HOW TO: Make a BUTTERFLY FRIDGE MAGNET with Polymer Clay! #butterfly #polymerclay

Happy New Year! To start the new year I wanted to make something I'd been staring at for years without considering how easy it would be to make and here we are. The butterfly magnet was born.

Enjoy! :)

Video Features

Tools:
-White and black polymer clay
-Guiding wax (or you can use gold mica)

Baking Polymer Clay:

UK instructions for baking- it's all in Celsius not Fahrenheit, which is why I don't always quote times & temperatures. I recommend using Polymer Clay packet instructions. However a good tip is to bake no higher than 100 degrees Celsius. It's better to bake at a lower temperature for longer, than higher for shorter.

Larger clay items need longer- always check after 10 mins- sometimes things fall over in the oven & can be rescued at this point. Watch for burning! Especially white as it's quick to burn (don't know why...) and can turn yellow!

Once out of the oven wait for it to cool before thinking it's baked- if it feels soft to touch, you can poke a finger nail in it or a finger print, back in the oven it goes!

Electric ovens work better as the temperature is even, gas oven temperatures fluctuate do not keep a steady temp for baking polymer clay.
