[@arealworm]

We make very different things with clay (and use different clays) but your attitude towards your creations has really helped me to be less "machine" like with my creations and embrace the little mistakes and quirks that happen along with the handmade process. Thank you!

[@kellyratliff3473]

Thank you for the great ideas for Air dry clay crafts.

[@ZarpeParadise]

Super smart, sharp and simple! Bonus! Thank You!

[@JustMisFitz]

Christmas day as a kid I would make my dad an ashtray with DAS modelling clay Great gift.

[@ViKee010]

Air dry clay is the best for low stress crafts. These are so cute!! Merry Christmas. 🤟🏼🤍

Love it love it!!!!

[@suecox2308]

I've just bought some DAP air dry clay because I thought it looked like fun, without anything in particular in mind, and now I know what to make with it!

[@pamelastretton7394]

I think this is an fabulous way to use air dry clay, I am a newbie at this and to hear someone with the same accent as me is awesome, I live in the US and don't hear it very often, love the video, definitely will subscribe to your channel, air dry clay is the most fun I have had in ages.

[@mandycook9037]

Dear Claire I always stay right to the end. Its like sitting in a friends kitchen having a chat and learning stuff at the same time. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@graminbossier]

I love these. And I love your enthusiasm!! Such a fun video

[@lovecraftwithme]

I literally made a whole stack of Christmas decorations with air dry clay last night. You’re so right, it’s the best zen time ❤❤❤

[@lindagregory3432]

I am loving this idea! I live in the USA, and the air is very dry in the winter! Perfect for air drying anything! Love it❤

[@Sparkyone2u]

😍How fun are those! Thanks for more air dry inspiration, Claire! Kris 🎄

[@amandahill7540]

I love working with clay so much. The gnome one is my favorite! So stinking cute!

[@pmynatt11]

I love these. Will try to get my granddaughter to make some with me.

[@lindabarraza2433]

So cute and I love all your stamps!!! So fun!!!

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Love the simplicity of these Claire.

[@kimbanta5719]

well you have opened my eyes to a whole new world of air dry clay!!

[@bendietrees]

Oh what a cute idea! This year I got the idea to decorate gifts with pampas grass accents and was trying to figure out what to use as a tag and I can make these and add their name wit alphabet stamps too!

[@MisterTee2010]

Amazing as always Claire. Great video, thank you for sharing. Love and God Bless. 🤗😘💖🙏

[@kungfumanda724]

I love the gnomes but the one with the stockings is still my favourite 🥰 Great video and a really good idea, thank you 😊

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

Awww, these are really cute.

[@susanwalters8891]

Love these Claire. I've used the same air-dry clay and I rolled some lace over the top and it made a lovely pattern. X

[@karenlynn6860]

Anyone would be thrilled to receive something so pretty, and the fact that you made it, just adds that much more. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!!🎄

[@pameladalton2457]

I do love your cheerful personality! Thank you for making my day brighter. God bless

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

I love air dry clay. Those are gorgeous.

[@jenniehawkins9998]

Love the gift tag ornaments. I gotta try this!

[@dianeyoung2914]

Never thought of using my card stamps on air dried clay! These were lovely. I have just made one tree decoration for my niece for her babies first christmas but used one of those rollers to emboss it.

[@deborahaminogue4196]

Hi Claire. Just found your channel and subscribed. I never thought of using stamps. They are really nice. The revelation was that I can sand the dried clay! Duh! Didn't even think of doing that. I am going to try the gnomes at some stage. Very sweet. Thanks for the videos. Watching from the Republic of Ireland.

[@patmclucas3347]

You had so much fun. Good therapy for all. Hello from Alabama USA.

[@CraftybyToni]

Oh wow babes these are so simple but such beauty in simplicity 😍😍 absolutely love them and they look perfect unpainted would look gorgeous on any tree ❤❤

[@oltreloscrapdimari]

Bellissima idea, grazie!🤩

[@winniepeg9869]

New to air dry clay and new to your channel too. How refreshing to hear a British accent!

[@LoveAngelLA]

I been making air dry stars and snowflakes with silver gold and other colors of metal foils. I am in love with making them.

[@IrishAnnie]

You’re very inspiring! Thank you so much for this tutorial!! These are all very cute and would make great gifts!!❤❤❤❤

[@sherrigriffin8891]

[@paulinebradford4823]

[@pamelaconkin1361]

So much fun!

