Clay & Craft Guide
Our cutters and matching stamps aren't just for cookies. Potters, polymer clay artists and crafters use them for earrings, mug appliqués, ornaments and more. Here's how to get crisp results.
Polymer clay
- Condition the clay and roll it to an even sheet, about 1/8" to 1/4" thick.
- Cut the shape, then press the matching stamp in firmly and evenly to emboss the detail.
- A light dusting of cornstarch on the clay helps the stamp release cleanly.
- Bake the clay pieces following your clay brand's directions. Never put the cutters in the oven.
Great for earrings, charms, magnets, keychains and gift tags.
Ceramics & pottery
- Roll a slab of soft clay and cut your shape. Stamp it while the clay is still soft enough to take the detail.
- Score and slip the back to add it as an appliqué on mugs, planters and vases, or use it on its own as a tile or ornament.
- Let the pieces dry as usual before firing. The cutters are plastic and should never go in a kiln.
Air-dry clay & salt dough
- Cut and stamp the same way, and poke a hanging hole with a straw before it dries.
- Perfect for Christmas ornaments, keepsakes and kids' craft days.
Fondant, gum paste & chocolate
- Roll fondant thin, cut and stamp, then let toppers firm up before placing them on cakes and cupcakes.
Good to know
- Keep craft and food tools separate. Once a cutter has been used with polymer clay or ceramic clay, keep it for crafts only.
- Hand wash in cool to warm soapy water. No dishwasher, hot water or heat.
