Polymer Clay
FIMO, cutters and tools for earrings, charms and miniatures baked in a home oven.
Polymer clay is colour you can bake. Condition a FIMO block until it is soft, cut matching earring shapes, bake at the packet temperature and add findings. That is a sellable pair in one evening. FIMO Soft is the UK starter brand because it conditions easily. Sculpey Premo is firmer and better once you care about sharp edges. A cutter set is the difference between ‘handmade’ and ‘looks like a product’.

View on AmazonQuick tips
- •Condition until the clay bends without cracking. Cold clay looks rustic for the wrong reason.
- •Bake on ceramic tile or card, never directly on a wire rack.
- •Follow the pack temperature. Hotter is not stronger — it scorches.
- •Cut pairs together so earrings actually match.
Common questions
Do I need a special oven?
No. A domestic oven at the temperature on the FIMO pack is enough. Use an oven thermometer if yours runs hot.
FIMO Soft or Premo?
Soft for first projects and kids. Premo when you want thin earrings that do not snap.
Is baked clay waterproof?
It is water-resistant enough for earrings. Seal if the piece will live in a steamy bathroom.
