Teeny Tiny Polymer Clay Cutters by Little Funky Tools

In today's video I am going to show you some Little Funky Tools from Little Funky Flames on Etsy.

A little while ago, we did a video on the Miniature Enchanted Rose. In that video I explained how to use a drinking straw to cut out tiny circles out of polymer clay, to make the miniature rose.

Well a long time viewer by the name of Plamena Ivanova, from Bulgaria, saw this video and contacted us. She said that she has been watching our videos for years and wanted to send me a set of tiny little cutters as a gift. She promised they would make cutting very small circles a whole lot easier for me. What a sweet gesture!

When the package arrived, it was decorated with her lovely script handwriting, and the tools were packaged in a handy (and cute) little box with a magnetized lid. There were 32 cutters in circles, ovals and teardrop shapes, ranging in size from 1mm to 10mm. Also included was a bamboo stick that can be used as a handle to hold onto the smaller cutters if needed.

The bamboo handle came longer than the box, so I trimmed it to fit snuggly inside the lid, which you will see in the video.

I played around with these tiny cutters and was inspired to make a miniature poisonous mushroom, some tiny leaf bead earrings and some neat little 'Mermaid Tail' shaped earrings from a sparkly Teardrop Blend. You will see samples and learn how I made them in the video as well.

Today I am sharing some love back to Plamena, by sharing this video with everyone. If you're ever in need of cutting teeny tiny holes, or cutting out teeny tiny shapes, then you will want to check out Plamena's Etsy Shop - Little Funky Flames. This world could use a few more kind and generous people like her!

These are use in cake decorating and have been for years . Best cutter in the world for clay is to start shopping in the cake decorating department

11:24 I went OMG and I just tossed it in the trash thinking I'd never need/use it. So a digging I go. Took it out and now I have a perfect little hole puncher for all my clay project. THANK YOU

Oh my goodness girl. I could sit and watch your tutorials all day, but then I wouldn't get anything else done. I have learned so much from you. I am new to the polymer clay world and so far have made quite a few messes, but I shall not give up. LOL Keep the videos coming. I love them.

Hi,
I ordered the little funky tools from Plamena after seeing this video. She was absolutely wonderful to deal with. I highly recommend buying through her. I bought through her website.

[reginaplley]

You are so gifted. I love to watch you.

[minisinpa]

Such a lovely gift she sent you. Love the way you did the Skinner blend also.

[WandavanBogerijen]

They look so very handy! A pitty shedoesnt have the teardrops anymore! Tfs

[UnrulyHousewife]

What a great little set! Maybe you could also push the larger shapes out using a cotton bud (if necessary)? The tiny one made really great holes in those leaves, so perfect.
I must say, your video on saving the remains of a Skinner/Teardrop blend was one of my favourite tips EVER. I always do it, if the blend is pretty enough to save. Thanks! xx

It very nice for her to send you a gift I love your videos .These are call cord pin /wire ends just in case people can not get hold of her sets .. You can buy them buy the 100s . From 0.5-16mm and they are only about £6 for a set of 600 .

[Queenofdamned]

I think they're used for electric cables....just bend them with pliers! But is awesome she thought of giving you this gift 😄

[harpersmythe]

Loved the video Cindy the little mishaps made me laugh. Thanks for all the great tips and tricks you share, I'm just getting started with clay so your channel is one of my faves. 😊

[carriefraser]

I know this is an old video, but the shop seems to be gone from Etsy and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a set of these tools now?

[valhadfield]

Thanks for these with us, I'm off to Etsy. Blessings

[ghettogirly]

Hi - thanks for sharing your great tips. Do you have any suggestions for removing clay from cutters without distorting the clay? I've used plastic wrap which gives rounded edges but would like the look of clean edges without marring the clay when pushing out from the cutter. Thank you.

[taresainhouston]

Do they still have these little funky tools on Etsy? I can’t find them. If not where can I get some of them?

[janusquiamco]

These tools would be great for making seamless small bezel settings for flatback swarovski crystals!

Do you know if those can be formed into other shapes; using pliers or such? I need to make 2-3mm hearts in mass qnts. Please help 🙏
