Alternatives for some of these things:?
First of all, I can buy absolutely nothing since I have no money to spend at all.
So how do I make polymer clay? I looked it up on google, but I’m not sure exactly what will work. Does anyone have a recipe or some kind of alternative that they’ve tried out and liked?
Also, I don’t have a pasta machine, so will the effect still be the same if I use a rolling pin? If not, then are there any other alternatives?
Please please give me any helpful tips
Thanks!!!
First, you can’t make polymer clay at home (it has to be made in a manufacturing lab). Btw, polymer clay never dries; it must go through a chemical reaction from being exposed to sufficient heat (in a home oven usually) to cure and harden.
You can make various kinds of “air-dry” clay at home though.
The closest in handling characterisitics and the kind of fine surface you get would be something called “bread clay” (see recipe below). A second possibility would be “salt dough” clay. There’s also something called cornstarch clay, but it’s trickier to make at home and won’t end up as stiff.
You can use rollers, brayers, and other things instead of a pasta machine, especially if you’re not using polymer clay. All the same things can be done, they’ll just take more time or be a little less easy even with polymer clay.
You may want to check out these two pages at my polymer clay “encyclopedia” website on various kinds of rollers to use and also specificallly how to get along without a pasta machine:

(…click on “Brayers, Rollers”…)

(… click on “No Pasta Machine?”…)
You might want to check out the rest of my site too for all things related to polymer clay since many of them would apply to air-dry clays too. Start on the Table of Contents page, then go to any specific page you’re interested in from inside the alphabetical navigation bar on the left:

P.S. “bread clay”
