what do you use to make it shine after it's been baked?

[dkperez712]

I tried this out and it works WONDERFUL!!!!! Thank you so much for the tips.

I really want to know where you got the mold. Seriously.  I know at least two other people asked, and I really would like to see an answer.

KimPollen, you're rude. What did you want her to do ? A song and dance routine? A few card tricks? Geeze-people can be so mean- and ungrateful. To those of you asking why not just stick an eyepin or wire in the middle of the heart- her answer is correct. That can cause all kinds of messy problems- and serious clayers know how a professional finish can take your work from a craft project feel to a profitable professional art jewelry standard. I understood her Chrissy to mean this was a techniqu

Or you could just stick an eye pin in the center of the heart before you bake it...

@kimpollen83

Rude and illiterate apparently.

How do you make the molds?

[chrissis111]

@Philipe4ever This one is made from plaster. There is another video on how to make molds from moldmaker. Thanks for asking, Regina

[chrissis111]

Because you want the back of your heart to be completely flat so it looks professional. If you just bury the wire in the heart, it will have an uneven, very messy, unprofessional look to it. Once you do the technique, you will see how perfect it comes.

[1100bunz]

why not just stick the wire into the heart shape?

[eashiminaj]

nice, thank you.

[kimkeen]

Very nice somewhat simple yet effective exactly as i like it, many thanks for the upload. Keep up the great work :0)

[marksb68]

where did u get the heart mould from?

[2katskratch]

do you add the little sparkles before or after the pendant goes into the oven?

[adrkprinces85]

where by the kit give the web

[alexbeautynmakeup]

when you out the wire in the heart, and then put it in the oven to bake, do you baek it for the same amount of time as you would without the wire or is it different?

[happypappyization]

why dont you just flex the molder thats what i do it is veryy help full thanx loved it bye bye

[chrissis111]

Flex the molder? What does that mean?

[ArtistWoOoOo]

@chrissis111 i think i know when i saw you trying with the dental tool,just flex the "paper" to get it off easily

[DamDiDaLaLa]

@chrissis111 flex in a way of bend... but you can only do that with a silicon-mold and i think your mold is solid... :)

[ciz4cookies]

@chrissis111 She means, if your mold is flexible or bends a bit, just turn it upside down to face your table, and push the mold away from you with your thumbs, while pulling towards you with your forefingers to pop the clay out of the mold. :) If your mold has no flexibility, then this will obviously not work. Like your idea though. I haven't seen that before and I can use for other projects. Thanks for the video.

[MrsShowTime]

I didn't know that I needed to Know This! Thanks!

[LLLLvids]

Thanks for the tutorial! I love the idea of using molds and after seeing your video am going to start keeping an eye out for found object molds that may create interesting pendants. Great inspiration.

[SilverWynd3]

I was wondering about your method of applying the two piece of clay together. Do they stick without using a polymer medium?

[chrystabelle42]

hey could you take a phto and show the finish result i want to see what the sparkle looks like and your vids are great!

[burtv1610]

a porster or pasta machine? cool design :)

[maizzy]

wow, that's really cool! :) although I don't make jewelry it would be great to use for charms... :) thanks :)

[DKMontoya4670]

I wish the video would run continuously and not "start and stop". Maybe it's my computer?

[theresa5]

Thank you so very much. Very informative video. Where did you get the adorable heart mold?
