    Love this idea. You are a genius. Can I give you an extra tip that I saw on thefrugalcrafter website. If you lay clingfilm (saran wrap) over the clay before you push down with the circle punch (bottle top) you end up being able to extract the piece easier and it has a lovely bevelled edge too. I hope I explained myself okay. I tried it on some Xmas decorations and it worked a treat. Tfs

    You can also print out individual letters using the font “American Typewriter,” which is considered a basic font and comes with most word processing apps.

    LOVE these!! I got a Royal typewriter caked with rust from 1910-20s-ish in a thrift store for $10 with the plan to pick just use the keys, but after I used a soft toothbrush to brush some"rust" off the keys, I realized it was dirt! It even types. ;-) Thanks so much for sharing!

    I really enjoyed this video. So clever. I had no rest until I tried it. I didn't care for mine so I left them to dry and the next day, what do you know, I liked them!! I used paper circles I punched from my scraps and my alphabet stamps. I also made some on buttons, they were fun, too. Thanks for sharing your crafting Joy with all of us.

    Love this video. Wish our clay was as cheap as yours in the states even at full price. I would get a small tub for that price. Have to come to the states with as n empty suitcase nick.lol... cant even find your glue that everyone seems to be using... Thouroughly enjoy watching your videos and listening to your stories and that bubbly laughter you have...Wicked !! Thanks for sharing and hi from the land of Oz

    Love them!! ❤️Thanks for another inspirational idea! Also, just thinking out loud, if someone wants to make them the same size as yours but doesn’t have photo altering software, they can print them out and then copy/scan them reducing the size of the copy until they get the desired size.

    Hi Nik. Love your journaling style. Made these keys after watching you and Stacy Evans, Pink Poodle Crafts, and they came out pretty good. Right before I made them, however, I checked Facebook Marketplace and found many vintage typewriters for sale, ranging from $20-$100. The next day, the one for $25 that was right in my neighborhood was already sold. But that's ok because I prolly would have felt badly about taking it apart... I now have my own keys anyway. So thanks.

    For those who don't have a resizing program...I often use my PowerPoint program to resize photos. Just import them to a blank presentation and click and drag to the size wanted. I use this a lot when I'm printing pictures for journals because I can put many on a sheet and resize them and print.

    • @NiktheBooksmith
      @NiktheBooksmith  6 років тому +1

      never thought of using powerpoint like that, genius, rebecca! tfs =)

    • @RebelSol67
      @RebelSol67 6 років тому

      :) Glad to help. It's so easy to drag and resize/shape your photos and print groups of photos. I hate wasting paper printing one at a time so this lets me get the most photos on one page.

    I love these! I just bought a big tub of this clay to make Fairy Items (I run Fairy Garden classes for kids - we made Thanksgiving food!). I am excited to try all of these, but the pendants would also make great ornaments....

    Nick - thank you so much! I love this. I pulled up the image from alteredartifacts and saved it. It saved as a picture so I printed it from the photo program (Windows) on the 8 x 10 paper setting but sized as a 4 x 6 photo and they came out the perfect size. Hope this helps those who don’t have photoshop.
