green, pink and Orange.

[@tombraiderlara1996]

I have that exact same box! I used it for years to take my sticker Etsy shop with me when I travelled. Recently I upgraded my shipping station and don't need the box for that anymore, but I dooo need a new box for my clay... I bought mine at Hobby Lobby, for those who want it, they still sell it with the tray and bin together!

[@leishavermaa5645]

Your vidoes are my comfort zone😊 i ❤ your vidioes . It inspierd me to make my own clay and bracelete shop.❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊

[@sheetalpatel9907]

the macabun in the back

[@anau-n9q]

Hi tammy how do you keep your polymer clay super clean with no fingerprints?😊❤

[@dorili_art]

I tried making my first clay keychain the other day, it was supposed to be a bear's head but it turned out very potato-like lol… guess you have to be bad before you get good! this was a very hlepful video though, especially for a beginner like me💗✨

[@abigailroyland3683]

I totally took advantage of that Craftsy deal, thank you so much! I’m a crocheter and I dabble in things like embroidery and sculpting, so hopefully this will really help me in my creative journey 🥰

[@GhanimehDesigns]

Set yourself a reminder to cancel it in a year, if you don’t cancel it BEFORE the payment is due you won’t get a refund.

[@Md.TareqAzizRishat]

Hey can you please tell me that filter app you use to take pictures of your adorable handmade products 💖

[@tammydinh]

UV Resin 💗

[@Lil-Ginger]

Hi I’m a new follower and I was wondering if you use air dry clay if so what’s something you like and don’t like about it and if you haven’t used air dry clay why didn’t you?

[@abdulraheem068]

Can you please make a detail tutorial of every character you make? I really want to make them especially the bunnies.

[@Cutegirl-u4z8x]

tammy i love you so much you were always been my inspiration, i am about to open my small buisness soon and that's cause of your beautiful journey that always pushes me and motivates me!! thank you so much

[@misfitkit]

Do you have a recommendation on how to get the clay cleanly out of cookie cutters? I have a few that I love but they are really difficult to get out with a clean line, like the scallop ones for example. I end up having to resculpt the whole edge :(:(:(

[@cptnlexi]

haha Christi is my mom! I'll let her know you recommended her video :D

[@sistersgames2649]

What oven do you use??

[@acherry3608]

You continue to inspire me, love you Tammy ❤

[@ashs0608]

I’ve been waiting for this!!! I’m in high school and I’m hoping to start a small business soon. This makes me feel much more comfortable and excited about starting. I support you fully and am excited to see what comes next for you. Best wishes :)

[@plumpomo]

if you ever need guidance on crochet i'm just saying... i might be able to help uwu, love your videos like always hehe ❤❤

[@SymphonyWhite-d7r]

Is the liquid clay supposed to be hard because mine is like oobleck and I do have the same brand

[@keitaokane7039]

Hi can I ask what you use to glaze your keycharms?? I've been making polymer charms but haven't seen a good brand to use that last longer.. I used mostly like resin and like a glue but it turns sticky even though I already cured under the sun for like 3 days

[@_rayafterhours]

She is back!❤🫶honestly your vlogs are so claming espically your voice. Its so soothing

[@paulinehaas9726]

Love ❤❤❤

[@greyzlean]

hi im just wondering if you went to art school or took formal classes? or are you completely selftaught when it comes to your designs?

[@lemoncherrypen]

I like your videos, they're calming and have great advice :) You mentioned wanting to learn to crochet, I thought it was super intimidating at first but I got comfortable with it after a year of crocheting with a group of others who could give me pointers and inspo. If you do decide to take that up, good luck!

[@senorita9449]

Do u bake ur clay works??

[@_mishal.a]

question: if polymer clay has plasticizers, then how can it be packaged in thin plastic packaging without the packaging melting? Just curious . . .

[@tammydinh]

that’s also a specific type of plastic meant to hold polymer clay :)!

[@r.m.2422]

Thank you so much! I was looking to get started with polymer clay!

[@That1Person29]

Hinest as someone who doesn’t have a space for a studio, a “studio in a basket” it one of my favorite methods! I love that you could sculpt on the go, I find it so inspiring that you had your carrier studio with you, I love this!

You can still use it for practice or certain projects. ☺️

same i was really gaslighting myself trying to believe it would be different for me but it’s not 😭😂 it’s easier to sculpt with imo bc it’s soft but a lot of my pieces have broken especially the keychains 😭 i learned my lesson
