how i make clay pins ☆

Описание: ★ IMPORTANT EDIT: RESIN IS SUPER TOXIC! I was a big dummy in this video and did not use proper protection when handling the UV resin. Wear gloves and a respirator, and make sure you're working in a well-ventilated area!! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!! PLEASE!! ★

a little vlog-style tutorial of how i make my clay pins/magnets/friends! i hope this helps you out and inspires you to make more stuff — i always forget how much fun traditional tactile mediums are, and it's such a joy to get back into 'em~

lemme know if you've got any questions in the comments, and i'll do my best to answer them! ★

✧˖° supplies
• polymer clay — i use sculpey!
• a small rolling pin — i use a small highlighter
• an x-acto knife or boxcutter
• holbein acryla gouache
• assorted paintbrushes
• hard clear uv resin — here's a few different ones: https://amzn.to/2OwtWmR, https://bit.ly/2Qze59z, https://amzn.to/35jjUMt,
• uv lamp — this is the one i bought! https://amzn.to/2rTcTn5 i wish i had bought a slightly bigger one so it was easier to move the clay pieces in and out, but it does the job
• epoxy glue (e6000 to be exact) to affix your magnets and pins to the back of your friends! you wanna let the glue sit for a day before using the pin or magnet — that way you know the bond is super strong and secure. i got my pin backs and magnets from michael's!
