Making Clay Pins (Avoid my mistakes!) and Painting Postcards / 클레이 핀뱃지 만들기
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Hello friends! I experimented with making clay pins! Despite watching other videos beforehand, I made some mistakes during the process (especially during glazing). I hope this video will help you avoid my mistakes! I also show you a preview of one of my projects for the new year: painting on the backs of postcards to record memories from my travels. Hope you'll stick around to see those develop!
오늘은 클레이 핀뱃지를 만들어봤습니다! 마지막 마감하는 과정에서 과슈가 많이 번져서 아쉬웠지만, 다음에 더 잘 할 수 있을 것 같아요! 그리고 영상 끝에는 올해부터 시작하고 싶은 프로젝트 -- 엽서 뒷면에 그림 그리기도 보여드려요! 앞으로 기대해 주세요! 혹시 궁금한 점이 있으시면 답글로 남겨주세요! 시청해주셔서 감사합니다!

I had this happen the other day and I mixed gouache with the glaze. I essentially made coloured glaze and painted my pins effortlessly. Once it dried I applied another coat of clear gloss and it didn't streak!
Oh my goodness what a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing! I've got some clay bobbles all dried and ready to paint--will definitely be trying your technique! Thank you again for this great tip! :D
Wow, Jo Laz, this really worked! You saved me a trip to the art supply store, thank you!
Thanks for showing us an “imperfect” video. A lot of content creators focus solely on showing a perfect product which can be visually pleasing but unhelpful to those looking to learn the trade themselves. Your mistakes help save others a lot of time and resources. We really appreciate it :)
What a lovely comment, thank you so much! I almost didn't post this video since I messed up the clay pins but am so glad I did. All I did was document and share my learning process, but I learned so much from people sharing their own tips and advice in the comments. Was very grateful. Appreciate your lovely comment, too! Thanks again!
whoa i was looking for this EXACT video.. i wanted to make pins and keychains, and i saw clay pins somewhere and wondered how to make em. but idk i still want to try epoxy to make keychains.
Wow I hope this was helpful! As I said in my video, my biggest lesson learned was to apply the glaze with a flat brush and as little strokes as possible! I haven't tried epoxy myself but I wish you luck! Happy crafting!
@@AWonderfulSheep i see. thank you so much. i will keep this on my tab, so i can check it. i will let you know. if i do it. if i dont reply, i probably ended up going with different material... and hopefully didnt get lazy and not do it. :D
Did u try epoxy then? Please answer how it went out or if u switched to another product!!
@@itriedfollowingatutorial828 how did you do?
Use a varnish or gloss that is NOT water based in order to prevent smearing the paint. Since you are using water-based paint, using water-based gloss means it will reactivate the paint layer and make it move/smear.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I've been wanting to try making more clay pins and this comment is so helpful. I will definitely remember to check whether my paints and varnishes are water-based or not. Thank you so much for commenting and letting me know. Hope you are safe and well!
i ADORE how these turned out 😍😍 how have i not checked out your channel before??? it’s absolutely amazing, instantly subbed. I was just thinking about experimenting with polymer clay to decorate all my mundane things, so this vid was perf!! also obsessed with your editing. Even though the paint smeared on a few i think it’s adds character and it very cute 😌
Ummm.... so your comment totally made my day... I can't even.😲 Coming from an editing queen! that means a lot. Polymer clay was super fun, I can't wait to see how your creations turn out!♡ Thanks so much for stopping by and I'm so glad this video was helpful!
If you want to paint with gouache/watercolour on clay, use natural (earth is best, but paper works too) air dry clay! It's pouris, so the paint soaks in and doesn't reactivate so easily. Best of luck haha!
Wow that is such a great tip! I can't wait to try it! Thank you so much. Hope you have a great day!
@@AWonderfulSheep you too! Glad I could give some advice ✨
1:25 "memento mori" lmao yess
:D
It's amazing to see so many views on your videos. You deserve it all💖
You're very sweet, thank you. This clay pins video was a nice consistent video for me in terms of views, grateful for it! :D
so cool!, i'm new to pin world. Watching your video helps so much
So glad to hear that! I definitely had some hiccups my first time making clay pins so I hope you can learn from my mistakes!♡
Thank you for this video
To be clear, I used gouache and it smudged when I varnished it. I believe the trick is to use a paint like Acryclic-Gouache that doesn't reactivate when you add a water-based varnish OR use a gouache-specific varnish. Thanks for watching and good luck!
