Using foils with polymer clay. An easy jewellery tutorial.

[@mickyspicer83]

Thank you so much for leaving in the bloopers it made me smile out of the blue watched from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦

[@kathyjones274]

The black is amazing so beautiful.

Found your channel about 30 mins ago & already know I’m gonna love following you, thank you for not editing anything out, absolutely love the real true rawness &gave me a giggle bcos it’s exactly what would happen to me, I wish you lots of success with your channel & look forward to seeing more 🥰💜

[@happyhands-uk]

Welcome aboard!

[@jtruearmywife]

Omg you are so funny 😂 I think we can be friends definitely! I love all the commentary and the no editing. You made my day. I just found your channel and so glad I did. Stay yourself 🥰

[@spiritofkayata]

Thanks for the great Video. You could try the foils on baked clay (using the glue for transfer), that way you won‘t lose the holographic effect.

[@candigates3291]

The blk and gold piece looks like a butterfly wing. Just lovely what a awesome idea. Thank u 4 sharing .

[@aprilwelsh6608]

These colors are real cool the fan one love this one.

[@sarahrowe7287]

I love using nail foils on clay like this! Thank you for my daily chuckle, it's awesome when we can laugh things off 💜💜

[@Perivale]

I was just thinking about this as i have tons of this foil from my nail days. Thanks for sharing.

[@SonyasCraftStudio]

I just found your channel and I absolutely love how you keep it real. I can't wait to watch more polymer clay from you 💖

[@happyhands-uk]

Thank you and welcome! 😁🥰

[@ginalombardi2507]

Two years later I am enjoying your video and saving it to my email. Thank you. Sort of glad the one foil did not work, so I will not freak out when it happens to me, and it will.

[@carmenvelez3657]

The black one is so beautiful

[@SuperRocketdog1]

Well it was a laugh! Poor you..glad you showed the mishaps! The gold looks lovely looks like antique gold. Well done girl!🥰🥰💕🐶🐶👍🇬🇧

[@happyhands-uk]

Hahaha thank you 😁

[@MissChelle]

So pretty 😊. Try not to touch the back of the foil or the clay. Oils can stop it from sticking 🇦🇺❤️

[@karenthomas2302]

I laughed so hard when you said I don’t know wether to keep that in or not, I was laughing and saying well it in it. Kind of reminds me of Gail (Jones) I think there in the UK that does polymer she has a special segment of her bloopers. She keeps it real and gives ya a chuckle. And we need the laughs these days anymore. Tfs this was beautiful even if it did go a little drab after baking. Hugs

[@brandyboston9363]

"Their sisters not twins." 😂 Loves it all. Gotta get me some of those foils for sure. Thanks for sharing.🎉

[@clare9637]

Using the stencil is a fabulous idea, I've had the same frustration with some foils taking to the clay and some not. Thank you. I wonder if you resin a piece before you bake it, the colour would be more like the original foil...

[@lisahaapaoja3838]

Thank you so much for being “real”!!! This has happened to me (the different colors not working) and I thought I was losing my mind!!!!!! I hope you’ll give us a redo if you figure out what the secret is to getting the different colors to work!!

[@happyhands-uk]

Hi Lisa, I've now uploaded a part 2 to this video. 💗😀

[@shritisingh710]

This method is nice i have used uv resin till now but it can be done without anything also nice to learn this ...thank u

[@shritisingh710]

I have infection on my hand due to uv resin thanks u have given me this method

[@ruthtrefethen4171]

Just found your channel and am so glad I did! Beautiful work and now, if I can find the stencils and foils, I am definately going to try this next. Thanks so much sharing these lovely creations and I'll be looking at more of yours now! This made my evening. 💙💜💛😊

[@happyhands-uk]

And you've just made mine! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this. Go check out part 2 where I have a giveaway for 5 sets of these foils. I love them so much that I wanted to share! 😁💗 I'll be doing a live draw this Sunday at 8pm uk time 😁

[@ruthtrefethen4171]

@@happyhands-uk I'll be watching as long as I know what time it is here in Ohio. Thank you!🌟

@@ruthtrefethen4171 I think Ohio is 4 hours behind so 4pm for you 😁

[@KathrynHalstead]

Fabulous pieces ❤️ and a good chuckle 🤣😂😂.

[@happyhands-uk]

Hehe! Thanks Kathryn 😉😘

[@jacquerivera2761]

Thank you for the great idea. My wheels are turning and I can't wait to try something!❤ Enjoy your videos and your work.

[@happyhands-uk]

Thank you Jacque, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. Thank you so much for watching! 😁😍

[@summerbaby1384]

I wonder if you put a clear or translucent layer of liquid clay over the foil if that might help it retain the actual color?

[@pattiunderwood7026]

BEAUTIFUL EFFECT

[@Deborah-ut3ud]

Is the pink foil thicker than the others? Are there more inclusions that are making it slightly stronger which might be the reason it did not work? It appears less flexible from what I can see. Great technique though. Thank you.

[@lyndamchugh249]

How about using a small craft stick to burnish the squares?

[@realgirl2704]

Could you use air dry clay to preserve the holographic effect? That fan shape piece is soooo gorgeous.

