ULTIMATE Air Dry Clay Comparison and Review

Air Dry Clay Is Fun! But not all clays are the same, so I've done my best to help sort the best from the worst.

This is such an interesting review. I bought DAS air dry clay for my first air dry clay and haven't looked back. It seems to be the most workable and solid after drying clay ever. Thank you for the review of other clays! Super useful and as it stands now, I'll be sticking with my favorite DAS clay.

I waited a few days befor i watched your vid this time, just because i wanted to take my time and relax while watching. So its almost 1 am the night after christmass and i am tired and just wanted to relax . The right time to watch you. Tanx for the work you put in to this video. Hope your kid is doing well and you and your fam had a nice Christmas. Hope to see you soon.

I’m so glad you made this. I always need to see reviews because I put clay on my canvases and I need to make sure it’s sturdy

I loved this so much! I have been wanting to work with air dry clay but have been reluctant because I didn't want to spend a ton of money finding out which one worked the best. You have taken ALL of the guess work out of it! THANK YOU!

Thanks for this video Di! It was so much fun to watch and so informative. I work with kids and they love to use air dry clay but balancing price v quality is so tricky. I have used some of these brands but seeing their strengths and weaknesses laid out next to each other is so useful! It will help me choose which clays to use with what projects (including what clay to splash the cash on for my own personal projects - that fimo looks great!)
Have a wonderful Christmas filled with art and heart ❤

This is so helpful! Been wanting to try the medium but didn’t know where to start

Thank you for this informative video! Personally Das has worked super well for me so far, but I haven't tried many other clays, so this is cool to see!

[ChantelleArts]

this is a fantastic review! excellent testing, filming and editing ❤❤

[belindaburgiss]

Love it. So much fun to do and the cartoony vibe is awesome.

This was a really great review of so many popular brands. Thanks for sharing your experiences

The best air dry clay is "La Doll" / "Premier". It's often used to make dolls in the doll crafting community, so that should tell you it holds details well. I've tried a few air dry clays, including DAS which I don't like because it has a strong smell. Also, just a note that you shouldn't make any dishes / cups with air dry clay as it's not really "toxic-free"...this is what my pottery teacher tells me anyway.

The comparisons were very interesting! I loved the finished piece. The fabric look turned out really well, as did the flowers. 🌸

Awesome video, very helpful. Do u think the fimo would stick to resin, relatively well?

[sheridanray]

Tysm! I had no clue which one to choose but now I’ll be getting Fimo😉

[TeddyAtTheCreativeNook]

This was a fantastic comparison! I've been using DAS on & off for awhile & I've never been that happy with it. It's been ok, just thought that there must be better out there, so I'll be trying FIMO next time I need some airdry clay XD
The art piece looks fantastic & I agree, definite 90s vibes.

Merry Christmas Di! Hope Santa brings you some fun art supplies 💙🎅☀

Super grateful for all of your work and experimentation on this! It's not a cheap endeavor on money, nor time, and I appreciate you saving me both! I have used a few of these but at disparate times so I never had the opportunity to truly compare them! I am definitely going to have to give the FIMO a try! Also, I don't know if you would have easy access to it but Sculpey has an air dry version too and I really like it! The final product is strong, smooth and easy to paint but it also almost sparkles and is a gorgeous bright white when unpainted too! I really love the clothlike texture of your background on this one and the flower colors are amazing! Hoping you and yours have a Happy Christmas and a New Year full of health, happiness, and prosperity!

Thank you so much for the video! I’ve been wanting to get into clay and this has helped immensely with what I should consider when working with clay
