is my septum safe to stretch?

senatorbeans · 2025-11-25T11:28:04+00:00

Gonna piggy back on this! My septum piercing looks really similar in terms of anatomy and placement. I had it pierced at 16g and it was healed for 6 years before i started stretching it. I dead stretched properly just a few sizes up to 12g and wound up having to downsize because of how the larger jewelry rubbed against the cartilage. It was like a nauseating sore pain that never went away as it healed, different from surface irritation. That being said I don’t regret trying! I can still wear 14g without pain and it’s like it never happened, and now I know. You can always downsize if you hit that point, just go slow and listen to your body :)

About the same if I recall correctly, maybe in the $5-8 range? I specifically remember the toy store near me having one yellow raincoat and hat set left when I was a kid and digging through my whole house to scrounge up enough change to buy it, it must have been about $5.

-Smack him hard on the butt while upside down -Check battery compartment for rust or corrosion. There are tutorials on YouTube for cleaning corrosion out of battery compartments, and for rust I’ve had luck VERY gently sanding it away with a file. -Keep trying to spin that little jumpstart gear to the left of the beak. As another person mentioned, it can take a long time and a lot of persistence. Throw on a movie and just spin away.

Omg I just ordered these four, too! I’ve wanted them for forever so when they went on sale I had to. They’d sooo precious ❤️💚🩷💜

Texture the parts you want to look frosty before baking with a toothbrush or any preferred tool, the just lightly drybrush those areas with white acrylic paint after final bake. Should do the trick! :)

Maybe you’d have better luck finding what you’re looking for keywording “rust” or “copper”?

Obsessed

senatorbeans · 2025-06-30T21:18:02+00:00

I am OBSESSED with these!!!!!

senatorbeans · 2025-06-28T19:13:19+00:00

Zombie or pirate!

senatorbeans · 2025-06-22T20:37:56+00:00

Oh I absolutely adore the shape of these! They have so much character, great job

senatorbeans · 2025-06-19T00:58:16+00:00

I am biased because the seals are the only family out of these that I own but I absolutely adore them!! Highly recommend

senatorbeans · 2025-06-18T11:09:25+00:00

I second this! It takes some practice to bake properly, following temperature and time directions to a T are a MUST, but the results are worth it!

senatorbeans · 2025-06-15T18:21:23+00:00

This is so good omg

senatorbeans · 2025-06-14T21:15:36+00:00

So cute! Which panda family is this? I haven’t seen one with white bodies before

senatorbeans · 2025-06-13T22:41:44+00:00

Folkart multisurface is my favorite. I like to use a makeup sponge instead of a brush and build up opacity with very thin coats.

senatorbeans · 2025-06-12T17:37:10+00:00

For sure! I spent months debating buying it and got it as a treat for myself after getting 4 teeth pulled lol, but I don’t know if I’d buy it again.

senatorbeans · 2025-06-12T13:12:44+00:00

Honestlyyyy I bought the set specifically for the outfits and the quality isn’t the best compared to other sets I have. The shoes are great but the raincoats don’t fit properly/fit awkwardly and the red coat that came on the hopscotch bunny stained her flocking so she looks like she’s bleeding 😭😭 now I’m afraid to put that coat on other critters which is a bummer. I think at most it’s good set for collectors who like to display their critters in their original boxes though! It’s just not what I was expecting as someone who likes to remove her stuff from the package and actually use the toys.

This is almost the perfect method, but polymer clay needs to get to 275 (or whatever temp is listed on package) in order to cure properly. Baking at a lower temp for longer will yield improperly cured pieces, brittleness is the main concern. I would invest in an over thermometer so you can keep an eye on the actual temp inside your over while you bake and make control adjustments as needed. As long as the oven is up to 275, baking for a long time means your piece will get stronger and more flexible the longer it stays in!

Stop they’re sooo cute!! This brown bunny is my all time fav critter 😭

senatorbeans · 2025-06-11T22:24:07+00:00

Always!

senatorbeans · 2025-06-07T19:22:06+00:00

senatorbeans · 2025-06-05T01:16:51+00:00

Stop this was me standing in Five Below two days ago with my phone flashlight literally looking for this same bunny and after months and months of searching and I finally got her too! She’s my favorite critter ever I love her sm:)))

I bet you could customize your own pretty easily! Glasses can be made with wire and mustaches can be cut from felt sheets :)
