Polymer Clay Sale at Michaels Arts and Crafts

9

Fimo, Premo, Sculpey

Pssssttt… Wanna buy some polymer clay… Cheap?

Every once in a while Michaels Arts and Crafts has a sale on polymer clay and unless you get their flyer, you might not know about it. So I thought I would help get the word out.

Both the US and the Canadian stores have their sale on right now. But it ends tomorrow (May 23), so you'll have to act fast to catch them on this go round.

Fimo Classic, Fimo Soft, Premo and Sculpey III are all priced at $.99 (US) and a $1.49 in here in Canada. Figures… our dollar is finally in line with the US buck and we still have to pay 50% more!

These prices are a really good deal especially for the Premo which is the most expensive of the polymer clay brands, regularly priced at $4.65 (CDN).

So if you read this in time and can get out to a Michael's polymer clay sale/store near you, it's time to stock up and buy, buy, buy polymer clay today… tonight, or tomorrow! Sorry for the late notice. But if you miss this sale, be sure to keep your eyes open for the next flyer. The polymer seems to go on sale about every 2 months.

Thanks for mentioning that Celeste. I went in to my local Michael's store yesterday and picked up a 100 blocks. I was so excited I had to make a new post about it. You can read the full story at this link: Michael's Polymer Clay Sale

Just a quick heads up about the polymer clay sale that is happening at Michaels stores in both Canada and USA + Hobby Lobby in the US. Follow the "Bead Magazine Reviews" link by my name for more details and links that have been added to the comments section of that article post.

Hi Cindy!

I found a new polymer clay at Michael's this week. It appears to be a generic type of clay and the name on it is "Craftsmart". Michael's stores is listed as the distributor. It seems to be a softer clay, bakes at 275 degrees.It comes in a variety of colors but from the stock at hand it doesn't appear to be comprehensive. For example, there was only one red although it seemed to be fairly balanced and probably could be made warmer or cooler with mixing. Just wondering if you are familiar with this brand and if so, what you think of it.

@Sue: I bought a pack of that CraftSmart clay just this week. I will be experimenting with it over the next while and will post on it.
