Common Polymer Clay Brands in North America
Tip #6: Why I Like the Premo Sculpey Polymer Clay Brand:
For bead making, I recommend using the Premo! Sculpey brand because:
(1) It is the strongest polymer clay brand that I've come across so far.
(2) It's also the smoothest. You'll see what I mean when you use it for yourself.
(3) It remains soft enough to condition easily.
(4) And it sands and buffs to a beautiful shine… better than any of the other brands.

"Polymer Clay Brands" Video Description: The full version of this tutorial is available in my Beads and Beading Membership Club. In North America, there are a few other brands of polymer clay besides the four I describe in this video. But these are the most common and most readily available.

I have run into so many problems lately with Sculpey III breaking that unless you already have some I would recommend not bothering with it at all. Paying a few cents more for Premo is definitely worth the money.
As a beginner any and all information on polymer clay is invaluable. And, back in the '70's I had a friend that used to always tell me "I want you to learn from my mistakes so you don't have to make them". The mistakes he was talking about were much harder to learn from another person but I know I will be happy to follow along with Cindy and learn from hers!!
Yeah, crafting mistakes are much easier to 'get over' than life mistakes… but who really wants to make them, if they can be avoided!!
Thank you Katina for your great comment!
