How To Soften Your Paper Clay • In this video I show how to soften your paper clay. The paper clay has a weird consistency when you buy it. It looks dry and with a lot of small fibers. You can make it smooth and easy to work with by cutting it in small pieces place it in a container spray water on it, close the container and leave it for a few hours. • The paper clay I used for the video: • Das modelling material - http://amzn.to/2r5FEHY • • Since I started my YouTube channel I got asked thousands of questions and I tried to answer all of them ASAP. Unfortunately not everybody is reading the video description so I got asked repeatedly same questions again and again and again. So I'll answer them one more time here: • 1. What clay do you use? • I use a paper clay. I either buy it or make my own depending on what I want to create • 2. What's the difference between the bought paper clay and the homemade one? • The homemade one is not that soft and is only good for textured surfaces like stones and tree bark. It is very cheap to make so it might worth to sand it and work it a little more than buying a paper clay. However, you can't keep it more than 5 to 7 days in the fridge. It has the best consistency when you just made it and it's fresh, so I would recommend you use it in the same day or the next and don't make more than you need • 3. Can I use air dry clay? What's the difference between air dry clay and paper clay? • Often times shops will sell both paper clay and ceramic clay with the same label air dry clay . It's true, both are air hardening but there are quite a few differences: air dry clay(ceramic clay) is actually mud, natural clay, while paper clay is made with cellulose and other ingredients. Paper clay is stronger than air dry clay(ceramic clay). Air dry clay (ceramic clay) shrinks and the paper clay does not shrink. This last difference is where paper clay is the better choice for my kind of projects. My projects usually require you to cover a jar or a plastic bottle. If the air dry clay shrinks and the bottle or jar remain the same size... you guessed it... your air dry clay will crack all around. It might be a lot cheaper but it's not what you need for these projects. • 4. My clay cracks, how do you cover the cracks? • You don't, you change your air dry clay to a paper clay! See why at the previous question • 5. How to waterproof my paper clay creations? • I recommend using a yacht varnish. Apply a few coats and make sure you cover it all around so no water touches your clay • 6. What brand of paper clay do you use? • I use Das modelling material - http://amzn.to/2r5FEHY • 7. Where can I see the list of materials? • As a general rule of my channel... READ MY VIDEO DESCRIPTIONS! I write it for you guys, is no secret what I use. For every video I write a description of what I do and what I use. • 8. Do you sell your creations? • No, not yet, my daughter loves them too much. • 9. What colors do you use? • I mostly use watercolors and acrylic paint. • DISCLAIMER: There are affiliate links in the video description, which means that if you click on one of the product links and buy something, I’ll receive a small commission with no additional cost to you.
