Yes, you can use a paper clip as a substitute for eye pins when creating polymer clay items. Simply straighten out the paperclip and insert it into your clay creation before baking. Just ensure the paper clip is fully covered by the clay to securely hold it in place.
it's imposible to make a eraser from polymer clay because the clay needs to be softer if u do it wilste its still soft it will just be like tipex and go over the page/writing when it's hard it will just rip the page :)
The temperature and time varies for different brands of polymer clay. Always read the instructions on the package and do not bake for longer than the instructions tell you to. Let the piece cure either in the oven or take it out. Let it sit for a while so the colours intensify and deepen. This process also lets the polymer clay harden and to be stronger.Fimo - Bake at 230°F/110°CBake for about 30 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.Sculpey - Bake at 275°F/ 130°CBake for about 20 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.Studio by Sculpey - Bake at 275°F/130°CBake for about 30 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.Kato Clay - Bake at 300°F/150°Bake for about 10-15 minutes
Sculpting polymer clay is just like using play-doh. You use your hands to create shapes and put them together to make creatures. If you buy a small pasta machine, that helps get the clay into flat sheets. After it is used for clay, it cannot be used for food. I would recommend buying a blade, because a blade gives you an untapered edge for cutting the clay. I would also recommend buying an acryllic roller, but only if you are serious about this hobby. An acryllic roller is smooth, and is quite helpful for all sorts of things. There are many, many books on sculpting clay. Some are for kids, others for more experienced sculpters. The books show just what kind of variety can be made with polyemer clay. Don't forget to wash you hands well once you are done. Polymer clay is NOT GOOD FOR EATING!!!!! Have fun!
You should read the package but most of them cook at 265-275 F. But you can also just turn it to a temp. Around 250-300 F. And just watch it.... Sometimes it releases a smell but it's harmless to people.... But birds on the other hand.... keep them away.... they shouldn't be near the oven anyways.... also go on youtube.com and type in "polymer cupcakes angeladivine" she has TONS of them.... they are amazazing and she has tutorials on how to make them... Happy Baking :)
You can make various items out of polymer clay, such as jewelry, figurines, charms, keychains, and home decor items like coasters or decorative bowls. The possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination and creativity.
I am not sure what you mean about make polymer clay with cornstarch. Polymer clay is a clay already made. You can use cornstarch to avoid other objects like stamps from sticking to the clay when you make prints on clay. You just brush it on with a soft brush. It does not harm the clay, and after curing you can simply rinse it off with water.
If the question means to ask whether polymer clay would make good TOOLS for chocolate sculpting, the answer would be "probably not." Polymer clay does not make fine points or sharp edges or have the strength needed for chocolate sculpting.
No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens. Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat. polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven. YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.
You could, but I wouldn't reccommend it. Play dough can break easily because it's not as sturdy as polymer clay.
You make anything you want then put in a eyepin on it. Hope this helps!
To fix dry polymer clay, you can try kneading in a small amount of clay softener or baby oil until it becomes pliable again. Avoid adding too much liquid as it can make the clay too soft.

To revive hard and dry polymer clay, you can try softening it by kneading it with your hands or using a clay softener. Heating it slightly in the microwave or oven can also help make it more pliable. Be careful not to overheat the clay, as it can release harmful fumes.
take a block of clay and slice it thin then in the middle cut a rectangle then on the top and bottom make a hole for the screws. then bake
