My first air dry clay piece! 🪿 I was aiming for polka dot rain boots but my kids insist they’re fuzzy socks 😂

No special skills needed — just your hands, a bit of clay, and a few simple tools. Try it once — you won’t want to stop 🤍

I am so proud of him but I really underestimated how hard it was going to be and it definitely didn’t turn out how I expected 🤣 he is supposed to be a mandrake from Harry Potter, sculpted on a large glass milk bottle so can put flowers in, needs varnished I think he will look lovely with a shine 🥹

Made this little envelope charm completely by hand
The pieces are slightly uneven since I’m still learning and making everything manually, so I don’t want to overprice them.

Genuinely asking — what price would feel fair to you if you saw this online or at a flea market?

Hi everyone, I’m trying out new air dry clay types and wanted to know what to expect. I’m curious about foam clay. I also made another post on this group asking about air dry clay and someone said I should try out sculpey so I got a mini one just to try it out. Do you guys have any ideas what I should make with a small amount of clay? I’m still kind of a beginner. I first tried air dry clay in December of 2025 so any tips would be greatly appreciated 😊 I have also never tried creative paper clay so thank you for any advice!!

I made it bright red so I don’t forget my keys

Could have been a lot cleaner but I had fun making this for my small cross wall

i tried making cold porcelain clay in small qnty.. w cornstarch, fevicol, little vinegar and coconut oil. after 10 secs of microwaving, it got this weird doughy texture, which i didnt see in my reference video. it was supposed to be very sticky. and after 10 more secs it turned into.. that. what did i do wrong?

little Ada

almost ready (BJD was hand-sculpted with air-dry clay, painted with acrylic and watercolour paints, her clothes are hand-sewn and removable), 11'' (28cm) tall.

It's been really fun creating these pendants for necklaces. I've noticed they're quite delicate and crack easily. If I replace the varnish with resin for glazing, will they become more durable?

I sculpted the strawberries out of Das airdry clay, painted with acrylic and varnished with a glossy coat. I assembled them with acrylic beading for the leaves & flowers on an 18k gold hook. I think these are my personal favorites so far 🍓☺️

She is one of my favorite characters in the Pokémon anime because of her sassy personality and the headache duck that always messes up the team 🤣
