Products from polymer clay

Handwork (hand-made) has always been appreciated. This is a way to get something unique, creative – something that no one else has. The most common material for creating handmade products is polymer clay. We already wrote how to make such material at home (see Business on polymer clay).

However, you can not only make polymer clay and sell it as a separate product, but you can also create various things from this material. From it you can make decorative ornaments (jewelry), key chains, photo frames, Christmas decorations, dolls, figurines and generally any things that can come in handy for creating home comfort.

Polymer clay (plastic) is a soft material based on polyvinyl chloride. It is initially plastic and soft, so it can be molded from it like from plasticine. When the product is given the desired shape, it is heated, due to which it hardens and becomes hard. Some types of material harden without heating, just under the influence of air. When creating things, you can immediately use colored clay or just paint them after manufacturing, when they harden. Any acrylic paint will easily fall on it. If the crafts are not subjected to frequent blows and other damage, then they can retain their “presentation” for a very long time. Continue reading →