@@AWonderfulSheep Yes thank you for the clarification! May invest in varnish specific for gouache. Cheers 💕🍀!
You can also pick up some uv resin! Cures with sunlight but you can use a gel nail uv machine to speed things up. Your doing a great job tho! And thanks your tips! 🤗
Thank you so much! I did see other videos using UV resin but I didn't know it could cure just in sunlight. (I thought you needed the UV machine!) I definitely want to try UV resin next. Thank you for letting me know and for your kind encouragement. Hope you have a safe and lovely day. :D
@@AWonderfulSheep Please stay safe using Resin, it's highly toxic and should only be used in a good ventilated room under proper safety precautions.
@@Oktarin420 Thank you for letting me know! I will be sure to read up on all the safety precautions before using it!
Girl your videos just keep getting better and better! So glad the gesso tip helped! To get less texture with gesso you can also water it down some and do a couple of thinner layers - most artist that gesso their own panels almost always water it down. I never do because I just don't have the patience for it - I'm like "let me get to painting!!!". LOVED the pins you did! That tomato was SOOOOOO CUTE! And what in the world - 14 countries?! Do you travel for your work or do you just like to travel - that's a LOT OF TRAVELING!
Thank you for the tip on gesso! I'll have to experiment with that as well! The pins were a fun experiment, I think next time I'll try other things, maybe ornaments! The travel is for work, which is why I wanted to start this next project--to sort of organize records of some of these cool places. Thank you for watching!♡
OMG, thank you. I was about to do all these mistakes haha. Thank you so much for this video. I subbed!
So glad to hear disaster was averted! Thanks for stopping by! Good luck with your pins♡
I just found your channel but I love the calm and good feeling it gives ✨
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much. Please stay safe and well, and have a great day. :D
I suddenly got the motivation to make some pins after watching your video so thanks for that ☺️ and they actually turned out kinda cute! I painted them using fabric paints since that's all I had, which are I think thinned out acrylic paints? I was wondering if I could use acrylic paint varnish on it?
So glad to hear they turned out cute! I personally not have tried acrylic paint varnish myself so I can't say for sure. If you've already painted the pins, my advice would be to paint a test patch on the back of a pin or on a sample clay piece and apply the varnish to see if it smudges or not! Good luck! I hope your pins turn out well.
I loved it♡
Thank you!
Looks interesting!
Thank you! I recently made a clay pat of BTS Butter too! 💛
I saw! On twitter right? Very cute😁
@@Kinhee_nim Oh did you see it on Twitter? Yes haha I tried a different glaze that worked better, but I made the mistake of shaking it, which caused bubbles eek.
Yes pretty yellow
I highly recommend using the arteza gouache! Much smoother and prettier colors :D
Thank you for the tip! :D
what happen if you don't glaze/cover with resin?
The varnish or resin protects the pin, so without it the color would probably scratch off pretty quickly. Especially with gouache, since it's water soluble, the paint would wash off if exposed to water.
Hi I loved this video ❤
Can you please tell that why my paint is looking so thick and bloby on my pins
I use air dry clay to make pins and acrylic paint to colour ??
Perhaps the acrylic paint is too thick? Maybe a different paint would work better for you!
Resin works really well with gouache too … I use UV resin and a lamp
Ooh thank you for the tip! I'd like to try resin at some point in the future!
@@AWonderfulSheep it looks a bit overwhelming and does take a bit of getting used to but you can get started for less that 50 bucks if you go with UV resin. I haven’t tried epoxy and eco resin looks super fun - just don’t have the space yet.