[@nnewsome338]

These are lovely 😍 Me, my 8yr old son, my neice and sister in law all sat around my kitchen table and did these yesterday afternoon. We all loved it! The kids will remember doing it and think we will make it a tradition, and me and my sister in law enjoyed aswell! It was actually relaxing, we got lost in doing it for 2 hours and wondered where the time had gone! X

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Ohhhh this is incredible .. im so glad you had the same relaxing experience as I did .. it really is a great one for the whole family xx My Nieces are like 19, 17, 15 and 14 and we still do Clay Decorations every year alongside our GingerBread houses ... its been our tradition since they were tiny. Its totally worth having that annual family time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MicheleHappyBunny]

Claire! You're a genius! This has given me the perfect solution to my quandary I was having with my memorial piece I'm about to start making! I will be using die cutters that I picked up from the Range earlier, with clay to add detail to the finished piece now! You never fail to inspire! Thank you again! Xxx

[@antonietta2874]

Love this idea!! Super cute!! 😊

[@heianwoman]

So beautiful

[@vmc9644]

Love air dry clay iv used it for applique on furniture and to French shabby chic old picture frames, vases ect to make them more ornate..and at the weekend my granddaughter who is 4 sat and made some Christmas baubles out of clay for her mum and daddy and her sister she loved it...👍

[@kymmcmaster1522]

Gorgeous

[@janetcorry1501]

[@DianasYTChannel]

These came so cute, Claire. I’ll have to make some as gifts this year. I just got a new block of clay, too. 😁

[@alisoncoomber3698]

Love them all Claire ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@veronicataylor2155]

Great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dorothymoore2859]

Absolutely love these and the white ribbon makes them look exquisite

[@cansarahdiyit]

I love the stockings!! I think I would like to see them painted?!?! ❤❤ see you Monday 🤗

[@juliestoker5909]

Perfect! I need tags to stitch to each stocking! Adding 2 stockings this year...an easy way to always be able to make name tags as more are needed!

[@wendyporter1093]

So cute!! I’m a stamper and fairly new to air dry clay, but I love using it!!! It takes the stress right out!! 😊❤

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thankyoooo xx ohhhh doesn't it just 😍😍😍 so relaxing

[@4614Maria]

Sono meravigliosi!!! Ho gradito molto questo video, anche per la tua umiltà e simpatia 😁 ho Das e timbri in silicone, proverò sicuramente! Grazie!

[@suze7268]

Congrats on the subscriber count! I've only just found you today, but your enthusiasm & lovely outlook along with your gorgeous creations have me subbed straight away 🙂 So glad to have found you!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyyy Suze ... thank you so much xxx ❤️❤️❤️ That means a lot xx

[@moonbeamsanddragonflies]

Love your videos! I did this last weekend and you are right…so relaxing to make air dry clay ornaments with DAS clay!

[@Shinyred-921]

Lovely and adorable gift tags. I use oven liner that helps with the clay not sticking to surface. I made 300+ ornament type figures using the same liner and the liner is still in excellent condition. I get plenty of mileage on this one sheet for other uses too. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@universalsoldier2293]

Great idea! Our Christmas theme was candyland, so we used a ton of air-dry clay for our cookies, cake pops, marshmallows, and other desserts. First real time playing with clay. It was a lot of fun, but was a bit put off by the texture of the Crayola Air-Dry Clay we used. Took a bunch of days to dry, too, but project turned out better than we dreamed. Our favorites were the different types of swirl pops and the gingerbread men.

[@art_by_amber]

So so so nice the new video. I made this with my granddaughter 🥰

[@CobwebCottage]

Hello Claire - new subscriber here. The Gnomes are lots of fun, but I love the Christmas Stockings most of all. *Tip for moving air dry clay* Try using a cheap, very thin egg toss .... you know the ones - you use them to turn your eggs over in the frying pan. I think they're actually called a fish slice - but I've only ever used them for tossing eggs. Make sure it's a thin one which you can bend the 'blade' in your hand. Then it will help you get the clay off your glass work top. Great video ~ Cobs. 👍 EDIT TO ADD I can't find the video you refer to, which you say you made last year - about embossing onto air dry clay. You could give me the link to the actual video, as the link in your description take me to all your air dry videos, and there are tons of those, and it would take me months to get through them all in the hope of finding the video you're talking about! Many thanks, Claire! x

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy Cobs thankyou so so much that is actually genius ! I have 2 egg slices so I will definitely try those thankyou so much for subbing ❤️❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHzPY6mOrK-ciKc Yesss the video is this one .. xx I ho0e you like it x

[@Spiceyspiney]

This idea is so lovely 😍

[@Enjoythepour]

This is another cool creation. I love this idea! Thank you for sharing! Congratulations on 75K as well.

