Where I get my supplies & tools:
ImpressArt Number Stamps - www.spotlightstores.com/craft...
Sculpey Premo Clay & Tools, shaping tool & oven thermometer - 2wardspolymerclay.com.au/
Atlas 150 Pasta Machine/Roller - any homewares type shop should have pasta machines. There are a few brands specifically made for polymer clay as well.
Ceramic Tiles - try a hardware shop, you can buy a pack for quite cheap. Or try contacting a tiler, to see if they have a few spare tiles they are no longer needing.

For thickness consistency with polymer clay if you only have the rolling pin, use the same number of playing cards (2 stacks) on either side and place the clay in the middle. Keep each end of the rolling pin on one of the stacks of cards and it keeps the rolling pin from leaving ridges or making thin spots on the edges! Does that explanation makes sense 🤪? I hope so 😬 (just a quick addition to this AWESOME tutorial)

I’m wondering if there is a video for finishing yet? Like sanding and top coat? Because these are just a great way to do them. Not too bulky or thin. Perfect.

Fantastic video. Is there a punch set with a period, or do I just use a pin to make the hole for the 5.5 mm hooks etc?

Great tutorial! Do we need to put the masking tape or can we skip that step?

Thank you!! Where do you get the hooks!?

Thanks Karla!! Ugh, knew I would forget things! I will update the caption, thank you! I buy the Boye hooks from Spotlight as well, I wait for them to come on special, or use a coupon. They are quite affordable. You may be able to find a wholesaler for Aluminium hooks, but I have found Boye to be the best in the oven. The Clover Hooks I buy wholesale from Birch Creative, you need an ABN & buy in bulk, great way if you are planning on making/selling a lot. Hope the tutorial helps! xx

Nat, you're such a natural at teaching. I need to get a few tools and try to replicate my favorite hooks you have made for me.

Is liquid polymer clay an important step in hook making??

@laylaswolf 3 жыл бұрын

No, you don’t have to use the liquid clay. I just find it helps bond the metal of the hook to the normal polymer clay. But it’s not essential
