When I was in Taiwan last year, we had the chance to make cute miniature clay figures. I wanted to make some more of them but I didn’t have clay. Then it hit me—the Simply Pressed Clay (item # 130685) would be perfect! The best part is that I can color the clay using Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills to create any color I want.

These little bears are super-easy to make. Just form the clay into simple shapes to build the bear. There is no glue holding the bears together—the clay simply sticks to itself. If you find that the clay has already dried a little before you put your critter together, a quick swipe of an Aqua Painter will do the trick to make the pieces stick together.

These bears are so cute! They would be perfect for a little one’s birthday, a baby shower, or “just because.” The colors in the Sweet Dreams Designer Series Paper(item # 137782) complimented the colors of the bears for an easy banner that could be customized for any occasion with the Skinny Mini Alphabet Stamp Set (item # 133665). So, what critter are you going to make with Simply Pressed Clay?
