I loved your salt dough video. You always tell us we can turn of the talking and just watch, but the most fun part of the video is listening to you speak--you have such a nice accent.
Thank you Susan - I really appreciate that🙏 And thanks so much for watching and taking time to leave a comment.🙏❤️
Perfect!!! Your video was just what I was looking for. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!😍 Thank you for watching.
I absolutely LOVE your bails! And your whole experiment is a great idea!! Thanks for sharing your ideas with us! 😊🌈❤️
Thank you Susan - I didn’t invent the bails and I’m not the best at making them for sure! There are people on here who do it really well. Thanks for watching and reaching out - always appreciated. 🙏💕
Ha ha Funny
Absolutely lovely. Many thanks for sharing it.
You are very welcome - thank you for watching. 🙏
I've made salt dough Christmas ornaments before, but never thought to make jewelry!
Hi Melinda! Next Christmas you can make pendants to hang on the tree and give them out as presents😂😂😂Save some money! Thanks for watching - I really need to head over to your little niche on the net and see what you’ve been doing. 😍
Very simply explained! Thanks!'
Thank you Jean🙏And thanks for watching.💕
I'm making fake valentines day cookies with this recipe. I'll add the link to my blog. Big hugs from Massachusetts USA!
Hi Malena - hope your cookies worked well! Apologies for the delay in responding. Thanks for watching.🙏
Absolutely Beautiful!
Thank you so much Deborah. Much appreciated. 🙏💐
You're absolutely welcome! :-)
Purple is always considered the color of royalty but I love that turquoisey blue with gold. In my mind, THOSE are the regal colors.
Hi Debbie - thank you, as always, for watching and commenting. Strangely enough, I am working on a project right now using purple and gold, but I can’t find a purple that I really love - still looking! But yes, I agree, turquoise and gold is lovely. Thanks again.😍
Very nice i will try these.
Thank you Lyn. I hope you enjoy making them and thanks so much for watching.🙏😍
Loved this!!!
Thank you Angela - pleased that you like them😍.
great video!! I love all your craftiness and fun!! you always make me feel as though I can do anything!!!
That’s because you can! 😊Thank you for watching.😍
Beautiful work, thanks for sharing.
Thank you🙏much appreciated. Thanks for watching💕
So glad to find you! Your instructive videos are so helpful.
Thank you for watching - glad you like my videos.😍
Nice.
Thank you!🙏
Years ago my children and I made this recipe and made Christmas tree ornaments and painted them
Yes - I imagine you could make some gorgeous decorations using salt-dough. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@RainbowLane I never thought about making pendants, their beautiful
So lovely. Thanx for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.😍
I am making Nordic-Viking- celtic symbols, and Futhark Bindrune pendants fir winter solstice- aka Yüle!
Sounds excellent!!!! 🤗 Lovely idea. Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. 🙏
Great video and love the pendants they are all lovely. When I roll out the dough I use a small rolling pin and lolly sticks on each side of the dough to the thickness I want, it works for me anyway xxxxxx
Thanks Nikola - that’s an excellent idea - I’m sure lots of people will love that! Thanks for watching and sharing your tip - much appreciated. 😍
Your all welcome my daughter said I quote "Mum no one will like that comment" But I am glad you thought it was a good one. What I actually did was glue the lolly sticks together so that they stay put so that's another idea xxxxxx Thank you for sending your reply that made my day and can not wait until my dear daughter wakes up a I will show her your reply lol x
That made me laugh very loudly! Tell your daughter I love my viewers and commenters! Without you - I'm talking to myself - and that not good.🤪 It's also helpful for other crafters to share things related to a project that I wasn't aware of. That's how we all help each other to improve what we do. Say hi to your daughter for me! 😍
Beautiful! As are all your creations. :o)
Thank you! Much appreciated.🤗
Very Nice! Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome Jossi - and thank you for watching and taking time to comment - much appreciated.
