Cindy,This again was AMAZING!It was all so natural and real and not some weird edited video.I love your content and what you create,You seem like such a nice person!Keep doing what you love and I wish you the absolute best!
After watching this video, I just ordered one of your sets. I couldn't find you on Etsy, but I found your website. Can't wait to receive these and create! :)
Cindy, you are just a genius, seriously. I love how EVERY single video of yours I've watched, teaches me something new. I admire how you're so honest & natural with it too. You really are a joy to watch & my fave Polymer Clay tutor! 😉 Thank youuuuu 🙌🙏☺️
Oh my goodness girl. I could sit and watch your tutorials all day, but then I wouldn't get anything else done. I have learned so much from you. I am new to the polymer clay world and so far have made quite a few messes, but I shall not give up. LOL Keep the videos coming. I love them.
Did you make that tiny rose in the bottle? If you can you show us. I just love it! Thanks for your videos, I'm new, and already have learned a lot . Thanks again💕
Hi, I ordered the little funky tools from Plamena after seeing this video. She was absolutely wonderful to deal with. I highly recommend buying through her. I bought through her website.
11:24 I went OMG and I just tossed it in the trash thinking I'd never need/use it. So a digging I go. Took it out and now I have a perfect little hole puncher for all my clay project. THANK YOU
What a great little set! Maybe you could also push the larger shapes out using a cotton bud (if necessary)? The tiny one made really great holes in those leaves, so perfect. I must say, your video on saving the remains of a Skinner/Teardrop blend was one of my favourite tips EVER. I always do it, if the blend is pretty enough to save. Thanks! xx
I used the flat end of an exacto blade handle and that worked pretty goo for the large ones. Of course if you use the wrap it won't get stuck in the first place. Wouldn't work on the tiny little guy though.
Loved the video Cindy the little mishaps made me laugh. Thanks for all the great tips and tricks you share, I'm just getting started with clay so your channel is one of my faves. 😊
Yeah those mishaps are part of my world! LOL Since we don't edit the mistakes out, I've had to learn to roll with whatever happens. :) Thanks for the kind words and the support! It is very much appreciated!
It very nice for her to send you a gift xxxxx I love your videos .These are call cord pin /wire ends just in case people can not get hold of her sets .. You can buy them buy the 100s . From 0.5-16mm and they are only about £6 for a set of 600 .
Sorry that should read sharing with us. I'm off to Etsy now. I see you can purchase these for electronic use but I l Iike to support individuals and small entrepreneurs. We'll loose them all to the big companies if we're not careful. Off of soapbox now, sorry.
Hi - thanks for sharing your great tips. Do you have any suggestions for removing clay from cutters without distorting the clay? I've used plastic wrap which gives rounded edges but would like the look of clean edges without marring the clay when pushing out from the cutter. Thank you.
One thing you can do is dip your cutters into cornstarch first before cutting. Another tip, if it a small cylinder type cutter, like these ones, then you can blow on it like a straw and pop the pieces out. It isn't always possible for the super tiny ones, but it often works.
Her Etsy shop, Little Funky Flames doesn't seem to be working so I got her other shop page off of her FaceBook: en.dawanda.com/shop/LittleFunkyFlames And her FaceBook page in case anyone wanted it :D facebook.com/LittleFunkyFlames/ Her tools are awesome!! Can't wait for mine to show up!!!!
Yeah we ended up sending her so muchbusiness that it overwhelmed her site and she couldn't keep up. So Etsy closed her site. She has been honoring all her orders though and they have been getting shipped out. Hopefully your order will arrive soon. Jjust so everyone knows, my friend Aniko from Mymandarinducky has the tools for sale. Here is an affiliate link to her shop if you're interested in picking them up: tidd.ly/519a42b0 She calls them Dotties and has them in the Tools and Supplies section of her Etsy shop.
I gotta say I just started watching you like in April. AND I LOVE YOU! I'm only 14 and I love the tips you give. have you ever considered a giveaway? ? by the way... u are my favourite you tuber EVER -thank you
Thank you Mackenzie! I sure wish there was something like RUclips when I was your age. (I imagine I probably would have been begging my parents to let me have a channel!) It is wonderful way to learn from one another. Happy to have you here! :) Oh, about the Giveaways... right now we are super busy getting our new website upgraded, but we do have plans to do some giveaways in the future. Thanks for asking.
