Are you looking for some air dry clay ideas? You’re in the right place! Here are 50 of the internet’s finest projects in one handy spot. Enjoy!

Hello, beautiful people, and welcome back to my corner of the web. I hope you’re all feeling fabulous today! Oh, me? As ever, I am feeling inspired.

Over the past six months, I have found a deep, unending love for compilation posts. As a DIY blogger, I’m constantly on the lookout for inspiration. Compilation posts are a great way for me to curate ideas . . . and share them with you lovely people!

There’s always a new technique to try, or an IKEA hack ready to blow my mind!

Since testing out some air dry clay projects earlier this year, I’ve been wanting to experiment more with the medium. So today let me share 50 of the internet’s finest air dry clay ideas with you all . . .

Don’t be surprised if you see me giving some of these a whirl!