Yey these are fab. I'm gonna have plenty of time on my hands after I've had my back op, I can't wait to try it out, loads of ideas floating around. I had the same problem with Anitas glue, I keep a tube indoors now as I think it got too cold out in my shed. Anyway enough ramblings looking forward to your next creation 🤗
Hi Kaz - thank you for watching - it’s interesting what you said about the cold because I did wonder if that is what caused the white to appear. And ramble all you want! I love hearing from other crafters😍. All the best with your back surgery by the way - I had two goes at that back in the 90s and it totally changed my life for the better. Thanks again for being here.
@@RainbowLane thank you it's been very tough and having my crafts has been very therapeutic. I'm Feeling very positive about it and can't wait to have a normal life again. 🤩
I'm sure you will get back to normal after you get over the op - sending good thoughts and best wishes to you😍.
@@RainbowLane thank you so much. All went extremely well and I came home on Tues. 🤗
Oh Kaz that's brilliant! I'm really glad to hear it went well. Hope your recovery is swift. Don't worry if you have off days along the way - they are just blips. After both my ops, I came out quite euphoric because it was over but then after a few days, I felt really down for no apparent reason. Be kind to yourself.😍
I love these pendants so much. I've been wanting an easy way to make my own pendants and this is it. You are brilliant. Have you ever considered drilling a hole in the pendant instead of using a bail?
Hi there Vegan Hippie (love that!)🙏 Glad you like this - it is a geat way to make durable pendants with loads of scope for artistic expression. Yes I have drilled holes too but I do like the bails. However, driled holes do look quite nice with a leather thong looped through. Thanks so much for watching and commenting🙏💕
I finally got around to watching your lovely video. I've never made salt dough before but it could be something I try one day. Loved watching you through your trials and errors, so I'm learning what not to do :)
Glad you found it helpful Lesley - thanks for your support on here, much appreciated.😍
i think your scrappy ones are quite lovely. thank you so much for your beautiful creations..stay well and in good sprits..Cheers:)))
Thank you Lynn, your visit and comment are very much appreciated.😍 And thanks for the well wishes which I wish for you too.
@@RainbowLane Thank you rainbow lane for your well wishes:) im going to make your clay recipe today..ill tune back in and report my reaults:)) cheers:)))
Thank you.
I would use the thick pendants for bead embroidery.
Hi Oonagh - that’s interesting - how does that work? I don’t know anything about bead embroidery but am intrigued by what you’ve said. I’m sure other people would be interested to know too, so feel free to tell us more here. Thanks for watching and commenting - much appreciated.
What is "bead embroidery?"🤔
Rainbow Lane you would take the thick pendant and glue it down to bead embroidery backing. I use stiffened felt. Then bead your design around it to create a bezel. You can do most any design. Think like painting or drawing with beads. I made my sister a turtle 🐢 pin. The thicker pendant allows you to bead higher.
Thank you Oonagh - that sounds brilliant - your explanation is much appreciated.😍Have you got any of your work on CZcams? If you have, people can click through from here to see it. I'm guessing it's very pretty.
Rainbow Lane I have nothing on CZcams, just pop “bead embroidery jewelry” into the CZcams search and you will get a treasure trove of information. If you search just “bead embroidery” you will also get video for the embroidery on clothes.
They are beautiful and very lite for your ears 👂 too! Love it’s. Can you leave it’s dry over night? Thank you.💖💖💖
Hi Rosaelina, thank you. These really do need to be baked so they go rock hard. But if you can't do that, you would need to leave them somewhere hot and dry to dry out thoroughly. How long that would take might depend on the climate wherever you live but I don't tink overnight would be long enough to really dry out to the point where they are rock hard. Thank you for watching🙏💕
Thanks, I tried salt dough one time and it was like the first ones, very think. I think I might give it a try again. Take care😊😊 appreciate you sharing
Hi Denise - Many thanks for that - so glad I’m not the only one! I think the trick with salt dough is finesse. I have seen pictures of some really rough, clumsy looking salt-dough creations in books and I was disappointed when some of my first batch looked like that too! But I think I was encouraged to try again because some that I had rolled out thinner looked ok. Good luck with yours and do let me know how you get on with your next attempt - I love hearing about what other people have made. Thanks for watching - much appreciated! 😍
Can u resin these??? Beautiful work thank u 4 sharing 💓 💖
Thanks for your question, the answer is, I haven’t tried but I don’t see why not if that’s what you want to do. It would probably look lovely. 🤗😍Thanks for watching. 🙏
Lovely video
Thank you Janice - I appreciate you watching and commenting. 😍
Thank you Janice - I appreciate you watching and commenting. 😍
I find that a pasta machine also rolls out a consistent thickness . Well worth the investment if youre making lots of these.
