Useful Items for working with Polymer Clay:
• Ceramic Tile: I recommend going to your local Lowes, Home Depot, or such, where you can just pick up one or two tiles in whatever size you want. When ordering tile online, you usually have to order tile in a multi pack, like this one: https://amzn.to/3NnoYaH which is great if you’re going to have a use for that many tiles. If not, just check out your local hardware store.
