I realised that some questions came up a lot in the comment section under my clay tutorials so I created this video to cover all the useful tips on air-dry clay! Air-dry clay is a fantastic alternative to polymer clay because you do not need to bake anything, it's cheaper and more versatile. You can use paint to mix almost any colour you need and this is exactly what I do when making Maqaroon jewellery.
For those who haven't been following me on Instagram, I have just found an office/studio for Maqaroon! This is really exciting because I can start building a team to help me manage the online shop thus giving me more time to focus on TH-cam (which I absolutely love doing). But it also means on the short run I will be quite busy and won't be able to upload as often. So please be patient with me in the next few months and keep sharing & supporting the channel ^^!

There is often a lot of confusion in terminology for air-dry clay, not helped by the fact that manufacturers label their packages incorrectly. As a general rule, this is what I use in my videos:
AIR -DRY CLAY (DO NOT BAKE ANY OF THESE)
Paper Clay - This is soft and fluffy clay that uses cellulose (paper) fibers as a base. Popular brands are Mermaid Puffy, Hearty Soft, Fimo Air Light and Crayola Model Magic.
Resin Clay - This is the heavier version of air-dry clay which includes brands like Modena, Grace and Cosmos. It forms a soft tip when pulled apart.
Cold-Porcelain Clay - Technically, CP only applies to clays which use cornstarch as a base and can easily be made at home as well. However CP looks and feels extremely similar to commercial brands of resin clay which is why I often refer to both as the same thing.
OTHER TYPES OF CLAY
Polymer Clay - This are oil-based clays (Fimo, Sculpey etc) which needs baking in order to harden.
2-Part Resin Clay - This is a super strong and very expensive clay created by kneading two parts together (like casting resin). It's mostly used for jewellery making, and not practical for making charms/miniatures.
Ceramic Clay - This is the "slippery/muddy" sort of clay that you probably know from school art class. The air-dry version is very fragile and can break easily. They can be glazed and fired to make stronger ceramics but this process is usually too messy/complicated for everyday DIY.

Don't throw away dry clay! It's still useful as a filler for a larger project - for example, if you are making a cat latte art, you can fill the head part with the dry clay, and cover it with the fresh one. This way you won't waste any material you spent money on.
Naomi Simon EXACTLY
OMG THANK YOU!
Naomi Simon You are a genius!!
THANK YOU!
you can wet it and make it soft again, too
The packages look like chocolate *__*
stare of medusa oh my, now that I think about it, it actually does.
IT DOES!!!....
stare of medusa so I'm not alone it really does look like chocolate
One of them said 'this product cannot be eaten'
Yes the packages looked like chocolates 😂😂
wow.. you really know how to point things out in simplest way... love this.. 😘
This is an EXCELLENT TUTORIAL...
Thank YOU for sharing this.
One of the reasons I love your videos is because I get to hear the crinkly sound of packaging...is that weird? I LOVE IT!
thumbs up for the informative video!
This was the best video I have ever watched on air dry clay. You answered every single question I have completely. Thank you
Air dry Clay is amazing. I actually whipped up my first batch a few days ago. It was so much fun I even made a video. I ended up making some beach style ornaments. Got any tips for cracking? Awesome vid!😊
This still remains one of my fav videos ❤
Brilliant! All the information I needed to get me started.It was great to see the difference in the finished articles. Thanks SO much for doing this video
I really want to get back to sculpting, we can't turn the oven on in summer, so I'm looking into air dry. I feel like air dry will be SO much easier! And I really love how it can just set it out and it'll dry! I think I've found exactly what I needed! 😊💜
This is one of my favorite crafting channels and I love it!!! Thank you so much Maqaroon!!!!:)
This video is really helpful for a beginner like me!!! Thanks for making it!!

All my ASMR peeps that came for the clay and stayed for the sounds ----
--- I see y’all, lol 💆🏻♀️🎧
This is very very helpful :) thank you . I've been deciding on what clay to get and learning how to use it.
This video is satisfying 100%!! 2019??
2022
2023!
Your voice is very calming!! Love it!!
for everyone in the US Model Magic by Crayola is also a paper air dry clay a good substitute if you don't use Amazon or Etsy
It very much is! I've been using it to make small angel sculptures and it really works well. It can be smoothened out with just a bit of water. The only thing about it is that it does dry VERY fast, especially the smaller pieces.
I heard it's garbage.
Thank you I just started to look at the air dry clay and this is very helpful.
This video was so helpful! Thanks.
This was so satisfying
Thank you! This has been so helpful!! 😍🤩

