♥ 10 Things To Know About Air-Dry Clay! ♥ • 10 Things You Must Kno...
Hi all! This is a video that I've been planning to do for so long, and it's taken such a long time to put together. I debated which brands to try out and decided to go with the most common ones sold in Europe, Asia and the USA. Of course, there are many other DIY paper clay brands out there, and you can use this video as a guide to test them out for yourself. As mentioned, a good clay should have a soft & silky consistency, hold its shape well, easily texturable with a sharp tool and mixes smoothly with acrylic paint.

This video has left me pretty stunned. I've been working with Fimo air light (and Efaplast light for as long as it was available) and I've gotten pretty decent results with both. I'm making small, realistic pet portrait and fantasy figurines and I actually love working with those clays, but now I really want to try the better ones and see how the work flow compares.
You should make a video teaching us how to make the flowers! It seems really fun, though time consuming. Like if you agree!
AshenMaiden Watch her snapchat filter video. She shows how to make it there, hope this helped!
AshenMaiden IT SMELLS HORRIBLE
Your voice is so soft !!!!!😍😍😍😍
That doesn't sound creepy at all (0-0)
yea, i dont know how to explain it but her voice sounds like a smile? XD its really nice

Hey Maqaroon, I hope you're doing well? Thank you for taking the time and so much effort to educate us on The BEST and WORST Air-Dry Clays!!! I really appreciate the amount of time you put into this EXCELLENT video. Thank you so much. Take care and keep on crafting your passions. Peace & Joy :D Love your work.
1SixScaleCrafter EXACTLY what I was going to say!
So for in the future, her name is Joanna, if you want to make some more amazing comments like this!
or you can call her her chinese name which is Shi Shi, its beautiful :)
"If your watching this video your obviously a crafter!"
*backs away slowly*
I don't even know where to buy those japanese clay :/ I've been trying to find paperclay but couldn't find one
(I live in Canada).
Also I never order online 😐
Hi! You should consider starting to shop online because you can often save a lot of money and find really rare things that you can't get in local shops. The only way to get japanese clays in most countries is to order them over Etsy or Amazon
+Maqaroon yeah true :/
I don't really shop online because I seriously don't know how it works.
But thank you for the information ❤️
if you live somewhere that has a daiso, they have relatively good paper clay there :)
+doriosity no sadly :/ I live in Montreal and I searched if there's a Daiso in montreal but there isn't.
Thank you for the information :) if one day I come across a Daiso ,i'll thank you a lot 😄
I get my hearty clay from Amazon

If anyone in England doesn't know where to get some of these clays, if you go into hobby craft, you can find Fimo clay ( around £5-£6) and you can find some of the crayola magic clay in the children craft area. Hope this helps anyone!
And from my experience, the fimo in England is quite good and is not that bad...
Philadelphia Eyelash Thanks!
Hello, My Name Is [ Izzy ] thanks x lol I always go to hobby craft 😂😂 It's like Michaels Target and Walmart all in one English store 😂💖
Thanks, i'm so glad that the fimo here isn't that bad!
You guys need to stop underestimating the community. I think other people *do know* the difference between the clays. Especially when the clay is labelled as "Fimo Air dry clay" 😅 there could be various reasons why the fimo air dry clay didn't work for her, but for him and others. It could've been a bad batch. Who knows.
This video is soooo great! It was really informative and you can tell that you put a lot of work in it. Your english is amazing! And sorry if you've already done that but could you make that kind of video with polymer clay someday?
Thank you so much!! I'm afraid I don't have a lot of experience with polymer clay at all so I can't make videos on those 😅
+Maqaroon Oh, my bad :D
+Maqaroon can I get hearty in England?
you can get it online
+Fashion Kitty k.
Two things with Model Magic:
1) The smell is possibly due to the plastic bag. It tends to pick up smells very easily, however the odor will go away is moved to an air tight container instead of keeping it in the bag.
2) It will dry faster if you have a dryer room. My office is much dryer than most other places in my home and that is where I put my model magic pieces to dry.
However the long drying time is a bit of a dream for some cosplayers. With its long drying time is it pliable during crucial parts of costume making, allowing itself to be bent if anything should shift, or needs to be reformed (like armor) it will reform with it.
Fimo air dry clay is very bad but their polymer clay is great.
lunamøn yes
i truly hate both. fimo is much too hard.
the yellow daises in the PFP caught me off guard but it was pleasant ||-//
Maddison Ruthford the polymer clay is supposed to be harder
But air dry clay is not
maggiejinyou
i mean when you sculpt it, it takes longer to soften it while scuply takes no to little hard work to soften it.
