To make your polymer clay flexible, bake Premo clay for 1 hour at 275°. Bake in the oven on a ceramic tile for even heat. Always cover your project with a disposable aluminum container to prevent burning. You can paint your project, if you do, bake for another half hour. Once you seal your project do not bake. You can however use uv resin on your project and heat under a uv light or put outside in the sunlight to seal uv resin. Also if you want to put gems in your project, push them into your clay. If they are glass gems you can bake them, if they are plastic take them out of the pocket you pushed them into before baking. Once it is baked (1/2 hour after original 1 hour baking) pop the gem out and use E6000 to secure.
RUclips recommended your video today. It’s crazy cause I’ve watched it a few years ago. I had no idea what polymer clay was. So I did not save your video and forgot about it. After a while, Covid started and I WFH and tried to make things with polymer clay. Really love it. Today - bammm… RUclips suggested your video to me again and I really appreciated and understood what you were demonstrating. What a great video! Thanks.
Hi Josie and Sally! I wish you knew how much I enjoy your videos. I’m mesmerized with the techniques and how detailed your explanations are. Thank you so very much for teaching us so many wonderful ways to use your products. 🥰
Greetings! This is great. Tried these and polymer clay for first time yesterday. The recipe called out makes 5 bracelets. Not enough Wasabi called out. So, they are just making pea size balls of clay for one bracelet in the video. Very interesting process. The bracelets came out beautiful.
You should try silver clay in the molds. Silver clay is a clay that contains micro size silver and when you put it in a kiln or use a torch to heat it the clay burns off and silver in it fuses together and becomes solid to form the design of your molded clay.
Love what you are making with these moulds 💗😊👏🏻 You two have some great creative ideas going on. If you take a clay blade once you get the clay in the mould it will make a nice flat even back to your bracelets. These would look great if you painted them with acrylic paint and then wiped it down before it dries to antique them.
Great idea, just a couple of things as someone who works with polymer clay.... If baked properly, it should not break. Second, PC doesn't release toxins. It's safe, just stinks. Sculpey is quite clear about this. You can use your home oven it's fine. See Blue Bottle Tree, Ginger Davis Allman for more info :) Can't have misinformation about PC out there :)
When u HV Ur clay in the mould u then run Ur blade along the excess to remove it leaving a flat even surface for Ur piece,just a tip to help u out n Ur bangle is beautiful I luv it👍💖
I just received your 2 moulds and I can hardly wait for my days off so that I can get started on the bangle bracelets. Thank you so much for sending them so quickly.

What are you coating them with? I used Krylon clear spray and they are sticky. I also had one bracelet break on me, it was the faux turquoise and broke long the paint lines, wondering if lining the back with fabric or suede with keep that from happening.
Hi Joyce We used Krylon Matte spray. We didn't have the sticky issue 🤔. You can use another thin layer of polymer clay as well to git it a little more stability. We are still learning how to use polymer as well. 😀
@@IronOrchidDesigns that is what I used as well, wonder why mine came out sticky? I recoated with Folk Art satin water base sealer and they are some better
The krylon will get stickier as time passes. I tried it and it will ruin your piece. Please research in Polymer clay groups and videos what will work best. I think varethane is one that will work and I find I have to set my pieces on top of my hot oven to get it to cure correctly.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Happy 4th! 🌷♥️🤍💙🇺🇸
As a polymer clay enthusiast I’m very surprised that you have not strained the rollers and mechanism of your pasta machine!, to the extent that they won’t provide enough even pressure later on the clay. I have arthritis in my fingers and hands, I find conditioning the clay by hand keeps them supple and mostly pain free. As an after thought wish I could buy a pasta machine for $20, here in Australia they are usually over $100 or more!
Hi! Where can I buy this molds? I live in Mexico, and here it is difficult to find this kind of products. Please will you please to give me a link where I can buy on line. I was looking for both molds (trimming moulds 1 and 2) in Amazon and eBay and I didn't find them. Thanks! I enjoyed a lot your RUclips video!
Hi there, we do not sell our products through Amazon or EBay. We do have a few stockists in Mexico that should be able to help. You can find them on our locator. ironorchiddesigns.com/find-a-retailer/
You will damage your rollers on the pasta machine putting the clay through so thick at the start and strip your gears. Removing the fenders will help to cleaning your machine. Knead your clay to warm it up and rolo it to reduce the thickness closest to the thickest setting on your pasta machine. You can use cornflour on your moulds to stop your clay sticking if removing while raw. Wet your baked clay when sanding and polishing, if not wear a mask when sanding dry. I would suggest you look at some basic polymer clay videos to learn the basics.
Thanks for all the tips and recommendations. When we made this video, we were at the very beginning of learning and experimenting with polymer clay - our excitement got the best of us!
@@IronOrchidDesigns Finally got hold of your Trimming 1 mould here in Australia. Got to be lucky sometimes. Can't wait for it to arrive to make up some bangles. Couldn't get #2 but I will keep checking. I purchased your Curio Trinkets and Royal Filaments moulds as well. Have you looked at using these to also make up bracelets by joining with jump rings, etc? I can't wait to get started. Your moulds open up a completely new source for me to experiment with. You are both extremely talented, well done.
If you're making those butterflies into earrings, shouldn't you stab the holes in opposite wings, so they hang facing one another, not hanging the same direction of each other?
Now I totally need to look for a small oven to make jewelers in. Right after I finish healing from Covid, which has me bed ridden most of the time. Ugh....