Thank you Luisa - I have wondered about pasta machines but never tried one - is there one that you could recommend? There are so many! Thanks for watching.
@@RainbowLane I've only used mine, so Ill tell you about mine. I love it. For starters Its manual & all stainless steel for easy cleaning and no rusting. Everything is removable for easy cleaning and easy storage, including the turning handle . All except the thickness knob. Which by the way has upto 10 thickness settings on the side. My pasta machine has a removable clamp, that you can tighten to the underside of your surface or table. I tend to put mine on those non slip cloths before I clamp it. Its just to protect any wooden surfaces..
I was lucky to find mine on sale (I live in Australia. Btw. ) many years ago.
I was also lucky to find two large marble cutting boards for $10 each, which are excellent to work on. Clays dont stick. Ive seen Other use ceramic tiles so that they can just bake their item straight on the tile to oven.
Oh yes icing rolling pins are excellent for embossing surfaces as are stamps if you have kids at home, try your kids toys if you're a crafter, your embossing sleeves. Texture tools, your brushes work too. People look in your kitchen drawers for embossing tools.
I'm new to salt dough. I'm tired of spending a fortune on other clay products. Im looking for a less expensive, more organic alternative. Thats what I'm doing this weekend. Playing with salty dough.😊
I watch a lot of videos before I do or go buy anything. Then I try shops on Facebook., People sell their unwanted thing there. Thats how I find most of my tools . My way of recycling. Only then do I hit
The Ebay stores.
I hope Ive helped.
Thank you very much for that information - it's helpful for me and and I'm sure lots of others. Much appreciated.
Have you used your machine to do this? How thick was the dough?
I don't have a machine yet Kryssy - it's on my list! Maybe @Luisa Kessanis could help?
Hi They are lovely... I would like to know if I can air dry this or dry it in the microwave... god bless you :)
Thank you Sharina that’s very kind of you. You can air dry - it takes 2 - 7 days, depending on the climate where you live. And you must turn the pieces over throughout drying. I didn’t have much luck with the microwave but some people do use that method. I tried and didn’t get good results! I will look to see if I have any times and temperatures for using microwave and if I do, I’ll post them here. You may have better luck than me. Bless you too and thank you for watching.💐
Do you think i can use epoxy as a sealer?
Well yes you can but it’s more work than just using a a clear glossy varnish. I haven’t used resin for a long time so I’m not the best person to ask. But if you really want to use epoxy for durability, then you probably won’t mind the extra time it takes. Thanks for watching.🙏😍
hello nice video. may i know will it smells in the future?
Hello there, thank you for watching and asking the question. I can tell you that none of the ones I have made have ever gone bad and smelt. You must make sure your don't let them get wet. If you keep them dry they will be fine. Love your quarantine workout video by the way. Very good and great music. Stay healthy!😍
Where can I buy the textured roller you used? The one that’s made to use on icing or fondant?
Not sure if you are UK based or not but if you are, you can get this exact same rolling pin at Hobbycraft. It’s called the Swirl Embossing Rolling Pin and costs £3 - a very good price for such a useful little tool. If you are not UK based, you could try going on the Hobbycraft website by Googling the name and seeing if they deliver worldwide. Failing that, if you go to my website ( there is a link on the end screen of all my tutorials and in the About section for my channel) you will find links to my Amazon shops in which I have similar embossed rolling pins. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
So I can use it to make jewelry and it dont brakes and not getting old?
All the salt dough jewelry I have ever made has been strong and durable. As long as you bake it slowly and let it dry thoroughly before you paint it and then use a high quality sealer, it should be fine. I’m not sure how salt dough reacts over time in other climates but in the UK climate, my salt dough jewelry has been hard wearing and strong. Hope that helps.😍
Awesome,Can you let the dough air dry over night instead of baking?
