A homemade clay that is
Fun for kids, to use in
Thanksgiving decorations
Or almost anytime.
This is the basic recipe-
Specific directions
Follow.
........................
1 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Salt
1/3 c Water ( about )
Here's how to do it....................
1... In a large mixing bowl combine the flour and
the salt. Graduakly add the water. Squeeze the dough
with both hands until it is smooth. If the clay gets
crumbly, wet your hands with a little water. If the
clay gets too wet, sprinkle it with a little more
flour and squeeze again.Store the clay in a plastic
bag until you are ready to use it.
2... Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. This
will be your work surface. Do all your modeling and
drying on the sheet. Directions for working with the
clay will be given in each projcet description.
3... Finished objects can be dried in the air, on
more quickly in the oven. To air-dry your objects,
place them on the foil covered cookie sheet in the sun
for a few hours, or let them dry overnight. This way
of drying is good for small objects.
4... To oven dry your objects set at low 225~. Bake
small thin objects for about 15 minutes. Bake thick
objects for about 1/2 hour each side.
5... After your objects have dried and cooled, they
are ready to be painted with felt tip markers. To
protect the finnish on your object, brush them with
two coats of clear nail polish after the colors are
dry. This will help the colors from coming off.