I just put the order in for them they will be extremely useful for a lot of things. I also use the end of a pastry tube(for cake decorating) for small holes and texture too.
You're lucky to get them Linda... she has already sold out! The pastry tube is a great idea for cutting out small holes. I guess they would end up tapered, since the walls of the tube are not straight, but that could work in many situations. Thanks for the suggestion!
It doesn't really taper them if the clay is not too thick and there are a lot of sizes I also use them for texture I have tons of the tubes I used to do a lot of decorating back in the day. LOL.
You can also use these cutters for texture, like on dragon skin or what not. Check out Mandarin Ducky here on youtube, she also uses and sells them. Alternatively you can buy them on aliexpress for pretty cheap, they are called bootlace ferrules or crimp connector.
Great points brikhouse22! That is great that Mandarin Ducky sells them too. I thought I had seen them around before. No wonder, they are perfect for polymer clay!
Sorry everyone, I spelled the shop wrong, I got about 10 different shapes from this shop, with excellent timely service. DINKYARTESANIA on etsy.com. She even sent me some nice free gifts.
If you like those you should also check out MyMandarinDucky - she sells them too and calls them Dotties. She also has a You Tube video where she explains how you can modify them to make different shapes.
I found that she doesn't sell them anymore but you can get many many shapes of them from DINKY ARTESANIA on Etsy. You can also get the circle set and then reshape them the way you want to. Or use the metal from votive candles and shape the way you want and then use PC to make a comfy handle for it.
Hello PolymerClayTutor. Please Help!! I accidentally brought Jack Richeson 4-Piece Clay Hole Cutters from Amazon. I need your suggestion on how to use them because they have this wooden handle and due to that my clay gets stuck in the cutters whenever I use those on polymer clay. Due to those handles I can't push my clay out from back side. Thanks In advance :0
David - I have sent you email responses to this question, posted info for you at my blog and responded to your messenger requests... all with info that hopefully will be helpful for you, if you see it. I just sent you an email today. Please check your spam folder if you don't see it in your main inbox.
Hi Cindy, what a lovely demo and set of little miniature cutters. When I click on the link you have attached however there is no direct link to the lady's etzy store, and when I go on etzy and enter little funky flames sofia bulgaria (also tried without her personal name), nothing comes up? just a pair of non related earrings!. Does she not sell them anymore? (July 2018) Hope to hear back from you. :) Thanks in advance. Teresa
Hi Teresa, unfortunately The owner is no longer in business. Here is a link to the same cutters in our Amazon Shop:amzn.to/2JxVV0G They are in bulk so maybe you will want to share them with your friends! 💖
Hi there, sorry to hear you're having troubles. I have just sent an email to Plamena myself, so hopefully we can get to the bottom of this very quickly. It may just be a case of too many orders too quickly. (Plus it is night there when it is day here, so that causes some delay.)
I just heard back from Plamena and this is what she said, " I have so many orders to complete that I can't get to answering all emails and messages. I am giving my best to complete them as fast as possible, and actually considering finding someone to help me with the communication with clients, because I do everything all by myself now." I hope this now puts you at ease. She is a good person who is doing her best but has been swamped by the volume of sales. Just be patient if you can. She will get the product to you as soon as possible. Also take note, sometimes the postal systems in others countries are not as fast as they are inside the USA. I have had packages from other countries including the US take anywhere from 1 to 8 weeks to get to me in Canada. Sometimes stuff will sit at the border for awhile.
(I did mention that in the video, but you knew that already since you are the Sharpeyed Watcher LOL) I love it when people take items with one use and figure out a cool whole new use for them. Super clever in my books!!
![[DOKKAN BATTLE] Worldwide Campaign Announcement Video Part 2!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JpT5Voak6WA/mqdefault.jpg)
These are use in cake decorating and have been for years . Best cutter in the world for clay is to start shopping in the cake decorating department