I have a big tub of Model Magic and it doesn't Smell bad. huh. I only use it for cosplay pieces
It doesn`t to me either. Just sweet and rubbery, it`s not that awful. But some people are more sensitive to smell.
I agree, I used model Magic a lot when I was younger and never minded the smell
Same for me. No problem with the smell.
Model Magic smells a bit sour imo LOL
I love the smell of model magic!
Are you kidding? I love the smell of model magic😬😂
Sophia Bailey I worked for it for at least 40 minutes and was shaking and my stomach hurt, like REALLY bad. I had to take medicine and my head felt a little warmer than usual. It's TERRIBLE!
Sophia Bailey it's terrible! It smells like chemicals!
Sophia Bailey lol yea I was like "how sensitive IS your sense of smell??"
Same! I don't even notice it that much! :0
+Min Yoongi's Everything armyyyy
Wow, this was so thoroughly tested, great job and thank you for doing all that work for us so we can make smart choices when we go shopping!
THANK YOU, I have been looking everywhere for a good and thorough test and review of air dry clay, you are AMAZING for doing this!
I made a pusheen toy with crayonla model magic 6 months ago and it's still not dry
Maggie Battersby It's supposed to do it. It's a kids brand so, if you want it fully dry, I recommend leave it in the sun.
Thx
Maggie Battersby ikr I was making a gift for a pregnant teacher and it never dried........
I think it dries squishy
Wtf
Wait do you have another channel called Cute Life Hacks because if so then I saw ur DIY self watering pokemon planter and I LOVE IT!!
Yes
Could you do more of these videos? This actually is one of my favorite videos in your whole channel( and cute life hacks ) .
In my opinion I absolutely love Crayola's model magic. I used it to make my Karkat horns. It's super light weight. It's aimed for children but honestly it's amazing!! Although this is only my experience from a rather small not so detailed project. But I was in a bit of a con crunch and it was still slightly squishy when I wore it, but it still held up!!
She's left-handed? Btw i love your vids
Just a innocent people passing by..
yep. she's left handed
septiplier awayyy
Septiplier Bean how do you now???????
Pika Chu *person*
she is cutting with her right hand but she is writing with her left hand
For those of you who can't afford to buy online, if you ever get around or live near a Daiso, you should check out the clay there! They have colors that are pre-colored, so there's not only white. Also, it's extremely affordable. It only retails for $1.50-2.80 depending on where you live. I once got a chance to LA and checked out the clay they have there, and it was great! Highly recommend you too check it out!

Thanx so much
Thanks
When I went to Daiso in California for a trip, I tried out their paper clay, and it was a bit of a disappointment. It was very crumbly and dry, and it always cracked when I tried to sculpt with it. I tried it one year, then the next year tried again. Same results. It is okay for making sweet deco cream, but not very good at all for other things. That is why it is so cheap. Then again, this could just be my experience.
+Jayori It definitely seems that way! I always bought my clays there and I had no problems with it. Probably the clay that was quite old so your store might not restock so often that's why your clay might be crumbly. Maybe use a bit of water to soften it? I'm not sure but I never had a problem with Daiso clay.
Why is this vid SOOOOOO addictive?!?!?!?! I've watched it like, 1,000 TIME'S!!!!!!!!!!!
I know this video is really old but it’s giving me a lot of nostalgia. I was OBSESSED with this channel back in the day… I bought mermaid puffy one time in my whole life because of your videos and I still remember how much I liked the smell, lol. I was devastated when it ran out. I haven’t done much crafting in the past few years but this inspired me to go buy some Hearty clay before I head to uni 😁 thanks for everything
...I'm not a crafter...I'm a gamer...I just LOVE Maqaroon and her creations, they're amazing and adorable
Thank you 😄! I love gaming as well and lots of my work are inspired by that
+Maqaroon i want clay but they not let me use PayPal or thing the to pay what do i do help me plz
+Emily Melchorlazcano I'm sure you don't have to use pay-pal. Usually there should be a part WITHIN the website that you can pay with. I don't really know, but hope this kinda helps
+Sugar's Love thanks its help o lot
Omg, me too!
Model magic's smell actually goes away when you dye it with colour, because the smell of the paint takes over.
I'm getting some Hearty clay soon! I can't wait, especially after the review in this video!
This was so helpful! And I tried to sculpt with Fimo, thinking it would be one of the better ones since it's such a popular brand, but I couldn't make it work at all. I felt like my skills died from when I was still in school and felt terrible about it.
I will definitely get some hearty and sculpt with fresh confidence ^^ Thank you!!
