BAKING CLAY II
Submitted by: DonnaPs23@aol.com
- 2 cups baking soda
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/4 cups water
Cook over med heat stirring constantly till texture of mashed potatoes.
Knead well by hand.
Can cut with cookie cutters or use small molds.
Air dry for approx three days or bake on 175 degrees till firm (depends on thickness of
art project).
I usually bake about 40 min one side and then turn and bake on
other side.
You can add food coloring to the clay to make it colored, or
paint with acrylics once hardened.
I use this clay to make pins, charms, etc.
Normally I paint the projects and shellac them. Once I made dino pins for use
as nametags at my son's birthday party and wrote each child's name on them in
permanent marker. These are easy and inexpensive. The dough will keep for 2
or three days in a plastic bag, but best to use right away.