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you popping by and saying such kind words! You take care as well! 💖
Thank you very much, Cindy, for the beautiful video! I am very glad you like the tools!
You are more than welcome Plamena! Hopefully you have enough inventory in your shop because I suspect you will sell out quickly!
Happy news Plamena!! I hear your store has sold out! How soon before it is restocked? People are asking me on Facebook.
And emails now too! :)

I think they're used for electric cables....just bend them with pliers! But is awesome she thought of giving you this gift 😄
Yes it was awesome!
Correct :-) i have used them allot in electronics projects. It never came up to use them for sculpting/cutting :-) awesome idea
So cute
Thanks for these with us, I'm off to Etsy. Blessings

These tools would be great for making seamless small bezel settings for flatback swarovski crystals!

I have an idea. Use a few pieces of double sided tape inside the lid and it will keep the poker tools in place
Do they still have these little funky tools on Etsy? I can’t find them. If not where can I get some of them?

I know this is an old video, but the shop seems to be gone from Etsy and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a set of these tools now?
Do you know if those can be formed into other shapes; using pliers or such? I need to make 2-3mm hearts in mass qnts. Please help 🙏
Question. Did you shape the cutters in diffrent shapes because I don’t see the other two shapes for sale
I just put the order in for them they will be extremely useful for a lot of things. I also use the end of a pastry tube(for cake decorating) for small holes and texture too.

Super! Side question ...About the Glad press n' seal. Do you think one could store cane or clay in it?
I have a cane wrapped in it and waiting for a few months to see if it reacts over time. I'll do a PcT Test Lab video on the results when it is ready.
Nice video. I enjoy it a lot. Thanks for sharing! Sifoutv Pottery
Where can you get 17mm diameter Circular clay cutters?
I can never get the little metal circle cutters to release....😢

That's great! Thanks for sharing!
How did you make the Tack Bottom on the Mushroom?
Can you review the sculpey bake shop clay? I'm very curious about them!
I will. I have it on the list but just haven't done it yet.
Hi. Can you please tell me we're to buy these nothing on etsy and that other site little funky flames has nothing for sale , I'm puzzled
I found that she doesn't sell them anymore but you can get many many shapes of them from DINKY ARTESANIA on Etsy. You can also get the circle set and then reshape them the way you want to. Or use the metal from votive candles and shape the way you want and then use PC to make a comfy handle for it.
Could not find them there either

Hi ,found the on Mymandarinducky thanks 👍😃
I love u🧡🧡🥂
Neeeeeed!
These look great but I'm looking for a punch that will give me donut rings. Do you know where I can find those?
Why don you just use two sizes of circle punches? Larger one for the outside of the doughnut and a smaller one for the hole.

Hi Teresa, unfortunately The owner is no longer in business. Here is a link to the same cutters in our Amazon Shop:amzn.to/2JxVV0G They are in bulk so maybe you will want to share them with your friends! 💖
I pop some plastic wrap over my clay than cut with the ferrules ..stops the blasted sticking.
That is a great tip as long as you don't mind the beveled edges it gives to the cutouts!
@@PolymerClayTutor I get only slightly rounded edges but that's ok !
In the UK try monkeyann.co.uk - she has lots of dinky little cutters.
she doesn't appear to exist on Etsy anymore.
looks like she sold out already.
She has restocked (a couple of times now) and should have some in there if you're interested.
I ordered these cutters on the first. They have yet to ship. The seller will not respond to emails. Please consider not recommending them.

Cutters LOL. They're not cutters they're electrical wiring terminating ferules for the ends of electric wire.
(I did mention that in the video, but you knew that already since you are the Sharpeyed Watcher LOL) I love it when people take items with one use and figure out a cool whole new use for them. Super clever in my books!!
