Top Tip
Keep your work area clean and wipe your hands regularly with wet wipes to remove any colour from your fingers. Once polymer clay has been hardened and cooled the surface can be varnished or painted with acrylics. Brush acrylic paint over a textured surface for an antique or distressed effect. Small details or writing can be added onto baked clay with a permanent pen. Hardened polymer clay can be smoothed with fine sandpaper. Save left over clay, even the smallest pieces can be re-used just store left over clay in a container with a lid!
