I thought this would be a nice extension to the texture frame I did a while ago. This technique can literally go on anything!
Enjoy!

Baking Polymer Clay:
UK instructions for baking- it's all in Celsius not Fahrenheit, which is why I don't always quote times & temperatures. I recommend using Polymer Clay packet instructions. However a good tip is to bake no higher than 100 degrees Celsius. It's better to bake at a lower temperature for longer, than higher for shorter.
Larger clay items need longer- always check after 10 mins- sometimes things fall over in the oven & can be rescued at this point. Watch for burning! Especially white as it's quick to burn (don't know why...) and can turn yellow!
Once out of the oven wait for it to cool before thinking it's baked- if it feels soft to touch, you can poke a finger nail in it or a finger print, back in the oven it goes!
Electric ovens work better as the temperature is even, gas oven temperatures fluctuate do not keep a steady temp for baking polymer clay.

I do as well, they're easy & small & you can do it while watching a show or something! You're welcome, Leslie! 😊

Number 1 most definitely, gorgeous, your art room is looking pretty cool Gail

Ahh, thanks! I'm running out of room, though! I have a shelf behind me crammed full of things & I need to organise it! My favourite is number 1 too, which typically took me the longest! 😁

Awesome as always ❤ I love all of them but if I had to choose I would say my favorite is number one.

Hi Gail, I am currently trying to use up things in jars in my fridge so I can use the lids and give this a try! I love big fridge magnets, and I’ve made a couple myself that are pretty large. I love all of the ones you made but as I tend to go towards blues and purples, have to say that’s my favourite one too. I hope you are well and that your pooches are too. Take care. Thanks for the video.

Hi Ellie, this is quite good fun! It's almost like you don't have to think about it, so nice and easy too! It's funny, I always save particular jars- candle jars, peanut butter, Nutella! - (although Nutella has a plastic left often) these jars in the UK make the perfect tools pots 😁 we are all well thanks & the military style walking/training sessions are working! They don't mess with me now haha. My brother Chris, who passed, used to call Link his pooch - so lovely to hear that again 🥰

Hi Kara! Thanks for watching! Although my favourite is the first one, I'm so glad I made the others, they look so different! Clashing colours is fun. My favourite clash is orange/pink/purple. I made some coasters with that shading. Looks lovely! 😁

squashed balls 🤣🤣🤣, your so funny, I like the first one best, my sort of colours, but the other ones are also very pretty

@GailJonesPolymerClay 3 ай бұрын

Haha - yep, no one wants them 😆 my favourite too, but I have to try other things so I've got a reference point & other things might appeal to others 😄