TBH I love the smell of model magic 😂😂
JessiiSketch ikr
Yeah ikr! It smells like childhood. Same with sharpies! People think I'm weird but I don't give a damn
JessiiSketch ikr
Saaaameee

Everybody, let's thank Joanna for doing all of this for us! You didn't get the credit you deserve, but right now, I want to give you this credit because I love you. You do so much of this and we use these. Whoever hates on her, why are you here!? She posts these because she loves doing this and wants to help us. Her channels are for the people who thanks her for all the hard work she's done for us while doing this. Now, I wrote this comment because I want to give her the thanks and love she deserves. I hope all of you will too by agreeing by replying to me, liking this comment, subscribing to her, and like her videos. Remember, I'm doing this for her, and not me.
Sadly, this comment still doesn't give all the love she deserves...
Literally the best clay review I've seen in a long time. Thank you for being so helpful
Great presentation of the overall products used here.You have saved me lots of time and guessing !
Thank you for making this! And thank you for showing how each clay is. I'm planning on making chibi dolls/figures around Christmas and I didn't know what clay to use. Now, I know which one! (Hearty obviously xD)
I don't think model magic smells bad. I only use clay for slime so that's why I use model magic to make butter slime. Who else doesn't think that model magic smells bad? I think it has a smell but not a bad one
Tyler Mannelly how do you make butter slime with model magic?
Jen G u just mix the model magic clay with a normal slime 😊
Jen G or you can mix it with lotion or shaving cream
oh my god are you kimbap kidding?
ARMYYYY
I can't handle the smell of model magic. My nose is really sensitive.
Awesome video. Your review was very informative, presented nicely with great transitioning. Your hard work helped me in deciding a new clay to work try.
This video was SO informative! I have recently started working with air dry clay and this was a great video to learn from. Will be checking out your other videos. Thank you!
The sound of her opening the bags is heaven! :)
i bought efaplast a long time ago, cause i couldn't find any other brand. It was so hard to work with! It was so chalky and idk about your efaplast but mine had a very uncomfortable smell, it smelled.. sour (??) and when i molded the clay it felt like chalk pieces
So i thought i don't know how to work with it xD
Efaplast is a really bad brand. My dog ate a piece of mines one day, it ended up making him smell bad(aka sour)
Add some water, it'll get a ton better 😉
I love those flowers! They look just like real flowers. When I saw them first,I thought they were real. But when you said that it was the flowers you made to test, I was amazed, surprised, and also very shocked! I have never made something that realistic! Good job and keep it up!
Thank you very much. I am now starting out working with clay and I had no idea what to buy this vid helps alot. Happy Valentine's Day 😍😍
When the shipping for Hearty clay costs more than the product :))
I got my hearty clay on ebay lol it was only 2 dollars worldwide shipping but the product was 4 or 5 dollars i think.
I get free shipping on Amazon Prime, plus 2-day shipping!!
Go to hobby lobby
I feel like cost and rarity should have been involved in the judging
GlitterFever 592 but that depends where you live
Isabelle Nguyen I agree with you, but I feel like she could've at least rated cost and rarity from where she lives
That video was so helpful! No one has money or patience to waste on the wrong air dry clay! Thank you for doing all that work and sharing your results. I feel a lot more knowledgeable about the various air dry clays.
Excellent review of products!! Great job and thank you!
I don't craft with clay but just love to watch your videos. Love the emoji smell ranking :D
Huh... i have seen some people using fimo and their pieces looked great. Maybe they have different types and some are better than others?
HI! Yes, Fimo polymer clay (over bake) and Fimo air-dry clay are very different things. The polymer clay (small coloured blocks) is quite popular with the UA-cam crafting community and you can get good results with it. Fimo air dry clay only comes in white and is terrible, as shown in this video
ohh thanks that's why i was confused haha. Yes certainly they do have a big gap of quality depending on the product, then.
+Maqaroon can you make a tutorial on how to make the roses u showed in the video??
Amanda Flores i use fimo a lottttt it always turns out so nice fr mee i m always really happyyy this vid makes me sadd
I've looked at the reviews for fimo and they said you just need some water and maybe a bit of layering to make it work.
I just wanna say that these videos are super helpful and I'm so happy that she makes them.
thanks so much, super very informative, touched on all the things i was wondering about, plus inspired me to look in new directions
So well done. VERY helpful and informative. Thank you so much for sharing and saving me money from buying the wrong thing.
Yay, so happy it was useful!!
+Maqaroon yay hi
I'm honestly proud of Crayola for doing pretty good in this test. Since I'm just staring out with clay, I'm probably gonna ask my mom to get some the next time she goes to the dollar store. Thanks for the information!
I know this video is really old but Joanna I just wanted to extend my thanks to you. I'm new at making cosplay props and decided to use air dry clay to fill in some tapering gaps in a staff that I need to be able to sand and cannot heat up. When looking at all the brands in the store I remembered watching this video forever ago and used it as a reference for picking the right clay. I know that what I'm doing isn't what you made this video for but it was really helpful nonetheless! Thank you!