Hi there. I have just joined your channel and I have to say that this info on clay was really helpful! Thanks for making this interesting video today.
I loved it and wished it was twice as long! From a fan in South Wales. UK.
omg love your both your channels,your definitely the slime queen😁
This was a great video!! Now I know stuff about air-dry clay that I did not know about before!
Wow asmr!!!! The asmr for this video is lovely
1:09 OK so I have a question,, i’m trying to make cute little cat decoration for the bows (cuz I’m cosplaying Hiyoko) and I just want to know if paper clay is the right way to do?
@Mizumi Ch. 錦山湖 She probably already cosplayed Hiyoko lol
danganronpa :o
These clays are even kawaii with their fancy packaging! Kind of reminds me of chocolate wrappers. :3 I just got into using polymer clay you are giving me so many ideas!
Thank you so much now I know what clay to buy🍓🍓🍓
That was super helpful!! thank you so much😍
Personally I like polymer clay better because it is stiffer, and i don’t have to worry about it drying out. But, I can still see why some may like air dry clay better.
clay packaging looks like chocolate packaging
This has helped a lot, thank you!
Who else really love to hear the sound of plastic??not the ATTITUDE!!
Do you know the name of the song in the background? I play Alto sax and i play in a jazz band.
Yea

"this is the latte art bear I made 5 months ago" "BEAR in mind" ITS A PUN I THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SPOTTED IT
Jimmy F almost everyone noticed it 😂 (how come when I try to say something it sounds offensive )
Jimmy F I spotted it too

WOW THIS IS SO HELPFUL THANKS

loved your tutorial. Thanks
Thank you so much for this helpful video ❤️
So much fun for all ages!
The little "bunny" (whatever) clay toys are so cute! ♥
This video is really helpful so thank you
That video was really helpful for my paper clay tutorials. I find it as useful as a book.
Thanks so much for this video! This would be a great substitute for polymer clay for me. The baking part of the polyclay always stresses me out, haha! I'll be sure to get some of this clay as soon as I can :D
Thank you so much! this has helped me a million i just bought some hearty white to practice my deco making and was told by some resin based is better etc etc but seeing this has helped a million in understanding the differences and what to do with the clay's i have. Thank you so so much!
Nicky Valentyne Yay so happy to hear that!! It's mostly personal preference, I like the heavier texture of resin for making very small sweet deco charms but I prefer paper clay for larger, kawaii pieces :D. Btw, if you want to try cold porcelain, FimoKawaiiEmotions YT just posted a pretty cool tutorial on how to DIY cold porcelain using only a pot & stove: th-cam.com/video/x4Xg-4ntF4o/w-d-xo.html

Thanks heaps! It helped a lot xox

Thanks a lot :)
Very helpful. Thanks
Thx sm! I was having trouble ❤❤❤
Thank you for this. I had the idea to start making my own hair clips since I don't like the ones I find in stores. I saw that air dry clay was pretty cheap, but I didn't want to get something I'd use wrong. Thank you again!
+MyDogIsYoshi Hi! you're welcome! :D
Thanks for the tips that I never knew
great info, thanks 😊
so helpful!! thanks much :)
You save my day. I aways use polymer clay but when I look at your videos I am very surprised how ari-clay work better then polymer clay. :> good video
This is very helpful
I'm planning to make a cosplay mask with paper clay so this was extremely helpful!
i have been working with polymer clay for a long time but I don't often get the chance to do any projects because my house heats up horribly whenever I use the oven so I can only use it in the winter to bake my projects. This is a problem because I have school in the winter. So when I have time out of school to craft I don't an oven and when I do have an oven i don't have time. I was told about air dry clay by a friend who watches your videos and I had heard of it but I was scared to buy it because there was a lot I didn't know about it. thank you for this video I plan to get some now that I am a little more confident in working with it thanks to you.
It helps me a lot
Very useful video❤
That's very helpful information! Thank you! Where can I find such a wide variety of clay?
I'm so happy that I found your channel! I really want to know where you bought this clay, is there a link for a website or something?
Thank you for making this video! I’ve one question though: I’ve made keychains and small book charms before with paper clay, but i find that over time, the clay part would detach from the metal eye hook that I’ve secured on it, especially with the keychains because they’re more frequently handled compared to the charm bracelet (because i rarely wear the bracelets lol). Any tips on how to properly secure the eye hooks to the paper clay?
I bought some clays from 1127handcrafter. It's amazing! Love it. Thank u for your recommendation.
Thanks Maqaroon.
I have been taking photos of people's fun and cute crafts and art and I want to draw them onto paper on my channel and I hope you maquaroon make more cute crafts so I can turn them into a drawing
love it! :)
Wow, this video is very useful! Thx! :D
