The 2022 Polymer Clay Challenge is managed by Michele Hinchey of MacTiere Luna Creations and her team.

This challenge is a commitment you make to yourself to complete at least one polymer clay item each week. You decide what the item(s) will be, if they will follow a theme, be random creations, be working towards a final skill level learning goal, etc. for the duration of the current year.

I had so much fun with the previous two polymer clay challenges (#2020pcchallenge and #2021pcchallenge) that I decided to participate again this year. 

For Week 1 – 4, I made Scrappys:

I love making gingerbread houses and decided to make one for this year’s challenge as well.

Have a look at last year’s gingerbread house – 2020 Polymer Clay Challenge – Week 46 

Interestingly, last year I made it for week 46 and this year it’s for week 47 (and it was not planned) … clearly at this time every year I like to make miniature gingerbread houses 🤣🤣

Miniature cookies for Santa
(and carrots for Rudolph, of course)
