If you're ready to call up your best buddies, throw on your favorite tunes and get lost in the magic of polymer clay, we're here to help you get started. Here's an overview of polymer clay and what you need to begin marking the colorful clay creations of your dreams.
What Is Polymer Clay?
Polymer clay is a soft, non-toxic clay made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC is a plastic polymer and is one of the most commonly used plastics in the world.
PVC and other ingredients give polymer clay its unique malleability and brilliant color. Polymer clay will not dry out like other clays, and it retains its shape once it's baked. So, you can make a pair of ice cream cone earrings for your sweetest friend, and they won't melt!
What Types of Polymer Clay Are There?
Sculpey polymer clay is available for all levels of experience. Generally, beginners will want to start with the softest type of polymer clay so they can easily knead and shape clay with their hands. Once you develop your crafting abilities, you might want to experiment with more complex projects and other types of polymer clay. Here are the different types to help you choose the right polymer clay for you.
