My goal is not only to turn toys into artwork, but also make them last "nearly" forever. So, I've been experimenting over the years with many different supplies & brands and I'm now confident to share with you my favorites. Keep in mind, some tools are very sharp and are not suitable for kids.

Essential supplies I use for every custom:

Retail stores no longer sell previous generation of brushable ponies, but you can find them in customizable condition on eBay. Give them a good scrub with warm soapy water and let them fully dry before you start customizing.

My favorite clay to use especially to sculpt parts, such as the mane and tail, that I can take off the pony to bake. It's easy to work with and doesn't cure until baked.

I use epoxy clay to sculpt parts, such as clothing and accessories, that I can't take off the figures to bake. Easy to shape & texture, blends well onto figures & doesn't shrink. Must wear nitrile gloves and work in well-ventilated area when combining parts A and B.

Protect your hands from chemicals when mixing epoxy. Poly, latex, and vinyl gloves are not chemical resistant.

Use to condition clay and create smooth sheets and blocks.

Long 6.5" to 7.5" blades make perfectly straight or curved edges in sheets and blocks of clay. Extremely sharp so use with caution!

One-inch long blade for making precise, clean cuts in clay. Extremely sharp so use with caution!

My favorite tool because it can do so much--shape, blend, smooth, texture, trace, and cut.

Made with high-quality pigments and has a beautiful, matte finish. There are over 70 colors available, but you can mix nearly all the colors you'll need with less than 10 colors. See the course I recommend below to learn the secrets to color mixing.

Most acrylic paints are thick and will leave brushstrokes if not thinned down. However, thinning down with water greatly reduces the paint's pigment load and its ability to stick to surfaces. Mix several drops of this medium into your acrylics to get a smooth coverage without affecting the paint's quality.

Choose flats for wide areas, and rounds for tight areas and fine lines.

Reusable 10-well palette for mixing small amount of paint for immediate use.

For mixing larger amount of paint. Can be stored up to a month without drying out if cups are covered with cling wrap before snapping on lids.

Protect your painted figures from heat, yellowing, and chipping. Mix well, apply very thin layers & allow to fully dry between layers, otherwise your figures will have a frosted finish instead of matte. Can be thinned down with the acrylic medium (#10) on this list.

U know wut’s good about making the hair out of clay. The hair looks exactly like it does in the show, and it won’t go all poofy! Genius!
