During preparations, I came across another tutorial on this topic&#8230; it was free&#8230; but what I saw concerned me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">From experience, I can tell you that anyone who follows the instructions in that freebie tute, is going to experience a lot of frustration. Most of the information shared, was either incorrect or missing important (critical) details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Now I am positive the person who wrote the tutorial was just trying to be generous and wanting to share. The problem is, there was a lack of knowledge of the materials being used. The project as taught, is pretty much guaranteed to fall apart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So I decided to do this PSA <em>(Public Service Announcement)<\/em>, in hopes of helping at least a few other clayers who happen to see it. Feel free to pass the link around to others you think may benefit from this video&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9yeBeRi6CRw?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/back-issues-03\/#vol-055\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">6 Part Vol-055 Video Series<\/a> <em>(it&#8217;ll be posted later this week)<\/em>, all of you paid members will receive even more in-depth tips and tricks on how to make professional looking polymer clay Christmas ornaments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">By the way, if anyone has a polymer clay challenge you&#8217;d like me to address in an upcoming video vlog, do post your idea in the comments below.