How beautiful 😍!! I'm so excited, just today I got my first moulds 😃!!! May I ask a question please, I remember you mentioning that we have to do something to moulds before first use? Sandpaper 🤔? Ty so much in advance 💞
No sandpaper on moulds, with the stamps you condition them with very fine sandpaper. But the moulds you just use. Add a dusting of corn starch if anything
I loved the bracelets so much I went to my local IOD supplier in Ocala, Florida Two Sister's Antiques. She said she ordered the trimmings silicone molds in February and hasn't recieved them yet. Is there a way to order items that I love thru my local supplier and have a definitive delivery date...it would mean a lot to me. I sure would love to get started on some of your beautiful tutorials. Sincerely Loyal customer
Lynne, can you please email customerservice@ironorchiddesign.com and let them know the situation so they can help you resolve it? I'm sure we can help you get you a Trimmings mould ASAP. Thanks for working with us and we can't wait to see what you make. ❤️❤️❤️
@@IronOrchidDesigns That's definitely a safety rule for polymer. It's a pain but just a part of the process. Soooooo stay healthy and keep polying (is that a word?)!
ya can ruin your pasta machine by putting clay that thick in there, ya need to warm it up first, then put it threw much thinner..if not,you can strip the gears, and destroy the rollers..just sayin, but great Idea, I love it, I will have to try this
You will ruin your blades in your pasta machine shoving clay that thick through it even if it is soft. You need to roll it down to a couple mm with a roller first!
NEver-eber put thick clay into your machine, please... jesus, you can ruin your machine in a day, and its not inexpensive, its expensive especially the Atlas 180 (150-180 pounds!!!) the bracelet is awesome, but for beginners the basic infos are also important!!!
What do you do if you need like a 8 or 8.5 - Can’t tell how long that mould is. Isn’t there special release for polymer clay? I wish RUclips folks would sell something pertaining to their craft or crafts themselves, do drawings whatever to make money besides have these unrelated ads. Aggravating.
No special release for polymer clay and you can make these as long as you need by rolling a longer "snake" of clay and then moving the casting over as you make it (hard to describe). If you join the Creative Tribe on Facebook, there's a video in there on how to do this: facebook.com/groups/IODcreativetribe The mould cavity for the trimmings is right about 8 inches long.
Ok, firstly.. never ever store your polymer clay in a plastic baggie. Polymer clay isn't an air dry clay so no need to seal it inside a baggie but more importantly a plastic baggie will ruin your clay. There is a chemical reaction. Always store between the pages of an acrylic sheet protector. I've been making polymer clay jewelry for years and the absolute best tutorial channel I've found on youtube that will take you through beginner to expert is @Turtlesoupbeads. Susan takes you through how to make the tools you'll need at home using stuff you have laying around to how to bake your clay.. through the differences in various polymer clay brands.. all the way into making complex canes & so many other methods for using polymer clay. You absolutely don't need a pasta roller machine to do polymer clay! An acrylic cylinder works perfectly well. I was using polymer clay near daily before I finally invested in a pasta machine. Also, do not use your pasta roller for making pasta after you've used it for polymer clay. Pledge hardwood floor wax is a fantastic sealer for polymer clay. It leaves a fairly matt finish. But yes, you absolutely need to seal your finished polymer clay project or it will get really dirty very quickly. Your body oils will stain it also.
U need to roll Ur clay out first before putting in pasta machine,putting thick blocks in like u did will destroll Ur rollers,if u get time watch as many clay artists as u can u will learn so much u wldnt believe,it will help u in the long run so u wnt make mistakes in Ur work,hope it helps,u will become better I promise u👍💖
@@IronOrchidDesigns You're so welcome. I love what you made with the clay. Genius! I have both your trim molds I've used for furniture & other crafts & never thought to use them this way. I made these & gave them as a Christmas gift. She was thrilled!

Those pendants would be pretty with velvet ribbon and a little crystal and/or beads from the end.

A fine mist of water works as a good resist for polymer clay and there is no clean-up like cornstarch. Cool bracelets. Love your molds.

I wish RUclips folks would sell something pertaining to their craft or crafts themselves, do drawings whatever to make money besides have these unrelated ads. Aggravating.
No special release for polymer clay and you can make these as long as you need by rolling a longer "snake" of clay and then moving the casting over as you make it (hard to describe). If you join the Creative Tribe on Facebook, there's a video in there on how to do this: facebook.com/groups/IODcreativetribe The mould cavity for the trimmings is right about 8 inches long.
Ok, firstly.. never ever store your polymer clay in a plastic baggie. Polymer clay isn't an air dry clay so no need to seal it inside a baggie but more importantly a plastic baggie will ruin your clay. There is a chemical reaction. Always store between the pages of an acrylic sheet protector.
I've been making polymer clay jewelry for years and the absolute best tutorial channel I've found on youtube that will take you through beginner to expert is @Turtlesoupbeads. Susan takes you through how to make the tools you'll need at home using stuff you have laying around to how to bake your clay.. through the differences in various polymer clay brands.. all the way into making complex canes & so many other methods for using polymer clay.
You absolutely don't need a pasta roller machine to do polymer clay! An acrylic cylinder works perfectly well. I was using polymer clay near daily before I finally invested in a pasta machine. Also, do not use your pasta roller for making pasta after you've used it for polymer clay.
Pledge hardwood floor wax is a fantastic sealer for polymer clay. It leaves a fairly matt finish. But yes, you absolutely need to seal your finished polymer clay project or it will get really dirty very quickly. Your body oils will stain it also.
Hi Zoe! Thank you for all this information. We are definitely not Polymer Clay experts. We appreciate all the tips we can get. 😊🙏

@@IronOrchidDesigns You're so welcome. I love what you made with the clay. Genius! I have both your trim molds I've used for furniture & other crafts & never thought to use them this way. I made these & gave them as a Christmas gift. She was thrilled!
