Hey crafty friends! Today I’m so excited to dive into one of my absolute favorite crafting mediums—polymer clay! If you haven’t experimented with this versatile material yet, you’re in for such a treat. Polymer clay is colorful, forgiving for beginners, and can be transformed into literally thousands of different creations.
I started working with polymer clay about five years ago, and I’ve become completely obsessed with how accessible it is for crafters at any skill level. Whether you’re a total beginner or have been playing with clay for years, there’s always something new to try!
Let’s explore some of my favorite polymer clay projects that are perfect for your next crafting session:
1. Clay Hippers
If you need a little friend that watches you when you are working for some emotional support, you will need a clay hipper!
2. Jewellery Creations
Earrings, charms, there are so many jewellery creations that can be done with polymer clay.
3. Miniature Food
I know this doesn’t serve any purpose. But there is just nothing cuter and more fun to create food out of clay, I don’t know why!
4. Magnet Friends
Incorporating magnets into polymer clay is surprisingly easy and you can become really creative with the kind of magnets you can create with it!
5. Keychains
Keychains of course. We cannot have enough keychains, combine them with beads and hang them on your favorite handbag to make a statement with your own creations!
