Decoupage Letters Air Dry Clay

A decoupage letters craft lets kids and adults shape letters from air dry clay and decorate them with acrylic paint. Once the clay dries, everyone adds color, patterns, and simple details for a personalized finish. It’s an easy, hands‑on activity that works well in classrooms, camps, or at home for any occasion.
