Polymer clay is great for making fast and easy craft projects like necklaces, vases, plates, and animals. If you are looking for some polymer clay crafts, here are some fast and easy projects:

Clay Rabbit
You will need polymer clay in white and pink and some toothpicks. This project will take just under an hour to complete. Start by rolling the clay into several pieces:
One 1 inch ball for the body
One ¾ inch ball for the head
Two ¼ inch balls for the front feet
Two ½ inch balls for the back feet (you can flatten the end out a little bit)
Two ½ inch balls for the ears. Then, shape the balls to look like floppy rabbit ears.
Two tiny balls in pink clay for the nose and mouth. Shape one ball into a triangle for the nose and shape the other into a small line for the mouth.
Two tiny balls in white for the cheeks
Roll and shape all the parts, then cut the end off a toothpick and use it to fasten the head to the body. Press the tail and back feet to the body. Now add the front feet, ears, cheeks, nose and mouth. With a black pen, you can mark two black eyes. Use a toothpick to create whisker holes on the cheeks and to shape the teeth.

One the rabbit is shaped; place it in the oven for 20 minutes at 275 degrees. After it is fired, allow it to cool and coat it with a polymer sealant and allow it to dry.