[@angelabrown1992]

I've been looking at a package of air dry clay for months!!! It was on sale and I knew something was in there!! I LOVE THESE!! And it just bumped up my gift list...lol These are awesome. Thank you soooo much for the inspiration, and what you share with the world!! I happened onto your channel a few weeks ago and LOVE what you give us....true artist!! 💜💜💜💜

[@sallymccornack2800]

Absolutely brilliant idea which I will definitely be doing this week. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank yooo Sally ❤️❤️

[@sugargmum4517]

These look great Claire 🤩😍

[@marleybedford8628]

Get a piece of old X-ray plastic. That is what we were told to use for smoothing plastic icing for cake decorating before all the fancy utensils came into being. Great video, ta. Cheers

[@BeeWhistler]

Neat idea, but I’d put something underneath like parchment to lift it when you want to move it. And I’ve played a little with air dry clay but only some cheap stuff. And no, do not put them on wood, it’s porous. They would become part of the wood. And they really should be sealed at the end, even with something matte. Not sure what to use to do that on air dry clay but since the stuff can be rehydrated you want to try and protect it.

[@danyellerobinson5940]

A cheap 18 x 18 ceramic tile works great for a work and drying space

[@CricketsBay]

Red Rocking Bird tested a bunch of sealers for air dry clay. I think matte Mod Podge worked best.

[@georgiastewart4479]

🦌My favorite is the reindeer. They are all so good! You made me laugh - eating a biscuit with your clay hands LOL! Thanks for sharing these goodies, and Happy Holidays

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank yoooo Georgia ❤️❤️ any excuse to eat biscuits lol I'm there x so glad you like these xz

[@laviniajohnson9210]

So glad I found this vudeo. I have been sitting looking at 2 packs of clay for nearly a year! Now you have inspired me and Christmas Day I know what I will be doing. Have subscribed. Happy Chrustmas.

[@traceymahoney5258]

Hi love your video, you enthusiasm is infectious. I was watching a different air clay video and they used mesh drying racks and apparently they dry quicker. I’m going to try it in the next few weeks and use my cooking mesh racks (eg from my grill pan etc) see how that works. Fingers crossed 🤞 Apparently you can buy them, but like you I use what I have around the home. Thanks for you lovely video. Love Tracey. Xx

[@rebeccazephyrin8114]

I always watch to the end x x x

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank yooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@valeriesawczyn7370]

Lovely u love Air dry clay too I made star ones with the grandkids names on xx

[@elizabethturnbull1537]

Hi, such a great video, thank you for the ideas, your samples are beautiful, I’d try and use embossing folders as well as the stamp idea of yours, you can get wonderful patterns in them especially now with the 3D folders, thanks again, take care.

[@lisarendine9791firecracker]

OMG, I love this idea! I'm actually going to try this one, they're adorable!! Thank you! ❤️

[@lynbyard5499]

Missed the live, but love these, added Daz to my craft shopping list 🎄

[@kristinpaquette]

I am so on board with air dry clay and I recently made it look like bronze I am so excited to see how else to use clay to get lux results

[@lizzyanthus1]

Oh my goodness! I have air dry clay and rubber stamps! I am so going to make these! I am so happy to have watched your video, thank you! I've no idea why I didn't think of this before. Again, thanks a bunch! Subbed!

[@andyproctorghoststoriesuk4146]

Brilliant video! Really enjoyed watching. Cheers Claire and happy Christmas!!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks so much Andy .. Merry Christmas to you too 🙌❤️

[@carlaorjohn]

Precious! If you use cling wrap on top of the clay while you press the cookie cutter it will round out the edges for you.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyyy lovely ... oh thank you ! I actually used Cling Wrap on the Polymer pieces I made .. Why didn't I think of that this time ? 🤣🙈🙈 thank yoooooo I will do that for sure xx

[@catherinekenny6500]

Definitely going to give this a go they look great 😍 Xxx

[@MrsKateT]

Love how these look Claire ❤. I did some similar ones Friday night and used my drying rack (same one as yours) to dry out my pieces and they are pretty much cured tonight. You’re right tho, it’s a really relaxing craft, I love how there’s no pressure and if you don’t like it, just roll it back into a ball and start again! 😊x

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Ohhhhh Kate .. my drying rack is like wires .. like metal rods so they wouldn't sit flat 😢😢😢

[@MrsKateT]

@@ClairesCraftyCorner They would, just leave them to harden up a little then they won't get marks on the back. My rack is wires same as yours (from your Amazon store front) 🙂

[@lynnemorton6055]

Hi Claire,phone froze watching live. This is another craft I would love to do. You made it look so easy. I think its the case with air dry clay you can go with what youve got. A brill video as always. They are amazing its hard to pick a favourite, but im gonna give this ago. Thanx so much. Luv to u xo

[@evemercier3460]

Hey Claire! First time I’m actually interested in trying this. Those are super cute!

[@sofiaceleste6299]
