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.
