Guest tinhieu Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Charms, Jewelry, Projects, Creations and everything~~Hey. I just made my first polymer clay charm today. An onigiri.... because it is super easy. hehe. For those who don't know what polymer clay is, a brief introduction: Polymer clay is a type of sculpting clay that used by many hobbyist, crafters and artists. They come in different colours (just like play-doh) They don't actually dry out in air like regular clay do. This is a really good advantage. And you oven bake them (not high temperatures like kilns) to harden them permanently. Here are some better examples. These people are too pro. lol Bubble Tea Charm Cute Cube Fruit Charms SNSD and SHINee Polymer Chibis A Huge Creation of Charms Starbucks Coffee Charm B1A4 Charm Necklace Feel free to post up your creations!

Guest nobody knows Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I don't play with polymer clay a lot cos I seem to always burn it ... but I use it for prototypes so I know what'll work in 3D before I make it in metal and stuff ;__; and it's cheap ahha I posted these in the show me your creations thread, but ;~; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yinan Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 cuuute! I really want to get into this stuff too... looks like a lot of fun... do you guys recommend a certain brand of polymer clay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nobody knows Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 ^i use sculpey mostly because it's what my high school has and although I graduated last year sometimes I go back and my teachers will just thrust supplies at me what's the other brand .. FIMO? fimo is more expensive it's easier to work around (softer), but I find it really sticks to my fingers a lot when it bakes, it's also more prone to breaking sculpey will take a lot of kneading to get it to an okay softness it doesn't stick to my hands, and it's pretty strong after baking sometimes I use a small piece of white fimo and mix it with sculpey so there's a decent softness at a quicker pace other brands I've never tried >: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunniRise Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I buy Sculpey from Joanns because I found them to be around 50 cents during a big sale. They can get really cheap, you just have to look at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest breathless. Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Iko. You're so talented! I use a lot of PREMO clay because I like the color selection. It's definitely more pricey though :/ The only thing I've really made so far are beads, because I'm seriously bad at making anything else. I hate having to condition the clay... I'm THIS close to buying an independent pasta machine because it hurts my hands. Actually, I dug up this oldddd photograph. A couple years ago I made this pair of earrings, eek. These took like three hours to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booger Face Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I was wondering what are the differences between the ones labeled "Soft" and "Classic" of the Fimo brand? They're currently 50% off at Joann's in my area and I wanted to start making stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're currently 50% off at Joann's in my area and I wanted to start making stuff. Probably way too late to reply, but anyways....... "Soft" clays tend to be softer, obviously, so you don't need to spend as much time "warming up" your clay before using them. However, softer clays are more brittle when after they are baked. I personally find that softer clays tend to be too sticky for me. (Specifically Sculpy brands, they are really soft) And the colour always gets all over my hands. So before I touch a different piece of coloured clay, I have to wash my hands.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xlila Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Question....can you use any brand of acrylic paint to color polymer clay? Correct me if it isn't acrylic paint. It might be a silly question, but I just wanted to make sure first because I see some on sale at Michael's TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
