Sculpey® Projects 

Polymer clay is one of the most versatile crafting media available. From chic wall art and home décor to handmade jewelry, polymer clay is a readily available, easy-to-use option. Before you begin crafting with Sculpey® clay, be sure you have aluminum foil to create armatures, a clay blade, and a toaster oven or a standard home oven for baking your creations.

We hope to inspire you with our how-to guides and polymer clay community projects so you can find the perfect undertaking for your entry into the world of polymer clay.
