So… What is Polymer Clay?

what is polymer clay?

Simply its just like Modeling clay that children play with but it can be hardened when heated, keeping the form and colors of the final form you made..

in fact polymer clay is not clay at all it is fine particles of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) suspended in plasticizer that can be modulated just like clay

you can get it in very numerous colors, you may blend colors to form new ones..you can also work two or more colors together without blending them all up to you

polymer clay doesn’t dry in air like clay , so you can sculpt and form it without worrying about a time limit.

there are many uses it… Jewelry stones are the most common and seen.. but ther are decorative objects and statues, dolls and  many other uses..

It was out of my hands..

Hello everybody,
I was crying happy to find all those comment notifications on my email and was screaming that I couldn’t manage them and reply your kind comments.. It was completely out of my hands…
I was moving to another place(in another government), got sick, lost my computer which was containing most of my work, then that stupid problem about blocking my site by my internet provider.. I am now in a humble internet cafe around me when I finally could access my blog… I’m happy to be back and ashamed to be away for a …LONG while.. but you have my promises to improve the blog and get new ideas.. waiting for more suggestions and support…
Happy Day

Fast Tricks about glittery crafts

- Store your glitter in a wide plastic box with a cover and apply it with a plastic spoon.. this will decrease mess by glitter every where..

- Before storing your glitter wipe the container and the spoon with a dry piece of wool or wool yarn ,this absorbs the static charge and prevent more glitter waste by sticking in the container..

- Also wipe the craft project you are going to glitter before applying adhesives .. this will limit glitter to the glued areas only …
Thanks

Make it yourself wiggle eyes for your craft projects

what if you ran out of these wiggle eyes and need more for a couple of projects..

I made some just in no time..

ALL you need :

a medication tablet strip which is clear and rounded (keep medications away from children)

a flatened black bead

small piece of white card paper

white glue that dries clear

and scissors

Method:

use an empty tablet  slot from the strip and clean it from medication residues by  a dry cotton bud..

cut a little bit wider than the slot and glue the edges

drop the bead in the middle and don’t let it touch the glue

apply the small paper card over the slot and let it dry..

then cut just around the slot to make the wiggle eye..

Hints:

- use a flattend rounded bead suitable for the slot size.. not too large and not too small..

- the reason we drop the bead in the center is not to touch the glue..

- do not hurry and turn your wiggle eye before it is completely dry .. if the bead was stuck in the glue ,it wont be wiggle..

and also don’t try to cut the paper before applying it over the wiggle and let dry.. if it moves it will take the glue to the center of the eye and the bead will stick back..

enjoy..
