★ IMPORTANT EDIT: RESIN IS SUPER TOXIC! I was a big dummy in this video and did not use proper protection when handling the UV resin. Wear gloves and a respirator, and make sure you're working in a well-ventilated area!! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!! PLEASE!! ★ a little vlog-style tutorial of how i make my clay pins/magnets/friends! i hope this helps you out and inspires you to make more stuff — i always forget how much fun traditional tactile mediums are, and it's such a joy to get back into 'em~ lemme know if you've got any questions in the comments, and i'll do my best to answer them! ★ ✧˖° supplies • polymer clay — i use sculpey! • a small rolling pin — i use a small highlighter • an x-acto knife or boxcutter • holbein acryla gouache • assorted paintbrushes • hard clear uv resin — here's a few different ones: https://amzn.to/2OwtWmR, https://bit.ly/2Qze59z, https://amzn.to/35jjUMt, • uv lamp — this is the one i bought! https://amzn.to/2rTcTn5 i wish i had bought a slightly bigger one so it was easier to move the clay pieces in and out, but it does the job • epoxy glue (e6000 to be exact) to affix your magnets and pins to the back of your friends! you wanna let the glue sit for a day before using the pin or magnet — that way you know the bond is super strong and secure. i got my pin backs and magnets from michael's! ✧˖° socials • art + sticker shop: https://cheyennebarton.com •   / cheyennebarton   • insta: @chey.barton • twitter/pinterest/spotify: @cheyennebarton ✧˖° tools • camera: canon g7x mark ii • editing: adobe premiere pro cc + i use procreate on my iPad to create the hand-drawn titles • all music from epidemicsound.com love you so!
