Polymer Clay Crafting Tips
- Work with a high quality product like sculpey clay.
- Use plastic wrap in an air tight container to store clay.
- Score where you want two pieces of clay to stick together.
- Shape cutters work best on a flat, solid work surface.
- A craft oven is not needed.
- Bake at low temperatures to allow the clay to set slowly and prevent cracking.
- You can find clay of all kinds of different colors at Michaels stores.
I love the pretty texture that the doily imprint makes on this handmade ornament! I could see making these with the kids as a Valentine’s or Christmas craft. The polymer clay is super durable once baked, making it perfect for little kids.
