Answer 3

Polymer clay comes in over 30 colours so why would you want to paint it?  If you only have one colour of polymer clay, you can paint it with inexpensive acrylic paints such as Folk Art.  The type that comes in 2 oz. bottles.

As for glaze, yes, special glazes are available for polymer clay, but most clayers I know use Future Floor Finish. You just paint on, or dip you projects into the Future and let it dry.  It gives it a nice shiny acrylic finish. One bottle will last a long long time.

The tiny hooks are probably jump rings with a bit of wire attached.  You could also use fishing swivels that you use when attaching hooks to your fishing line.  I have found that Dollar Stores such as Dollarama carry all sorts of jewelry findings like the type you are looking for.

Good luck with your projects.

Answer 4

Home depot has all of it and except for the clay and you can go to art supply store for that. It should all together be under $50.

Answer 5

I would try the craft stores or any of your larger hardware places.  Like Lowe's- Home Depot.  

Answer 6
