Air dry clay is a fantastic medium for crafting because it’s easy to use, requires no kiln or oven, and allows for endless creativity. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, here are some amazing air dry clay ideas to inspire your next project!
1. Mirror Frame
Mirrors are always a fun way to accentuate any wall. Why not make a really cook frame made out of clay?
2. Fruit Trays
Trays for jewelry and little thingys you have laying around always come in handy. I love these cute fruits with faces!
3. Trays with Cute Little Characters
Another version of a clay tray. This time the creator put a little frog character on it, so adorable!
4. Cute Charms for Keychain or Jewellery
There are so many charms you can make with air dry clay. Your imagination is your limit.
5. Mugs and Coasters
an obvious idea is mugs and coasters. You don’t need a fancy clay wheel to make nice pottery, your hands are enough and the result gives this nice handmade structure.
6. Vases with incorporated Gemstones
What a great idea to incorporate gemstones into clay pieces. You could do this not only with vases but also with so many other pieces.
7. Hand Painted Jewelry
Combine your clay charms with pearls, crystals, chains etc and you can make your fully custom jewelery.
8. Tic Tac Toe Game in Fruit Design
This is such a fun idea and really simple to create. Start with a plate and add the grid. Then you can become really creative with the stones and the coloring. I love this waffle design!
9. Mushroom Candle Holder
Candle holders are another great idea. I really love these mushrooms but you could create really any form for your candles.
10. Handpainted Cutlery
Another fun idea are these cutlery pieces. Just make sure you don’t wash them in the dish wash machine, as the air dry clay and the colors used are not always suitable for it.
With these air dry clay ideas, you can create unique and beautiful handmade items for yourself or as thoughtful gifts. Happy crafting!
