Hi Sheryl, good question. You only need a small amount of a few different colors to make each handprint craft. One multi-colored pack of polymer clay should work, as long as the children you are working with don’t all want to use the same exact colors! Most polymer clay is available in multiple colors in different amounts, so a variety pack with several colors should be enough clay. There are a few types of polymer clay I recommend in the handprint ring bowl craft supplies above. Choose one of the packs with a bit more clay to be sure you have enough.

Hi Michelle, great question! I’ve never tried it, but I don’t see why not? The smell of clay cooking isn’t great–so make sure you cook them in in a well ventilated area.

Hi Ana, great question! No, in my experience, the polymer clay does not shrink after baking the ring bowl and jewelry dish craft. The handprint hardens but can be fragile. Handle with care!

Thank you!

Great Question Brynn!

I have not tried it, so I’m not sure. The consistency of Mod Podge is a bit thin compared to the glaze made for polymer clay, but yes… I think it would work just fine. If you try it, come on back and share if it works, thanks!

Hello Sue! I’m so sorry for the delayed response. We have been busy with the holidays! You can spray them to protect them, but it is not necessary. They are fragile, so a spray varnish just may help!
