Tutorial: Polymer Clay Pendant for Beginners

[@katrinameyer5641]

This is so helpful, thank you! I’ve wanted to make stuff like this, but I know polymer clay is so fragile for pendants, and this answered my questions.

[@OrganicSilverMoonDesignsLLG]

I know this is one of your older videosAnd you say it's for beginners but I think it's intermediate to advancedI, t's one of my favorites of yours, It's a great way to make a bail With out havingTo spend a fortune And tray out of polymer clay they actually look like real metals,Thank you for sharing this Von.

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

Every time you say "bake & bond," I keep thinking you're saying "Bacon Von." Hahahahah!

[@lanaavrutova5041]

See you make me feel like I can do this! I gave up on this after many failed attempts but you just make it so clear! thank you!

[@tedcullen5817]

Love your tutorial, just the lighting is not the best. I’m a super beginner and this is a great starter video!😍

[@noemicarrion6883]

I love this video especially because I am a beginner. It's 1:30 am lol and I can't stop watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

Awesome video..........I loved the designs

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you, Rebecca!

[@crystalheart9]

Beautiful technique! Now I want to do this too:D

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, thanks Crystal! I'd love to see how it comes out :)

[@crystalheart9]

Will do!

[@RabbitOverlord]

I have got to try this! It looks like so much fun! Also just curious, do you sell these? I think it would be really cool if you did.

[@ingridwilkins3886]

thanks for the video can most gemstones bake in the oven

[@LeslieNikulka]

HI Yvonne. Love this video and your creative ideas! Will you be doing more polymer clay tutorials? I hope so. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@backtoearthcreations]

+leslie nikulka Hey Leslie! I will be, though I can't guarantee when :P I am glad you enjoyed this one! Do you have any requests for future videos?

[@lynnperez1363]

I think if you mount your camera to shoot your hands and work, from the side ( end of table), instead of over the top of your head, you would have better results. Still love your videos! 💕

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thats a really great idea, Lynn, Thank you!

[@jootb]

WOW Have you come a Long Way....

[@kerrydeamicis3376]

I have a question the spray do you do it before you bake or after and do you have cover the stone when you spray?

[@terrieberly8109]

Was this question ever answered? I was wondering the same thing.

[@raven.art1717]

Hello! What size seeder?

[@sassytaz73]

YAH I found it, ok but I have a question if you do not have the bake and bond but I do have Mod podge gloss and it does not say not to bake or that it is bakeable neither, kinda reluctant on baking it. Now I also have jewel-it embellishing glue and that as well does not say bakeable or non bakeable so reluctant on using that as well. Do you think I could do the polymer clay pendent bake it then glue on the cabochons?

[@Miastrong930]

Hi Ivonne, I ran into a product while watching a polymer clay tutorial. The woman doing the tutorial uses it to give a glossy finish to polymer clay. She is not able to polish her play with sandpaper for health reasons. The name of the product is Pro-tec powder paint. I will try to get the link for the tutorial for you. So far I have not figured out how to do it. She buys the powdered paint from fishing supply place called Jig Junky.

[@klodybolduc]

the "twirl" and decos stay in place even without doing anything to merge them to the base?

[@backtoearthcreations]

They have stayed in really well so far; if you are concerned about it on your own pieces, I would recommend a dab of liquid clay to help bind it all without having to smoosh the design :)

[@klodybolduc]

Thank you :)

[@deeconlon1886]

Your technique looks great! I don't mean to be critical, but next video, please turn off your auto-focus. It was very hard to watch, as every time you moved your hands the video blurred. Also, I know you were working in a preferred color, but for video, a lighter background with dark clay (you worked on your dark surface) or a light clay on a dark surface will make it easier to see what you are demonstrating. I hope my suggestions will help you make a better video product! Thanks for the great ideas and tips on making my own bezels.

[@eveninglakegems9410]

Lol. The captions call the bake and bond, bacon bond.

[@Miastrong930]

Sorry don't know how to get the link. I tried but the usual method doesn't seem to work. Her name is Deanna Holub. Hope you find it interesting. She did mention a caution about plastic bags. I was not clear about what she meant. The paint is used by fishermen to create fishing jigs. I don't know anything about the paint including if it is okay to use it on something that you wear against you skin.

[@eveninglakegems9410]

PYM is discontinued. You cant get it anymore. Any other spray on sealer will make, and keep your clay sticky.

[@elizabethmiller3407]

I like this video but the focus constantly changing is really confusing and distracting. do you have the camera on auto focus?

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Elizabeth! I hated the webcam I was limited to using at the time, but fortunately I have a good camera on my phone and am able to use that. I think the webcam had an automatic autofocus. I'm not particularly tech savvy :p thanks for watching! :)

[@HiddenThicket]

Grr. I know all about the air pockets ruining my 3 hours of sculpting.

[@backtoearthcreations]

+Hidden Thicket The struggle is real! I have never had a piece balloon up as much as yours did, though. What was the fate of that piece? Were you able to salvage it?

[@HiddenThicket]

Yvonne Williams It's been a challenge, but I have resisted the urge to crack it open to see what's inside. If I don't use it for the costume, I'll paint it up and hang it from my read view mirror or something. Who wouldn't want a griever charm for long trips, eh? Even if it is a little bit fat. I'll rub it for luck like a Buddha!

[@backtoearthcreations]

teehee, I love it!