Thanks so much for this comparison. Been trying to find a decent paper clay to try and so far they've been poor ones. This was very helpful, especially with the product links!
Is this another UA-cam channel of cutie life hacks?
Yes
Its Cassandra! Yes she has two channels of crafts
Si
Yes! On Maqaroon though, she does not tend to speak a lot, but on Cute Life Hacks she normally will use her voice.
Yep.
5:08 that heart on the hearty clay lol
Thank you so much for this, very informative and you've saved me a fortune by narrowing down the list to try. So nice to see another left hander 🤗💕
Thank you! This is an extremely helpful video & fun to watch.
I laughed when she said this is a poor excuse for a clay and I just thought to myself 'savagery moments ' l love your vids you are the best diy-er ever you are so talented in crafts and you are just amazing as a person you are so kind and caring and loving when it comes to your hamsters !! I am getting a hamsternext week I am calling it buiscits and it's going to be a Syrian hamsters which is a larger ha,star 💖💖💖💖🦄🦄🦄🦄💅🏻💅🏻🙀🙀🙀🙀🤓🤓😂😂🙊🙊💿🐭🐭💩💩😍😍😄😄😄😊😊😊

Your videos are so calm it makes me less stressed
Tysm for this !! My mother is going to get me airdry clay for my b day and this was quite helpful to let me know which clays to get ! ty again ! :)
Watching this in 2018 the Hearty Clay it's at Hobby Lobby in USA
nice video it was very helpful 😊✨❤🛍🎀
Others: I can't wait to use these good clays for sculpting!
Me: I wonder if they're good for butter slime..
I love ur profile pic
@@VivienneRyder Do you love Ponyo?
I really appreciate this comparison! Thanks so much 😊
This was very helpful and interesting to watch. Thank you!
The smell of model magic is super nostalgic for me haha. It's also a great clay for kids because you can use magic markers to color it.
Could you use daiso clay? I have so many packages because my mom works in a factory that makes daiso clay.
No daiso clay is rlly bad for sculpting
Daiso clay is good for slimes, at least
chris_exxe oml daiso is so bad for sculpting only for slime it’s good lol
@@seenjeans
Try the light "polymer clay that doesn't bake but is air dry and more stretchy and can hold it's shape better images.app.goo.gl/eHemDVE2jMZVNMGy7
Potato XD wow that looks cool! I’ll definitely try thank you!
thank you for all of the work you put into this video!!!
This video was super helpful! Thank you!
And I’m over here still playing and loving playdough...
can you make a needle felt mermaid? :3
thx for the suggestion! now i know which one to buy
Thank you for this video I wanted to know witch one I should order :)
im suprised the crayola clay worked so well i used it for school progects and i just bought some for another im glad im using good clay!
Did you see when she put the paint in Hearty the paint formed a Heart!?😂
thank you so much for this video! Honestly I was getting very disappointed and hopeless when I started crafting and fimo just didn't want to cooperate at all. I've used another one then but I was never quite happy with my experience. I've ordered hearty clay now from amazon and already I'm super excited to craft again :). Thank you very much! ^^
I just made my own cold porcelain clay and really like how it feels while molding. I'm using hand cream to smooth it out. It's definitely going to be teaching me patience upon waiting for my pieces to dry, but I have so many hobbies I doubt I'll get bored anytime soon lol
Amazon
Amazen
Amazawn
amazum
Is hearty just on the Internet? Or is it found in stores
Oh crap I didn't watch the whole video XD
+Liam Moreno lol
You can get it at Hobby lobby. I did it was on sale
Hi! Yes, many people have mentioned it's sold in Hobby Lobby
I’ve only ever used model magic for horns before and I don’t really mind the time taken to dry. I ended up using the clay for the base and letting that dry, and putting spackle on top so I could sand and texture them. I’ve had them for years and are still the best technique I’ve tried!
Very informative! I may try out the top 2.
I have found Hearty in Ben's Franklin Crafts
Criteria! I learned that in 5th grade science 😂
THIS IS SO HELPFUL❤️😄 Thank you so much!!
Thank u for helping find the clay I needed ♥
SHE IS LEFT HANDED!?!?!?!?!?
Eva Lee LEFTIES, ARE THE BEST.
I SHOULD KNOW.
Don't know.
LEFTHANDER OVER HERE ✋
For hearty clay, she added a food coloring heart!
she used acrylic paint
Poop
Thanks you so much to make this video! It is really useful! After you make this video, I changed my clay brand to hearty and it very good!
I love your voice it's so calming and I love your vids
