@Sparrow I shall try someday, when I'm brave enough to order online 😂. @Sam Yes, they are already coloured. Does your clay harden when baked/dried? It's important that the eye pins don't come loose. Any clay is fine, but polymer clay is recommended for the texture, look and feel it gives.

Same problem here 😔 I lack a lot of things, I don't have eye pins and I've to do a lot of substitution. I'm slowly building up on supplies and hopefully, I'll be able to do more in the future.
