White Bread Clay
Recipe
A clay recipe based
on white bread dough. I would like to point out that it’s not edible in any way
due to the glue, if eaten anyway, best of luck.
White Bread
6 pieces of day-old,
white bread
3 Teaspoons white
glue
2 Teaspoons Water
Remove crusts from
bread, and cut the remaining into small pieces. Use a large mixing bowl to add
water and glue to the bread pieces. Knead the mixture with your hands until it
has the consistency similar to pie dough.
When done the clay
can be rolled out on newspaper and cut with a cookie cutter or perhaps rolled
into beads. Allow to drie when shaped as desired.
No-Bake Clay Recipe
Many clay recipes
requires some form of baking, this does not. The clay can easily be colored or
the natural color can be kept. If you choose to color the clay, it can still be
painted or sealed with polish when modelled.
1 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 cups cold water
2 cups baking soda (1
pound)
Food coloring
(optional)
Tempera or acrylic
paints (optional)
Clear shellac,
acrylic spray, or nail polish
Combine cornstarch,
baking soda and water in a saucepan; stir over medium heat for about 4 minutes
until mixture thickens to a moist mashed-potato consistency. (For a fun colored
clay, add a few drops of food coloring to the water before it is mixed with
cornstarch and baking soda.)
Then remove from heat, turn onto plate, and cover with a damp cloth
until cool. When cooled, knead until smooth.
Jewelry Clay Recipe
This is a fun recipe
which allow your kids to create jewelry treasures! Easy and simple clay recipe,
but very appreciated.
clay beads
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
warm water
Begin with mixing all
the dry ingredients. After that, slowly add warm water (not boiled) until the
mixture sticks together and can be shaped.
To begin the jewelry
creation, roll the clay into small balls, pierce the balls with toothpick or a
thick nail (if you intend to string the beads), allow to dry. When dry, paint
as desired and once again allow to dry.
Paint or spray paint
balls with acrylic finish to seal off. After finish dries, string beads on
jewelry thread, invisible fishing line, elastic cording or just place all the
jewelry in a treasure chest (if desired, bury in the backyard for safekeeping).
Basic Modeling Clay
Basic but functional
clay recipe. Based on easy to find and cheap ingredients.
1/2 cup potato starch
or corn starch
1 cup salt
1 cup boiling water
Boil the mixture
until its texture reminds you of a soft-ball, then use a waxed paper to knead
on. To keep the clay moist, you can place it in a air-tight container and wrap
a wet cloth around it.
After modelling, the products should be allowed to air-dry. The pieces
can be painted after drying is complete.
Peanut Butter Clay
Recipe
This is a very simple
and edible clay recipe. The clay making can be an excellent excuse just to get
something snaxy.
1 part peanut butter
1 part dry powdered
milk
Honey
Mix the peanut butter
and dry powdered milk. Slowly add the honey until desired consistency is
achieved. If the mixture is too sticky, add more dry milk. If it’s too dry, add
more honey.
Then it’s just to let
the creating (and eating) begin. It will be appreciated by the kids in the
family.
