- Hi guys!
In this week's video i am comparing #airdryclay to #polymerclay and telling you side by side what are the pluses and minuses of each of them. I am more familiar with air dry clay as i have done a few projects now using this material. However this is my first time using polymer clay and i actually really loved the whole process. They are very different to each other,overall but you can obtain the same results with both of these materials as you will see in the video. I used acryla gouache to paint these tiny keychains that i made and used my gouache gloss varnish to seal everything in :D.
I hope you will find this video useful and let me know in the comments your thoughts.

I really find this video so helpful for someone like me who doesn't have an oven to bake the clays with. Thank you so much!!
you can also color air dry clay yourself! i use air dry clay to make miniatures, and use a drop or two of acrylic paint kneaded into each clay ball creates great colors. It won't be as vivid, but you can easily customize the colors you want without affecting the qualities of air dry clay.
You can let your piece dry and use a damp sponge on the air dry clay to smooth it, and cut down on the mess sanding creates.
As someone just starting out getting into clay this was pretty helpful
problem with polymer clay is you need to bake them and if its the oven youre using for food clean it afterwards. This alone deters me from doing polymer clay.
Just add acrylic paint to your air dry clay 🤯 now you’ve got a variety of colors 🎨
Im actually still indecisive with my airdry clay. People ive watched seems to show that polymer is better in all aspect, but upon seeing your video. Yeah, i guess you are right. They both have their own pros and cons but I do feel like I a really am more comfortable with air dry clay. Thank you.
I think the base layer of paint would go a hell of a lot more quickly if you got spraypaint primer which comes in lots of different colors and did the whole lot at once outside on a piece of cardboard. It can also be sanded between layers too if needed. Just make sure not to do it on a cold or humid day and apply thin layers.
I'm glad you mentioned sanding the air dry clay in this video, that's all I really needed to know. I don't need my item to be durable for a long time, but I do need to sand it! Wasn't sure if air dry clays even got hard enough for that. My clay experience is solely with stoneware clay
Clay Charms are nice but when clay charms were a big thing about 20 years ago on Flickr when everyone wanted to make cupcake rings we didn’t realize how quickly the Polymer clay charms will crumble if you live in humid environment. This is even if you’ve painted a varnish on them.
This is such perfect timing, I was about to search for this kind of video and then it was uploaded - thank you! 😊
Hey, I'm so thankfull that you created this..
What an interesting and fun tutorial. I have both kinds on hand but haven't tried them yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
WOW this is exactly the video i needed!! Thank you for being so thorough! And the keychains are sooo cute!!!
LOVE!!!! So cute! Great video. I had to watch it more then once to read everything you put in the screen and then again to just watch you create. Loved it! Thanks
It looks so beautiful. Thank you for useful information that you’ve provided. Now i can easily decide which clay to use for earring making
Thank you for that. Very helpful . One big advantage of air dry clay is that it is not plastic and therefore more eco friendly.
Thank you for doing the comparison. I found it very helpful.
Your so underrated ;( Luckily I discovered you today, so yes I shall sub :D
I actually switched from air dry to polymer clay, because it holds the tiniest details so well, is much more durable, doesn't shrink, and is a dream to work with in comparison to the soft air dry clay. I think it really depends on the type of project you're making.
