This tutorial was originally published in many parts. Consolidating the parts into one tutorial will make it much simpler to follow the class. Once you know how to make the basic info, you'll be able to embellish as you wish!

The antique items from Japan have been stylishly transformed with polymer clay! They are wonderful works of art😊

My little brain is going at 100 miles per hour contemplating the permutations of this technique! And what an elegant way of fastening the rubber together! You are a genius! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

I’ve never seen anything as cool as this made with polymer clay. I don’t see anyone with long salon nails being able to smooth the top out from the inside like that. I do to much with my hands and would rather not have the nails in my way. Not knocking beautiful nails at all here. ❤ I love how the colors of this box come out. Love it. That cord closure was brilliant, also a very smart way of doing that.

Thank you so much. This is quite a simple way to make a tidy box! I play guitar so my left hand nails are shorter than my right. Oh, well, gotta do what we gotta do, right? Lol. ❤️😊

As usual Donna, this is wonderful. I don't know if it's just my computer or the browser (Chrome), but there are so many times that you are talking about something but I can see it because it's off-screen. If it's just me, I'll troubleshoot. Thank you so much for graciously sharing your expertise with us!

I have always loved the Inro boxes since I saw them in your book - when was it? - so long ago when I came back from Germany with a box of FIMO!!! Seeing you "in action" is SO much better - and funner! Thanks again for a wonderful lesson!

Recently found your channel, and love it. I'm relatively new at polymer clay, and am enjoying finding out all the items one can make with it. These boxes are beautiful and I can't wait to make one. Question, is parchment paper ok instead of deli paper? They seem similar.

Yep, you can use parchment paper!❤️

@DonnaKatoArt 11 ай бұрын

You know, there are. I have a manicure set that is ellipse shaped and straight sided. The form must have one end that is straight and does not flare out so you can remove the clay. I think simple shapes are best. Round can be more difficult to make patterns match as the two pieces might move. Make sense?😊❤️

@jilllloyd-jones624 28 күн бұрын

Brilliant, tute as always, but where can I get the metal Atiko tall ellipse forms? No,luck with manicure sets despite much searching?

Hi Jill! The manufacturer is Ateco. I looked at Amazon and you can only get the ellipse in a set. Boo. I'd google, Ateco Ellipse Petit Four Cutters and see!

Donna, I love your videos! I had a question for you. I am wanting to use the translucent clay (Kato of course! :) ) but when I bake it it turns yellow. I don't think that's what it's supposed to do is it? What am I doing wrong?

@DonnaKatoArt 11 ай бұрын

David, you are doing nothing wrong. We are in the process of correcting that. It yellows. Now, my pal Bettina corrects some by adding violet to translucent and that counteracts the yellowing quite a bit! 😊❤️

Hi Donna, apologies for asking so many questions, as im sure you have a lot to respond to...The top,of the black box behind tge orange/ blue one has a glossy top and im wondering if you used the old Pym 2, which has now been replaced i believe by the U pol #1 clear. Yes or no works for me...less time. Jill x