@@SisterFinch Good to know! Since I made this video I've enjoyed using Mod Podge Dimensional Magic for resin-like finishes. It's smoother than just sculpey glaze but less finicky than (what I assume) UV resin is like, but it seems to work best on flat surfaces. Thanks for the information!
hi! nice crafts but how you put the brooch pin at the back? what glue do you used? thank you
I believe I used super glue! Be careful not to stick your fingers 😆
love the vid and it was really helpful! my only concern is, is it okay to use acrylic paint and the use a water based glaze or does that not work at all 🧍♀️
Thanks for watching! I haven't tried it myself but my friend painted her pins with acyrlic and used the same sculpey glaze I did without any problems. It might differ depending on the brand of acrylic paint or glaze you used, but acrylic shouldn't smudge as bad as my gouache did! Hope that helps!
Can we use acrylic paint for the pins btw loved the vid 💗 😊
Yes you can!
@@AWonderfulSheep oki tysm !
Это так мило*-*
Как круто что я вас нашла
Thank you :D
전 해골과 유령이 귀여워 ‥😀 맘에 쏙🎆 드네요~~^^♥
감사합니다 작가님! 이번엔 마감제를 바르면서 좀 번져서 아쉽지만 좋은 경험였다고 생각해요! 다음엔 유령과 해골도 다 잘 만들 수 있을것 같아요!^^
What's the difference between using Acrylic paint and Gouache paint for the Polymer Clay pins? Do they come out any different?
I personally haven't used acrylic paint yet, but my friend told me she had no problem with smudging when she vanished over it with the sculpey glaze. I just know that when I used my gouache, it smudged a lot when I varnished!
@@AWonderfulSheep Thank you
Hello! ☺️ Unfortunately English is not my main language, so it's hard for me (and I believe for others) to read so fast. Could you please increase, just a bit, the subtitle period? I'm really sorry if I wrote anything wrong. Thanks for your time 🙏🏻😊
Thank you for your comment. I will keep this in mind!
Posca markers and acrylic gouache works best.
Thank you for the tip! I will definitely be trying both those out next time! Hope you're well. :)
Omg? You're based in Brissy? I'm in the GC!!
Actually no, I'm not in Australia. The postcard was from my trip to Brisbane and Sydney. Hope you're safe and well!
So the suitable paint is acrylic, isnt?
I believe so!
Alright, thank you !
is it okay if the clay used is Air dry clay? i mean no heating u know
Yes, I've made and painted beads with air dry clay.
How to stick the piece of clay to brooch pin? Super glue or baked together?
Great question! I glued on the pin backings with superglue after baking. (I'm sure a hot glue gun would also work.) I haven't tried baking it together yet.
Is it not peel off
The paint hasn't peeled off since I painted them
I have that exact plate lol
Hehe what a fun coincidence!
I only have acrylics, it’s better with gouache or acrylics?
I think acrylics should work fine. I would just be careful with the varnish you use afterwards-- try to use something that isn't water-based so it doesn't reactivate the paint and smear it. Good luck!
Thank you for the advice, it was a really good video keep going ❤️
Ike I’m very late lol but how did you attach your pins to the safety pin?
I just used super glue!
@@AWonderfulSheep tysm!
im starting to make clay pins but my paint gets streaky (perhaps from my brush)? definitely trial and error!
I had the same problem and can totally relate. It might be the brush, but also the paint. Are you using gouache? I hope you solve the streaky problem. I'm about to try clay pins again with air dry clay too, so maybe those will be more successful!
If you want clear shiny finish don't use glaze, use epoxy resin!
Thank you for the tip!!!
Hello where did you get the mat you sculpted the clays on?
Hi! That particular mat was from a store in Korea. I bet you could find similar mats at your local art store or online if you search for "cutting mat"
A Wonderful Sheep thank you!
can you use poster paint as an alternative to gouache?
You could but if the poster paints are water soluble it might smudge when you varnish them (depending on your varnish). That's what my problem was with my regular gouache and Sculpey glaze. I've been told acrylic worked fine and didn't reactivate/smear with the sculpey glaze. Hope that helps!
@@AWonderfulSheep thank u so much!! (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
Glad that someone finally asked about poster points 😀 No one talks about it here and i only have those and oil paints and watercolors!
@@maven5653 I haven't used poster paints myself but hopefully the right resin or varnish won't smudge them. Whatever you use I think part of the trick is not to overwork the varnish/glaze too. Completely coat with as few strokes as possible to avoid smudging. Hope you find a good solution!
@@AWonderfulSheep thanks!
