How To Get Creative With Sculpey Air Dry Clay

by blewis | Aug 9, 2024 | Easter/Spring, Everyday DIY, Holiday | 24 comments

We’re always getting creative here at The Shabby Tree and I thought it would be fun to get creative with some air dry clay. There’s so many different ways to use Sculpey air dry clay and I have a fun idea using a silicone mold with it.
The supplies that I’ll be using are listed down below.
1. Sculpey air dry clay from Walmart
2. Silicone mold from Amazon
3. Small terra cotta pot
4. Large plastic ornament from the Dollar Tree
5. E6000 spray adhesive
6. Acrylic paint by apple barrel (Kelly Green, Burnt Umber, Nutmeg Brown and Kings Gold)
7. Treasure Gold metallic paint
8. Paint brush
9. Plastic cutting tool
10. Small rolling pin
You can find this silicone mold on Amazon by clicking my Amazon store front down below.

I placed some of the Sculpey clay onto the silicone mold. Once I had the clay onto the mold I then used a rolling pin to smooth it out.
The clay should pop right out of the mold as shown in photo above.
I used a plastic cutting tool to cut the excess clay off.
I did the same process for the leaves and stem.
The next step is to add the air dry clay pieces to the large plastic ornament.
I glued the plastic ornament onto a small terra cotta pot.
I added some of the E6000 spray adhesive to the back side of the clay pieces.
Once you have the air dry clay pieces in place you’ll want to set it aside to dry.
I decided to use Treasure Gold metallic paint on the plastic ornament.
This was so much fun to make and will look great any where in your home. I hope you’ll get creative and give this a try.

    I will have to order the molds from Amazon, I wonder if you painted the center brown instead of white would it look like a brown eyed Susan? Hahaha my Dad used to grow them in his garden.

    I Love the air dry clay, I need to get some molds. Do you spray or can you spray like a clear sealer on this type of craft?

    Have you ever used Mold A Wood for a project like this? It would be perfect for a project like this because it stays flexible after it dries so you can adhere it without worrying about accidentally altering the shape when you glue it on.
