Best Clays for Altered Precious Moments
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- I've been altering Precious Moments figurines into new characters using clay and paint. Many of you have asked what clay I use, and I'm here to answer that question. I'll show you the three different air-dry clays I use, walk you through their features, show you how they perform wet and dry, and tell you when, how, and why I use each one for different applications.

It's 2024.
Facebook group brought me here.
You're awesome.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom
Welcome to the group and to this channel! Glad you enjoyed the video.
This was so helpful. I’m literally standing in Michael’s watching this because I didn’t know what was the correct clay to buy. Thanks so much 😊😊
Haha! Glad it was helpful! Can’t wait to see what you create 😀
I honestly have never seen a better review of a product on RUclips before. You covered every question and organized this so well.
Thank you so much! I’ve learned a lot as I’ve used these clays and wanted to share with everyone 😀
This was such a great and helpful video! Thank you so much for sharing your supplies and techniques with everyone! You are the best and your creations are amazing!
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed and thanks for being a fan. Be sure to tag us when you post what you create so we can see it!
Now I want to make altered moments!
Give it a try! And let us know how it goes 😀
Polymer clay smooths out just fine and just as easy, you just need to use alcohol or solvent.
Of course it isn’t going to smooth out with just your finger, it’s a different type of clay. It’s made from pvc + a softener. You use the alcohol to smooth polymer out exactly how you use water to smooth out air dry.
They both have their pros and cons and applications that work better. But both would also work equally as fine with something like this.
That’s great information, thank you for sharing! I really like working with my fingers but I will look into polymer clay more and try the alcohol you suggested. Thanks!!
Thank you for your hard won knowledge! I can't tell you how many times I've gone into a project blind and had to make each mistake myself. I love RUclips for this. I can learn from others' trial and error without doing so myself! I just went to an estate sale and got 45 precious moment ornaments from 80's and 90's for 10 bucks. They aren't my cup of tea, but I love art and figured I'd see what I could do. I love the goth look and they'll be cute that way!
So happy to share my lessons learned with everyone! And that’s an amazing score of PMs. Plenty to practice with and not worry about messing them up 😀
Thanks for this. I got the model magic white clay recently for my vintage barbie accessories and such.... and was hesitant but now im ready to go❤.😊
Glad I could help!
This was so informative. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😀
That’s was a great review very helpful thank you !
So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Very informative! Thanks for the additional tip on the varnish you use. I have two questions. Have you ever mixed another medium, say lace, to your clay for additional texture? Do you have a favorite paint to use on altered moments?
Thanks so much! I have never tried mixing another medium in for texture... what an interesting idea. Would love to hear more about how you plan to use that technique.

This art style is amazing who ever thought of this is genius. I can’t wait to go buy stuff and start my own. I have a couple of questions. Does acrylic or enamel paint work best. Do you need to seal the piece before painting. You mentioned a sealer close to the start of the video. Can you add the porcelain sculpt on top of the regular and if so does the regular need to be completely dried. I am an art teacher and an artist myself (although I seem to have little time to do my own work). Excited to get materials and try this. I work a lot with ceramics and it would be impossible to add clay and refire the pieces. This came up on my facebook feed and every piece is I have seen are adorably incredible
This idea has been around for years, but it's new to me. Isn't it fun?
I use a multi-surface acrylic paint because it's water based and sticks great to the surface with no priming needed. The sealer I mention is for coating the paint/clay after the piece is done. (see link in description for both products)
I have never tried adding one clay over another, but definitely wait until the first is completely dried, because they will shrink as they dry.
So glad you found us on Facebook. Can't wait to see you share your creations in our group!
I have 2 questions about the clay. First, how long do you have to let the clays dry before you can paint the pieces? Second, you mentioned that the model magic didn't stick to the figurines so when you use it to make things, how do you stick them to the piece, like the witch hat on the witch figurine? Do you use glue? If so what type is best?
The dry time depends on how thick the clay is. I leave small/thin pieces a few hours and large/thick pieces overnight. I use E6000 glue to attach the dried pieces. Thanks for watching!
How do I cut a part off the PM without breaking it??
We have a video that shows you three ways to remove parts of the piece. Check it out here:

Do you have a video for the grinch and max
We have a short video for that one here: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLrw9pyf/
Would any of these be feasible for outdoor use?
I have not tested any of them outdoors, but my gut reaction would be no. MAYBE the Sculpey Porcelain, but definitely not the other two.
