Good hack is read the full description. The blueberry ones said "for cake decoration" and "fondant" so that's probably why it's so soft. It's just not for clay
I feel like some of these aren't meant for clay. Just because it's a mold doesn't mean it's for everything. The rose one to me would probably be better for resin or liquid type substance vs. clay. I dont work with clay, so I could be wrong, but the fact that it's so squishy, I dont feel like it's meant for clay. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. ❤
This was such an interesting video to watch as I make cutters myself and always wondered about the quality of temu/Shein/Ali etc. The only issue I have with them is a lot of the designs are plagiarised from small businesses 😢 (not the ones you got as far as I can see). With regards to silicone molds the cheap ones almost always never work as there is a massive difference between different types of silicone. These ones look way too floppy whereas handmade ones use a stiffer silicone. These molds are usually advertised for icing and cake making so they are probably made with that in mind instead of clay. Looking forward to you doing a tool review video ❤
On the leaf mold and some of the flower molds if you use something flat (like a acrylic block) and press straight down you can get better results. I've used the same leaf and one of the flower molds with silver clay and they work great. I got mine from Temu also.
Good morning, I commented on your live a few weeks ago. I have all my clay now, a few cutters. I still can’t find a hand drill tool or earring findings that are hypoallergenic for sensitive ears. Also would you recommend making clip on as well as for pierced ears? Thank you, such a helpful video from a fellow West Country girl xx
Temu is VERY like Wish, aliexpress and amazon, in the sense that there is various venders on the platform. So I can def see some random ones being higher (someone who didn't catch up with others price changes maybe). I always see the same dang product (usually stolen pic OFC) several times on the website 😅😭 That said, when I started playing with resin and mini kits, I got a LOT of good stuff from Temu SO CHEAP

I've learned with dodgy molds that if you push and spread the clay with your finger instead of just pushing it down then it works really well!
Ohhh I’ll try that! Thanks 😊

They are moulds and cutters for sugarcraft
I realise that now, makes sense! Good to know now though😊 thanks for watching!

Ohhhh that’s so helpful, thank you for letting me know! Do you have a shop on Etsy or website?? I’ll need to check your cutters out! ❤

I really enjoyed this one! Shopping and trying it with you was fun 🤣 tools next!
Thanks 😊 I’ll get some tools too 🎉
I would use resin or chocolate in the blueberry one. The bendyness of it would help it demold without tearing
I do think you should try the tools next, I was defiantly
Surprised with these, I can’t believe your peppermint earrings was done with this cutter!❤
Yesss I know isn’t that crazy! I’ve got some on the way 😊 thanks for watching as always ❤❤
Great video, It would be interesting to see temu tools like you mentioned xx
Yesss I might do that one next! Thanks for watching ❤❤
I've brought a good few moulds and haven't tried using them as yet 😂
Oh & when my clay pulls out of the mold with my finger, I just dab cornstarch on my fingertip
Oh that’s a good tip!! Thank you, I’ll try that next time!❤
@@charrings no problem, I hope it helps!😊

Try using a rolling pin

Yeah I feel like it’s definitely good for beginners if you’re just testing out to see if you like it before investing!
Not gonna lie, I'm very new so I've bought a lot of my cutters & molds cheaply online so I deal with irritating fiddly things like that
I thinks it’s great for beginners, you get something very affordable with a similar quality to ones from Etsy!
