@simplekidscrafts hello~ i know this is a silly question but may i know what is paper clay? i want to but polymer clay, but i don't know how it looks like, so i just buy a clay named paper clay (silly right?)

[simplekidscrafts]

@milkmaniacful not silly at all. Paper clay is a light form of polymer clay used for case decoration, frosting, etc it is usually air dry and very convenient for projects like bottle tops, phone cases, deco mirrors, etc. Polymer clay on the other hand is oven baked and suited for projects like charms, small figurines, miniature food etc

[milkmaniacful]

@simplekidscrafts thank you! i really don't have an idea what t do with my paper clay hahha thankyou sooo much!

[simplekidscrafts]

@milkmaniacful gosh if I had paper clay I could do so many things. but here is one thought. If you like to do paperweights that look like cupcakes.Take a cupcake wrapper, make a small ball of aluminum with stones inside shape it about the size of your wrapper and use glue to put it in the wrapper then put your paper clay in a plastic bag, poke a small whole in the corner of the bag and use it for piping on top of the "cupcake base",pipe, decorate and you have a cupcake paperweight

[simplekidscrafts]

@milkmaniacful or you can send it to me LOL Just kidding!

[drianmac10]

can i eliminate my hands as tools???

[simplekidscrafts]

@drianmac10 yes, you can use things like toothpicks, toothbrush, etc as tools, hand tools are only needed if you do this for selling for the most part. I myself have made several of my own tools. The real basic tool you will need is a small knife to cut small pieces of clay, but even that one you can replace with one of those hand held teeth cleaning floss tools.
