ClayPalsSM
began a few years ago when my daughter, Alex, started creating miniatures
out of clay as a hobby. Most figures were less than an inch in size but
had remarkable details: a fire-breathing dragon, a penguin listening to an
MP3 player, or a dog holding a bone.
ClayPals are less than an inch tall!
As
she developed her own techniques, she began to experiment more and started
creating playful figures such as an earth worm (a worm crawling through a
globe), a fire ant (an ant wearing a fire hat), or a hot dog (a Daschund
in a bun). When she started showing her ClayPals to her school
friends, everyone wanted to buy them. Thus a small business was born!

About ClayPals
ClayPals
are made from non-toxic Sculpey modeling clay and then baked for 15
minutes at 275 degrees to harden them. Each ClayPal is then
carefully boxed and shipped in a padded envelope. Please treat your ClayPal
with care and it should last forever. Not recommended for small
children under age of three. We will be adding new figures from time to
time, so
be sure to check back often. Volume
and custom orders are welcomed. ClayPals make great party favors.
Pricing
Each ClayPal is
hand-made to order. We do not use molds. These are not imported from
China. Every order is made personally by Alex. Simpler figures take less
time to make and less materials and are priced $3.98 or $4.98. More
complex figures with greater details and color take longer to craft and
are priced starting at $5.98 to $6.98.
Shipping
& Handling
ClayPals are
small and light but they are delicate and fragile. Each ClayPal is
wrapped in cotton, boxed and shipped in a small padded envelope. To keep
costs down, we use the least expensive services available from the U.S.
Postal Service. Our shopping cart will automatically add $3.00 to cover
the costs of shipping and handling for each ClayPal ordered. If you
order more than one ClayPal, we will send you a refund for the
excess postage via Paypal.

A note to our overseas friends wanting to adopt a

shipping to get your ClayPal to you safely! Thanks for your understanding.
We don't want Alex going broke due to international shipping costs!
