Description
download for full view~alright, as promised, an apple charm tutorial. x_x this is my first tutorial, i hope its not too confusing or anything.. @__@ i actually did this a while ago but was too lazy to put everything together lol >_<
lol, about the glove: I only use it for making small things like leaves (things that require pressing) because I don't want to leave finger prints. It's difficult working with two gloves on, so most of the time only one of my hands are gloved.. XD Some people use eye pins, others use loops of wires for their charms.... I use these screw eye things made out of wire that my friend made for me... so use whatever you have ..? XD If you want to post this tutorial outside of Deviantart, I'd appreciate it if you ask my permission first please~umm... ignore the 18 steps (you can prob condense it into like, 5..) - ITS REALLY NOT THAT HARD... xD
happy charm making....!!!! if this has helped you out even a LITTLE BIT, I'll be happy... :'D
and oh yeah.... funny story, I actually burned this charm, but you can't see it, LOL. DO NOT BURN YOUR CLAY!!!

This is really cute, I'm gonna make one at some point
I have a question- I saw that there are three types of FIMO- Classic, Soft and Effect. What is the difference and which one is best for charms and such?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I only tried FIMO Soft and Classic, so I don't know about the rest. The final outcome is the same so I don't know which is best for making charms... Soft is well, softer to work with, though.

i heard putting liquid bandaid on your fingers and letting it dry will get rid of fingerprints.

This is super cute, i have a doubt: Can i make the fimo figure and save it for later in the fridge? so i can make more and when i finish all i bake it all together (to save gas) in the case i do not fishe it all the same day.
i hope iยดve explain my self well coz english is not my native language.

Actually you don't have to put it in the fridge - Fimo stays soft until you bake it... usually I just leave it and cover it with some parchment paper so no dust or anything gets on it...

ooooo thanks for the tip
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yes you can
well done for saving gas ( and the planet )

your work is amazing!
I couldn't possibly make things so small and intricate ;___;

I'm wondering, how do you glaze your piece well? When I try, it gets everywhere, I get tons of fingerprints in everything, and it doesn't look very good :/
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
the trick is to wait until it dries completely before you touch it XD... some things can be hard to glaze, so try to do one side, let it sit for a bit, and once its dry, paint the other side.... ^^
