I had my first attempt today and scorched them, luckily, I was making food items for a dolls house and would have had to paint the leg of lamb and roast chicken but, as it happens they came out exactly the right colour. The rest were wooden bowls as it Medieval and spoons and the couple of things that cant be used can be chopped up to use as petfood in the house. Thanks for this video because I cant afford a rerun lol! Thanks again, I will get a thermometer because its better to know exactly and I will 'tent' the things I make. I subscribed because this video was super imformative for complete beginners like me!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips... I have that same oven and just recently started working with clay and with the first bake I got discouraged because, of course I nearly burned my first batch and the colors also changed. I can't wait to create again following your tips.
Hi Thank you for the tips, I badly needed it. I had burnt my clays so many times that I feel like giving up on them. But I will give it one more try after purchasing a small oven toaster. Keep posting your experiences, these are helpful.
Good morning Stephanie. Very informative and helpful but also misleading in one aspect. You stated that you purchased this small oven at WalMart (all well and good) but you said that it is a "convectional" oven. Unless I am mistaken, this is not a "convection" oven because a convection oven has a fan inside to move the heated air around and your oven is too small to include such a feature. Just saying. I should not be such a stickler about things like this but it can be misleading to some people.
Cool I've watch so many... Videos and your video is the best one I'd recommend to watch ! Thank you for not over talking and talking....like the other video you did a fine job simple thank you so much... Now I need a thermometer
Is there anything else instead of tile that can be used? Something that's more readily available? I dont drive so to have to find tile would be a pain. Maybe cardboard?
I don’t know the exact tile to link. But I purchased a long rectangular ceramic tile and I had my brother cut it for me. Any ceramic tile should work just pick one without a lot of texture or gloss finish.
How strong is after bake. Some people said baking for 30 minute or one hour. Can you give some demonstration how flexible is and save that is not brake easily.
Hi, Can you tell me what is "a white copy paper" ? The leaf that you show looks strong and I wonder what can of paper it is, it does not look parchment paper ...And can you explain me why it needs to be white. The color of the leaf/paper might bleed onto the clay meanwhile it is baking ?
Hi! I have preheated my piece and observed that they kinda melt. Is this because of the kind of clay? Also, do you preheat your oven toaster? I am working on oven toaster and preheated the oven for about 5mins but my clay still burnt. 🥺
I always preheat my oven for at least 15 min and check my thermometer often to make sure it’s not too hot. I burned my pieces at first too, it’s okay. Use practice pieces until you have your process the way you like it. This could be a few things; what temp does your clay require? Different clays need different temperatures. If you haven’t already try to get an oven thermometer. Are you using tile in your oven to prevent hot temperature spikes? And are you renting your pieces?
My piece was less than a quarter inch thick abiut 3/8s of an inch And it got discolored But never hardened I was baking it for over 40 minutes and it was still malleable
Hi!!! I just got a toaster oven and I’m baking on a ceramic tile, have the thermometer in there, but my first couple batches have came out of the toaster oven kind of smoking. Is that normal for toaster oven since it’s a more condensed space? Or does this mean I’m actually burning my clay? I’m used to baking in a large standard oven, and I haven’t really had the smoking issue. Is it possible that the white computer paper emits some kind of smoke as well? I just started using paper on top of my tiles. Thanks for the help
I’ve gone through so many so that’s a great question! I’ve used regular pasta machines and they only lasted a couple of weeks, then I bought the Sculpey clay machine and that lasted a few months (it didn’t break but it started clacking and getting stuck), then I bought the Marcato Atlas 150 and it’s hands down my favorite machine. Very smooth results, and it’s extremely sturdy. Brand new they can get pricey but if you don’t mind used you can find them on eBay for under $40. I hope that helped a little. Good luck on finding the right machine for you :)
lopez ortega I started with a pin vise hand drill from amazon. Once I got used to where the holes should be I started using a Dremel rotary tool. But if I’m just making a couple of earrings I still use my little pin vise drill.
Thank you!! Finally someone explain to me why my clay r discolored
Thank you so much ! Makes loving what you do soooo much easier.
This is perfectly what i was needing as i have the exact same oven and will be using it for the first time!!

Thank you, for the valuable information on baking polymer.

Hiiii, please tell me at what temp should I preheat my toaster oven before baking? Thank you!
I preheat at the same temperature that I bake my pieces. I mainly use sculpey clay so I bake at 275f
@@stephanier7115 thank you so much! 😊
Hey! Could you please link all the items in the video please. Especially what kind of tile or what to ask for at Home Depot!
I don’t know the exact tile to link. But I purchased a long rectangular ceramic tile and I had my brother cut it for me. Any ceramic tile should work just pick one without a lot of texture or gloss finish.

Hi, what type of oven are you using? Brand and price.
I didn't see anything at Walmart for $19.99

Burning polymer clay releases a toxic gas that can harm yourself and animals.
Thank you for sharing!!!!
question,.will the paper catch fire if i bake too long?that's not wax paper,right?
Great question! Because we bake clay at such low temperatures, no, it will not catch fire. But please do not leave it unattended :)
Mine did catch on fire!
Thank youu 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
What pasta roller do you recommend for the clay?

@@theseasaltco5691thank you so much for sharing. 😁 i will look them up. Also, what kind of drill is the one that you use to make the holes
lopez ortega I started with a pin vise hand drill from amazon. Once I got used to where the holes should be I started using a Dremel rotary tool. But if I’m just making a couple of earrings I still use my little pin vise drill.
I didn’t understand the name of the paper you say in the last for not to get shiny.
It is regular computer copy paper. We bake at such low temperatures that it will not burn.
Wont the paper burn?
I did this and the paper caught on fire!
Hi
Hi :)
