Tips for Working With Sculpey® Air-Dry™ Polymer Clay

For the best results, keep the following tips in mind when crafting with air-dry polymer clay:

• Plan to work on a nonporous, well-cleaned and smooth surface. We recommend a metal sheet, ceramic tile, index cards, aluminum foil or the Sculpey® Oven-Safe Work Mat.
• Try to open only what you need at one time and leave the rest of the clay tightly sealed or wrapped in storage. Air-dry polymer clay is designed to air-dry and may harden prematurely if left unsealed.
• Knead the Sculpey® Air-Dry™ clay before shaping it into your desired creations.
• Lay or stand your air-dry polymer clay projects on one of the surfaces listed above in an area with low humidity. 
• Let your work remain undisturbed and untouched for approximately two hours to ensure the piece completely dries. 
• Use a combination of multimedia materials, crafting tools and your hands to mold air-dry clay into the design or shape you desire.
• Remember, the sky's the limit — create unique textures and patterns and incorporate mixed media elements where you see fit!
