    The absolute BEST silicone mat to buy for the clay (and other stuff) are the pastry mats, because not only do things not stick to it, but it has a huge circle in the center with a bunch of smaller circles, so you can roll out and measure an exact size plus it has measurements all up and down the sides. I only paid like $5 on Amazon for it and it's pretty big (maybe 18" x 25" I think...) It's super helpful though ❤

    I have not used clay since I was younger. I did ceramics then. I'm very interested in what to use and I'm older and have hand strength problems and I will be buying some molds next week on Amazon. On farm fresh designs I saw a fairy mold and I found it on Amazon as well as some trimmings molds from prima. This is why I need to use something easy on my hands. From what I can see the paper clay may be best for me. I'm glad you did this video because I'm more educated now concerning clay. Thank you Brandi

    I love the clay. I used some last Halloween to make ropes & snakes for my decorative Hocus Pocus BOOOK for my front door! The clay & paint held up to sun & heat from the evening sun, which gets extremely hot! The color of the “animal” on the packaging is usually the color of the clay!

    Oh no! The door! Ive also heard... 😂... that if you notice your clay is drying too quickly, you should mist your project with water & put it in an unsealed bag to slow down the drying process because fast drying can cause cracks 😢❤ Love your projects ❤

    I appreciate this video so much, girlie! I may have seen this type of clay in Dollar Tree once in all the years I've been going there. And it was the same color as yours. I know it comes in different colors because I remember seeing another RUclipsr using the color white (and a couple of others) a long time ago. And, although it doesn't specify the color in words, the picture tells which color clay is in the package. Thanks for the tutorial and infomation about this clay! ❤

    I used this clay to make butterflies to add on a metal flowerpot that I gave my Mom. I painted each one with bright colorful acrylic paint. I gave it to her on Mother’s Day and she still has it sitting on her front porch and is enjoying it.
    They did have to dry overnight. And one wing did break off but I think it was my fault because I made it to thin where the wing attached to the body. But I just used E6000 to fix it and I used it to attach the butterflies to the pot. 😊

    TY Brandi for the demo and all the info. Myself, I won't use this clay now. The only type of clay so far that I have used and like is the Crayola brand. Yeah, I should prolly try other brands, but like you dear, I work with a budget. I love watching your vid's and enjoy them and you. You are great!!