Yes Rasheme - absolutely you can - I should have mentioned that so thank you for asking the question. I would give them a couple of days somewhere warm though before you paint them. Thanks for watching.🤗
Thank you.
@@RainbowLane does temperature matter if we let them air dry? For example, the temperature in a home?
I am pretty new to this salt-dough thing - but, when I air dried some - I put them near a radiator that was just warm (I'm UK based and it's the end of our winter now).They dried completely within 24 hours but I left them a further 24 hours to be sure (they were thin ones). The more warmth you give them, the quicker the moisture will evaporate so I'm guessing in a colder home, they might take longer to dry out. The main thing is, you need to dry them gently with very low heat, whether it's oven dried or air dried, because the gentler you dry them, the less chance of them puffing up. Some salt-dough creations look very rough because they went puffy - with pendants, you need them nice and flat. I hope that helps.And thanks for your comments.😍
@@RainbowLane Thank you so much for your response!!! CZcams hasn't been sending me my notifications when people talk to me!😌 I hope that gets straightened out, but your response was VERY thorough, and I understand how to do this now no matter what the temperature is.👍😘🙏❤️
do they break if they get wet?
I’ve never let mine get ‘wet’ as such. If you put a good coating of glaze they are splash proof. But as with any non metal jewelry, I wouldn’t recommend showering, bathing or swimming with it on. Thanks for your comment. 😍
Can this be baked in the microwave oven or a toaster oven instead?
You can use a microwave but it’s a very tricky process of trial and error. Some people do get good results with a microwave but it is easy to overdo it if you aren’t careful with finding the right settings and timing. You could use a toaster oven as long as you don’t have it too high. The aim is to dry out the dough thoroughly and keep it flat. Good luck and thanks for. watching.
@@RainbowLane thank you.
I have heard that using wood glue will make the clay waterproof. Have you ever tried that?
No I haven't Cheryl. I do use wood glue for other things but I tend to use a clear varish on these. Thanks for watching. 😍
Don't add flour in the end ..makes it look dry.
Try adding a tspn of hand cream while mixing dough for a smoother look/feel. 😍
Thanks for the tip - I’m sure people will want to test it out for themselves. Many thanks for that. 🙏
@@RainbowLane y/w😍
How fragile are they? Do they break easily?
Hi Georgia - the ones I made are rock hard and under normal use for a piece of craft jewelry, they are not likely to break. A lot depends on how you bake them and how you treat them afterwards. If you are planning on making some to sell, I would suggest you mix a small amount of dough to try it out, keep a note of your precise measurements and baking times so you can standardise your process, and then try various ways of snapping them once they are completely finished pendants to see how much pressure your particular pendants will take before they break. There are people online who have been doing this for years to make Christmas decorations and I read about one person whose Christmas decorations are 40 years old! The trick is to bake them thoroughly and have them come out completely flat with no air bubbles rising up. To do that you need to minimised kneading the dough and don’t keep lifting the dough up out of the bowl while you are kneading it - be gentle to avoid getting air into it. Then bake them slowly on 100C for 2.5 to 3 hours, or even air dry them in a warm place for a couple of days. You should come out with very hard, durable pendants but of course, anything will break under pressure and only you can determine what that pressure is for your particular pendants. Hope that helps and thanks for watching and asking the question.🤔😍
@@RainbowLane wow ty for a thorough reply. I will give it a try.
Ok., So it's the salt that gets it hard?
Yes that’s right.
1st,
😍
Where to keep the rest of the dough?
Hi Joan - if you don’t use it all, you can keep it in the fridge in a plastic bag. Not sure how long it will keep because I haven’t been using salt dough very long - but I had some in the fridge for a week and it was fine. Thanks for watching - much appreciated.
Are these rock hard? I'd hate to have them snap and break on me.
Hi Claire - all I can tell you is that mine are rock hard and under normal use for a piece of craft jewelry, they are not likely to break. But it depends on how you bake them and how you treat them afterwards.
