Tool and Supply List
Sculpey 3 polymer clay in black
Pearl Ex Pigments in Antique Bronze, Gold, Duo Red Blue, Reflex Violet, Silver and Spring Green
18 gauge steel wire - other metals will work too
Wire cutters
Small paint brush
Assort clay sculpting tools
A flat board to work on
A sharp knife
A piece of paper to keep the door from sticking to the board
Access to a household oven
A sturdy box or object that offers a complete right angle for shaping a flat bottom to the fairy door frame to stand on once baked.
Sculpey 3 Polymer Clay Baking Instructions
Preheat your household oven to 275 degrees, place the door and board in the oven on a piece aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes per quarter inch of clay thickness. (to calculate this, find the thickest part of the door, measure the thickness and bake according to the above directions.) When the baking is complete, turn of the oven and open the oven door. Allow the fairy door to cool completely before handling it.

Your fairy door looks great, Jake!! Enjoyed this video as I have your other polymer clay videos. I'm planning to do a woodsland fairy "village" for a good friend as a gift this year. Thank you for sharing with us!
Awesome to hear from you. Please, if you make things that are even in part as a result of my tutorials, I like to share images of "student" sculptures with my viewers. It is a great confidence builder. My email is on my "about" part of my channel page. Thanks again. - Jake :-)
Very nice I wasn't sure about the black but final touches made it stunning. I'm a follower.
Jake, you do a great job on everything you do. I absolutely LOVE this door! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent!
Hey! Where can I find the varnish you mentioned? Our fairy doors are going in the woods at our local park, along the trails. By the way, this is the best fairy door tutorial I've seen on youtube so far! Thank you!!
You can get spar varnish at hardware or paint stores. Do a test area on your polymer clay to make sure the varnish won't break it down. Thanks so much. -Jake :-)
Очень здорово. Спасибо за идею. Браво.
I see your posts in the Polymer Clay Tribe on Facebook & I love your work! This is my first time watching one of your videos, it's always interesting to hear the voice behind the magic! haha Thanks for sharing, I'm now a subscriber!
Hey Amy - wow, this all sounds so great. I hope you get a lot out of the videos and let me know if I can help. Besides the comment section here on UA-cam, you can email me any conversation, pictures of creations or questions. My email address is in the "about" section of my channel page. Thanks so much for you comment. - Jake :-)
Love it!!
Thank you! :)
Hi Jake, this video, (like your others), is so inspirational and informative! This one happens to be one of my favorites! You make it look so easy. I tend to get a little impatient and flustered with myself when attempting new projects, and your reminders to be patient, and continue to practice helps tremendously! I understand the importance of baking according to directions. But, would it be possible to say how long you baked this specific piece just to give me a guide of sorts? I would really appreciate it. I'm excited to try this project, but only on a smaller scale. Using black clay accented with pearl ex pigments has become a favorite of mine to use. Thank you so much for sharing your talented creations and encouragement! Victoria
Thank you so much for your comments and compliments Victoria. Sometimes I note an approximate baking time for a project but you would be surprised at how many do the baking time I suggest - the result, a lot of messed up sculptures. Of course, every sculpture made is going to be different. It is just not a good idea to suggest times to bake. However, on an individual basis and by email, I would discuss it with you. My email address is in the about section of my channel page at UA-cam.com/user/TheJakeFolger :-) Thanks again for your comments and kind words. - Jake
hi Jake you're doors are great can you please give me some ideas what to do with them thank you
You can place them on your wall to act both as decor and fairies can used them as a portal to pass through. Hope this helps. - Jake
