Bread Sculpting Dough

A quick and easy clay recipe made from bread and glue! Note: As in all recipes, results can vary depending on humidity, conditions, etc. Please try any recipe out before attempting in a group setting.

This project is rated EASY to do.

What You Need

2 Parts Bread - approximately 2 pieces or slices

2 Parts Glue - approximately 1/4 bottle (Normal bottle of Elmer's Glue-All NET 4 FL. OZ./118ml )

1 Part Food Coloring (optional ) - approximately 2 drops

How To Make It

Crumble bread into small chunks. Add glue. Mix immediately. If too dry or sticky add a little water. Add food coloring for color. (optional) How to mold: This is just like clay, but you need to be careful not to crumble it, or hold it in your hand for too long (It may get sticky and stick to your hand!) When you want colored figures, I suggest that you color the dough, before working with it.

How long will it dry? Usually, it takes one hour to dry. Due to amount and proportions. I suggest that you leave it in a cool room, (for instance, the garage, if clean enough) on a flat cookie sheet, with a nonstick spray, or wax paper on it.

How do I finish my items? When you finish your items, spray them with either ceramic spray or hair spray, both do the trick. Also clear nail polish or high gloss varnish work. All work the same. Make sure the items have dried before putting clear finish on them.
