If you are already here, I probably don’t need to tell you that clay is a super fun and versatile medium for crafting!
You can mold it into all sorts of shapes and create everything from cute little figurines to functional pottery pieces. Plus, it’s pretty easy to find at most arts and crafts stores. And, the best part is that you don’t need any special skills to work with it – just your hands and a little bit of imagination!
Another cool thing about clay is that it comes in different types, like air-dry, polymer, and traditional kiln-fired clay. Each type has its own unique properties and uses, so you can choose the one that best fits your project.
So it won’t surprise you to know that we can also use it at this time of the year for Easter and Spring projects and this is what this roundup is all about.
These clay tutorials for polymer clay or Fimo clay are all about Easter and Spring. These clay projects are beyond cute and I have to say my favourite is definitely the bunny egg holder and bunny plate (top left).
The bunny plates would make great candy-free gifts at Easter time as we seem to be spending less and less on chocolates as the children get older. I am tired of handing out leftover Easter eggs for Halloween.

Some generic ideas for using clay in Easter projects
If none of the other ideas are your thing, here are some generic ideas to what to create!
- Easter egg ornaments: You can create colorful Easter egg ornaments with polymer clay by shaping the clay into egg shapes and then decorating them with paint or markers. Add a ribbon or string to hang them up, and you’ll have a festive decoration to brighten up your home!
- Flower jewelry: Polymer clay is perfect for making jewelry, and spring is the perfect time to make flower-themed pieces. You can create your own flower beads or charms by molding the clay into different shapes and then baking them according to the package instructions. Then, string them onto a necklace or bracelet for a unique and colorful accessory.
- Bunny figurines: Bunnies are a classic Easter symbol, and you can create your own cute and quirky bunny figurines with polymer clay. Use different colors to create different patterns and textures, and add small details like whiskers or a tail to make them extra adorable.
- Springtime magnets: You can use polymer clay to make small magnets in the shape of flowers, birds, or other springtime symbols. Simply mold the clay into the desired shape, add any details you like, and then bake and glue a magnet onto the back. These magnets are perfect for displaying on your fridge or other magnetic surfaces.
