Feel free to check our other videos, there are some, where applying the clay in the component is more clear. You can buy these components online, there are many sellers on Etsy with worldwide shipping and good quality components :)
Hi! Sometimes we use pasta machine, but because not everybody has it, we mostly do not use it in videos, so people see the simplest way of creating with polymer clay :)
I also have uncommon suggestions for all levels of polymer claying. 1- Get a dollar store plastic cake cover and use it to cover work in progress pieces so you don't have to keep transporting works off your worktable and you can keep it covered from dust. 2- Use an empty small spray bottle and dilute 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water, every now and then you spray and wipe your work area of dust. I also use a squeeze bottle like the ones you find in the pastry sections with the little red cap with 90% alcohol on q-tips for cleaning dust off clays, and also to squeeze on paper towels for cleaning clay colors off my work area and to clean my tools (i highly suggest using gloves with 90% alcohol, extremely drying and it is possible to get chemical burns). 3- I also use my needle tool to scrape/drag embedded dust and lint off my clay. I use my exacto knife to also scrape and cut dust or accidental cross clay contamination from out my clay, so you don't have to overly be dependent on wiping dust off clays with paper towels and q-tips which can leave behind unnecessary lint and paper debris. I only use paper towels and q-tips with alcohol when there's a lot of dust. 4- Use hand sanitizers and paper towel on your hands between color changes, the colors stain the hands and contaminate other colors every time you touch a new clay, especially reds! Whites become pink easily. 5- I use a clear plastic table cover over my worktable, i get the ones that are too big for my table on purpose because it will drape over the sides with items on my table so dust hardly gets under the covers to get on the table. 6- Sacrifice a piece of translucent polymer clay to clean your pasta machine between rolls, put it through the rollers, wipe it across your pasta machine handle, and get the crumbs of clays off the bottom of the machine. It's great for getting dust, glitters/mica, and colors off your pasta machine so no color contamination, then when it gets too dirty simply add it to your scrap clays as filler clay! 7- When done with claying, use alcohol wipes or hand sanitizers on paper towels after each project and wipe your fingertips, it will save you time trying to wash polymer clay off your fingers with just soap and water, and it will save your fingers from the sometimes suggested "sugar scrub" that only destroys your fingertips. Just wipe and then wash with soap and water, no clay residue to fight with and your hand still gets soapy clean.

Thank you! What kind of oven do you use, please?
Hello! In the video you see a toaster oven, which is good but normal kitchen oven is more reliable and we prefer the kitchen oven :)
im new at your channel, do you ever use the pasta machine. Thanks❤

This depends on your project, but for my projects mostly rubbing alcohol applied on toilet paper is enough to remove my fingerprints
