Cell Phone Holders from Polymer Clay

February 7, 2017 by Elaine Robitaille

This clever gadget holder is made from air dry clay. The textures and paints are infinitely variable so you can make these holders to suit whatever decor or recipient you’d like. You could do this with oven bake polymer clay although I’d probably end up using a layer of aluminum foil for a core to cut down on how much clay you’d have to use… DAS air dry clay is much cheaper than polymer clay.

Smaller versions of this make great business card holders for your craft show booth!Looking for air-drying clay? We highly recommend Das Air dry clay, we have been using this product for over 30 years. Check out their Das White Air drying clay and their Terracotta Air drying clay version for a natural pottery feel. For larger crafts we recommend buying your air drying clay in bulk

Please , kindly I want help
This is my first time I will use polymer clay , well my project is to draw dotting mandala on the clay as a costers , so after I bake the clay then I’ll draw on it with acrylic paints then I’ll coat it with a glaze
My question is , is the coster will handle the heat like when you will put cup of hot coffee or tea on it or what ???
Please I need advice
Note that Iam using “FIMO” clay and gloss varnish

Ghada, it should be fine but I would do a small test on a little piece of clay first before you do a big project.

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer

Contemporary Craft is thrilled to be hosting POP! – Perspectives on Polymer June 25-29, 2022. A five-day celebration of contemporary work in polymer, the event will have something for everyone who loves polymer clay. POP! will feature four workshops along with virtual talks by some of the best polymer artists in the country, an exhibition of small works in polymer, and a curated feature in the Store. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, June 25, 6-8 PM, and will be free and open to the public.

POP!’s focus on workshops and the materiality of polymer makes this boutique event more than just a conference. Each participating artist was selected for their unique perspectives on polymer and the exciting ways they are moving the medium forward. The featured instructor for the event is Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, whose pioneering techniques in polymer have made him one of the most respected artists in the field. His jewelry and sculptural objects have been shown in many national invitational exhibitions, and his works are represented in numerous private collections, galleries and museums.
