So for the Valentine's Day fund-raiser, one of the clubs I'm in has decided to make clay hearts with love messages on them. We're planning on using cookie cutters to cut them out, inscribing customized messages, baking, painting, and maybe attaching beads, ribbons, glitter, etc. to each heart.
Does anyone have suggestions for which clay to use?
I tried out Sculpey, and it was easy to work with and made a decent heart, but I hear that it is very fragile. I've heard of Premo, but it sounds hard to work with and I don't know if it's good for this kind of project.
We're going to go buy more brands to try them out, but it'd be a lot easier if anyone can give us any hints or tips.
The clay needs to be relatively easy to work with, strong (not likely to crack from everyday handling), and relatively cheap (we're trying to make a profit)