[@patschwab4083]

Sarah, All the pieces look lovely.

[@happyhands-uk]

Thank you Pat ❤

[@lifeisgood7740]

You make the resin part look so easy. Mine always drips down the side! How do I prevent that? Use less? Thank you! I like the gold.

[@happyhands-uk]

Yes, I always start with less than I need, use that to spread over the piece and then if needed you can pop a drop or 2 more on and it will spread itself out. 😀💗

[@blessthisemptynest]

Haha that’s so weird that the pink holo didn’t work. Would you be able to do the foil after baking then resin on top?

[@lanakeskisaari8409]

I am/was a nail tech and sometimes ran into this problem and often the foil has a coating which can be gently wiped with acetone ( I think, if not isopropyl alcohol it's been a couple of years) then the foil would come away on your project...hope this helps xxx Love your real, raw video, xxx p.s. Treys Clay on youtube has done the foil too but the foil didn't dull when she baked it, perhaps you could compare notes with her as to what may have caused it xxx

[@kathyjones274]

Touching the clay with foil after Touching the clay will dull it.i have to wash or wipe my hands with a baby wipe.

[@rgbuns4ever]

I have had foils not work before too. I don't get why some do and some don't. It's not just with clay, I use them on my nails too and the same thing happens. I am like you though and try the same foil 10 times, like I think it's gonna work on the 8th or 9th try when it hasn't worked on all the previous attempts, lol. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@donnar9864]

Hi.. new subscriber here, I love how they all came out, just gorgeous! also it was fun seeing your reaction to that one foil not sticking at all.. can't wait to see more from you 😀

[@aprilwelsh6608]

This are cool also.

[@darlaboyle1074]

They are still pretty. But yeah, they kinda lost that sparkle. I wonder if you resined before baking, if that would've worked.

[@Wendy-WackyWomanCreations]

They still turned out pretty even though they lost some of the magic. Yes, got a giggle, thanks for leaving it in.

[@happyhands-uk]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good, im glad you saw the funny! hahaha!

[@allisonchavez9113]

Apply foil after backing to retain the rainbow in the foil. Odd that the pink holographic wouldn't work. I was thinking when you moved onto the black clay, try again lol. Did your ever get it to work? What does shaking the resin do? I really enjoyed your enthusiasm

[@happyhands-uk]

Ahh yes, that's what I did, I've uploaded a part 2 video that shows the results 😁

[@bonniewyke1750]

I apply the foils after baking using Zig 2-way glue, then I add the resin. It retains all the holographic qualities that way.

[@silverguardiancreations2014]

Where did you find the stencils

[@happyhands-uk]

I got them from The Range :D

[@michaelpinreno]

Very cool. Somewhat like a stained glass window. With that beautiful pink, why not try it with a heat gun for a very short time. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it supposed to be a heat transfer foil?

[@happyhands-uk]

Not this one no, its removed by rubbing the foils onto a sticky surface. It's usually used for card making or scrap booking. I'm glad you liked the effect I managed to achieve I'm the end 🙂

[@jennyspeering9001]

Love that

[@jodinicholas890]

Maybe try the glue or Versamark to make the pink work? The falling item scared me. I thought you were falling. I know some foils work but not others. Sizzix has a new range of metallic foils that work with just a thin layer of glue.

[@happyhands-uk]

Ooo sorry, I didn't mean to scare you! 🤣🤣 The spring arm that screws to my table to hold my phone broke. I now have a new one. I have since tried using the glue on pre baked pieces and it kind of worked on the pink but only in bits. I've done a follow up video which I'll publish in the next day or 2. Thanks for the suggestions 😀 and I promise, no more surprises!🤣🤣🤣

[@lyndamchugh249]

You 😅have given us a lesson on trying things before we record. 😊

[@lauracutler-sweetpeagifts5676]

The pink looks like heat transfer foil. So it won't stick like the deco foils

[@CarolineHowlett-gr8pf]

Not your fault. Needs heat from friction. Even then some just refuse to work. Those ones can be used on cooked clay with mono glue.

[@cynthiahighfield3063]

Try baking a piece of clay and then put some glue on it and then the foil. If it works, then add the resin.

[@lottarackzzz1910]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kathyjones274]

Wiping hands with a baby wipe or clean with alcohol before you touch clay with foil. Might keep them from dulling or just put resin like I do. Lol

[@carolleggett2072]

I have had the problems with some foils

[@hollylowery26]

You can buy 2 different types of foil, some need heat to stick and transfer, others transfer very easily without heat. I think this must be whats happening.

[@happyhands-uk]

The pack came with the glue and all the other rolls worked perfectly. I think it was just a fault with that particular roll. 😁👍

[@Sharperthanu1]

Congratulations on being smart enough to work with laser foil (HOLOGRAPHIC foil)

[@thisisfab61]

Maybe cook the clay first then do the foil and resin

[@Sharperthanu1]

I PAINT on the stuff

[@happyhands-uk]

There are so many possibilities!😁

[@joyceparkes2678]

Shame about the holographic effect but they came out pretty nevertheless 🙏🏽

[@allisonchavez9113]

Baking...not backing...oops
