Clay Tips!
Condition the clay by kneading it well before use, or the beads will be brittle.
Sculpey 3 is good for chunky beads like we made today, it is also easier to conditions BUT if you are making thinner items use Premo or Fimo as they are more durable.
Use an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is accurate, otherwise you might burn your clay.
Use a timer so you don’t over bake the clay (your smartphone has a timer on it!)
Use pigment ink, chalk or mica powder on raw clay and it will become permanent when you bake it.
Use an acrylic based sealer if you wish to seal your clay after baking.
Rough edges can be sanded and holes may be drilled after baking if desired.
Avoid mail ordering polymer clay in the summer as the clay can get «Truck baked» if it gets hot. Most big box craft stores sell polymer clay and it often goes on sale for 88 cents a brick. Those sales keep stock fresh and fresh clay is easier to use.
And the most important tip is to have fun!
