Polymer Clay Holiday Gift Guide – Be In It !

by

Ilysa and Kira of Polymer Clay Productions are calling for entries to put in a Holiday gift guide featuring polymer clay artists. The entries will be shared with viewers in a Polymer Clay Productions podcast & TV episode. It’s a wonderful way to get people thinking about buying handmade polymer clay items for this holiday season. It’s never too early to promote your work and this is a great way to get your work “out” there for the public to see.

They are hoping to get enough entries for the following categories: jewelry, housewares, wearables (not jewelry), table top centerpieces, ornaments, hostess gifts and cards. If anyone has any suggestions for other categories you are welcome to contact Ilysa.

If you would like to participate in the gift guide, send in 2-3 photos each of 3-5 different items that you would like to promote to [email protected] . Please include a link to your website or Etsy shop. She will use as many as she can.

She is also looking for artists who want to send actual product to be seen on the show, these items will NOT be returned but will be used as holiday prizes to audience members, you will receive a link to your shop and if you send a bio we may use some info from there as well. If your item is used on the show we will give you credit in the show credits so that the listeners & viewers can find your shop. You can also include your business cards and any other info about the products you send. They have around 30,000+ listeners and viewers come to their site every month not including that they are on You Tube, Google Video, I Tunes, Yahoo video, Blip TV, Flickr Video and about 300+ other places. They are listened to and watched around the world.

Ilysa will need the photos and products in the next month to give her time to organize everything. Anyone sending products should get it to her as soon as possible too. Please let her know if you are interested by sending an e-mail to [email protected] .

Please send product entries (not photos) to :

Etsy Feature – DIY Face Planter Pottery Template

Quirky, fun, and full of personality—this DIY Face Planter Pottery Template is the kind of project that makes everyone smile. Planters are already a favorite for potters because they’re so versatile, but when you add a playful face into the mix? You’ve got a conversation starter, a gift idea, and a cheerful addition to your home all in one.

What It Is

This template guides you step-by-step in slab-building a face-shaped planter. You’ll get the form sorted out easily, leaving all the creativity in the decorating stage—think glasses, freckles, funny noses, bright lips, or even exaggerated cartoon features. It’s essentially a blank canvas with character built right in.

Why It’s Fun and Functional

  • Customizable: Each planter can be as unique as the person making it—no two faces will ever be the same. 
  • Beginner-Friendly: Templates take away the guesswork, letting you focus on the fun. 
  • Gift-Worthy: Perfect as a handmade present for plant lovers or anyone who loves whimsical décor. 
  • Practical: A planter you’ll actually use, not just display. 

Creative Ideas for Your Planter

  • Add bright glazes to create bold personalities. 
  • Use matte neutrals for a more modern, sculptural look. 
  • Give each face a “hairstyle” with trailing plants like string of pearls, ferns, or succulents. 
  • Try a family set—different faces for different family members or moods. 

Why You’ll Love This Project

This planter template is more than just pottery—it’s playful art. The finished piece brings life and laughter into any space, and because you can customize it endlessly, it’s the kind of project you’ll want to make again and again.

You can find it here: DIY Face Planter Pottery Template on Etsy.

This post is part of my Etsy Feature series, where I highlight clay templates, tools, and creative projects that make pottery fun, approachable, and full of charm. This one is especially delightful because it gives you permission to play and be silly with your clay.
