Can I use armatures with Air-Dry Clay?

When creating with Crayola® Air-Dry Clay, we recommend forming your sculpture into a 3D solid structure. If you feel an armature is necessary, it’s best to use one that allows a small amount of give, such as crumpled aluminum foil. Using a rigid armature can lead to cracking, as it doesn’t accommodate the clay’s natural constriction during drying.
