1
Determine the type of project you are using air drying clay for. There are different types of air drying clay that are ideally suited for different purposes.[1] You'll need to know what you are using the clay for, in order to determine which type of clay is right for you. These are other questions you should ask yourself:
How big is my final product going to be?
How heavy do I want my final product to be?
How much money can I spend on my clay?
Do I want my clay to have a heftier, "premium" feel (usually applies to jewelry/trinkets/beads)?

2
Choose paper-based air drying clay for larger projects. Usually, larger projects will benefit from paper clay. Since they require a lot of material, you'll save money. The finished project will also be much lighter.
Paper based clay feels fluffy to work with, but is hard and light when it dries.[2]
Paper based clay will be fluffy and chunks of it will break off in similar fashion to cotton candy.[3]

3
Choose resin-based air drying clay for smaller projects like jewelry. Equally strong, resin based clay (sometimes called porcelain based clay) is much denser, and when it is dried seems much more similar to baked polymer clay. It is also much more expensive and heavier.[4]
Smaller projects like jewelry or beads benefit from the "premium" feel of resin or porcelain based clay.[5]
Resin based clay is denser and will pull apart like fudge, caramel, or toffee.[6]

4
Knead your clay until it is soft. Kneading and massaging the clay will soften it and make it easier to work with. The warmth of your hands will spread to the clay and make it malleable. Conditioning the clay is essential for proper use. If you planned to work with multiple bags of clay, knead them one at a time.
If using multiple bags for one piece, knead the clay together after each bag of clay has been warmed and kneaded separately.
If using paper based clay, you can add a small amount of water to additionally soften the clay. [9]
Resin based clay can be softened (and colored!) with acrylic paint. [10

5
Shape your clay. Both three dimensional and flat figures are easy to make with air drying clay. Use your hands and tools like knives, spoons, or even spinning wheels to form and shape the clay as you desire.
Crafting tools (or even dental picks and equipment!) can be very useful for creating more complex projects, as you can be much more exact with them.[11]
If you are making a larger project that needs to stand up such as a vase, make sure that it has a large, flat base.
