Does it take lots of practice to do these? I have started recently but they arnt as good as the one on YouTube :( Please answer!

[simplekidscrafts]

@GuitarGal2409 I will send you a more detail email on this and exactly what to do to get a more professional finish. As you can see above this was my first cupcake to me now it looks okay, but not great. After I made this one, I did not get better because the technique is the same, I got smarter about what I used to make both the bottom and the top so it was not practice, but rather tools. I used more tools and to me it is not practice as much as knowing the tricks of the trade.

can you add a scent to it??

[simplekidscrafts]

@HUMANOIDGIRL1 Absolutely!

[SingLoid]

How do they get shiny? Does regular clay get like that when it's baked? And how much is polymer clay?

[simplekidscrafts]

@SingLoid You can put a barnish on it either the sculpey gloss or you can use nail polish though nail polish can corrode the polymer clay over time, it makes it look like ceramic. Polymer clay is about $1.99 per 2oz bar in the U.S

[TheArtzyVids]

When it dries, will it we squishy and flexible?

[simplekidscrafts]

@TheArtzyVids if you buy the "flexible sculpey clay" it will, if you buy regular sculpey it wont

[sparkleskies]

So you can put it in the oven even with the charm pin???

[simplekidscrafts]

@sparkleskies of course 100% that is how I do it :) you can see my charms on etsy dot com on the shop thecolorclay and you will see the charms there are all 100% baked with the pin in!

[YouFimo]

that was helpful! THX!

[OhMyGummyBear]

my eyepins always come out

:(

[simplekidscrafts]

@OhMyGummyBear try adding a bit of glue at teh end of the eyepin. For things like donuts and so on I bend the eyepin so it will stay in, for cupcakes it has to go straight so I bake then take the pin out then add a bit of glue at the tip

[msselenaglover]

@simplekidscrafts hey where do you get the charm pin thingys?

[simplekidscrafts]

@msselenaglover make them myself from wire or buy them on ebay. The tutorial on how to make them is in here "how to make eye pins"

[BillyBobThe8th]

This is awesome, thank you so much!

[xxxPOISONDOLLxxx]

can i use air hardening clay?

[simplekidscrafts]

@xxxPOISONDOLLxxx you could, but it is not the same :(

[AlexaCullen18]

Ur supposed to cut the eye pin so that it stays in.

[AgentSomethingCool]

@mebekashfara michaels any craft store hobby lobby joanns lady janes they have sculpy fimo craftsmart n more

[simplekidscrafts]

@AgentSomethingCool now a days I get it cheaper than any other store just buying online......

[TheSexyj123]

CAN U BAKE THEM IN TOASTER OVEN?

[simplekidscrafts]

@TheSexyj123 no, conventional oven only, they burn in the toaster oven!

[livxlaughxluv]

@TheSexyj123 Actually I bake mine in the toaster oven all the time! It works great as long as you adjust the temperature setting to the one on the package of clay! :) Hope this helps!!

[simplekidscrafts]

@livxlaughxluv my friend tried that and it burned, when she contacted the manufacturer they told her those were not our instructions :)

[IMREALLYHOTURREALNOT]

Will air dry clay work? lol. That's all I have until my grandma sends me some polymer clay, which is in like week and I am the least patient person on EARTH! lol

[simplekidscrafts]

@IMREALLYHOTURREALNOT Air dry clay does not work in the same way. 

[simplekidscrafts]

@mebekashfara Michaels, amazon, a.c more and walmart

[simplekidscrafts]

@mebekashfara walmart, amazon or michaels :) depends on where I am at :)

[candied88dj]

do u hav to bake and how long is sujested

[simplekidscrafts]

@candied88dj depends on the clay brand, this is sculpey so it is 15 minutes in an oven for 275 F.

[BinoandFino]
