Polymer Clay Robots (are awesome)

by

You should take a look at RobotsAreAwesome because, well, robots are awesome. And these ones are made from *polymer clay*. Which just makes them much more awesome. The shop owner, who says her name is HerArtSheLoves, also has a Flickr album chock full of robot goodness.

  2. Anita, you can purchase polymer clay at a craft store if you have any local. In the US and Canada, places like Michaels craft store sells it. You can also buy it online – Polymer Clay Express, Boston Clayworks, Polymer Clay and Joann’s Online are good spots to look. Hope that helps!

  3. I’m setting up my polymer clay website, so I was wondering if you’d review it/promote it here? Tell me what I did right or wrong. I have no money, so I cant pay but I’d appreciate it. Email me ? ^.^ thank you!

  4. I will drop you a line with some of the “interview” questions I usually ask when I highlight people and we should be fine! And no worry – I’m free. If you’d like to buy ad space on this webspace, at some point, I can help you reach the owners.

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.
