30+ Air Dry Polymer Clay DIY Projects

Air Dry Clay is such an easy to use craft supply. You can create so many amazing things with it. Here are over 30 DIY projects using air dry clay!

 

Air Dry Clay is one of the most versatile and fun craft supplies you can work with, and you can make countless things for you and your home with air dry clay.

It is just like other modeling clays in that you can shape it, cut it, mold it etc, but the big difference with air dry clay is that it only needs to be left in the open air to set and finish. 

Many other modeling clays need to be fired in an oven or kiln for them to be set and finished.  So air dry clay is much easier, and safer, to work with.

You can use it to make decorative and useful items such as clay bowls and wall decor. It is also great for jewelry projects too.  There are so many ways to use air dry clay.

Here are some of my favorite air dry clay DIY projects rounded up here
