How to care for your clay jewelry

 How to care for your clay jewelry

How can you make your polymer clay jewelry lasts long? Here are some tips:

1. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, appliances, furniture like wood table tops and  certain kind of plastic as this may react to your clay pieces.
2. Never use jewelry cleaners on them, if your polymer clay jewelry is accompanied with metal, try not getting it onto your pieces by covering them with plastic while cleaning the metal.
3. You can restore shine on your pieces by buffing them with a lint-free cloth or you can apply a small  amount of future floor polish. Never use nail polish this may make your pieces sticky.
4. All metal tarnishes overtime to prevent progression, store your jewelries on cloth jewelry bags and avoid storing them in high humid area.
5.  You can clean your pieces using soap and water, avoid getting it onto metal. If water gets into the metal, try to dry them out completely before storing them.

Stone texture effects

I went to my favorite bead store this morning, and I met a friend who is also a polymer clay artists. As usual, we searched the store inch by inch to look for something that appeals to us. Almost everything appeals to us of course we have to do some budgeting in order to buy the things we really need. There were the usual items that we bought and there are more new ones.As I continue my pursuits, I came across this wonderful bracelet and thought of buying one, instead, I end up doing my own of course inspired by that bracelet. So, I want to show this project, it's so easy to do all you need is the right materials. Here it is.
