Air Dry Clay

Materials:

1 cup Baking soda

1/2 cup Cornstarch

3/4 cup Water

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the Clay

Add baking soda, cornstarch, and water to a pot and stir together.

Place the pot on a burner over low to medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to pull away from the pot and it forms a "mashed potato" consistency.

Pull the pot off the heat immediately when it reaches this thickness. Do not overcook!

Put the clay into a bowl or spread it out on a baking sheet to cool. Let the clay reach room temperature before working with it.

It will take at least half an hour to cool down.

Step 2: Use the Clay

The texture of the clay should be very soft and moldable, but not sticky. If the clay sticks to surfaces, or your hands, dust the work area with cornstarch.

Allow the clay to air dry for 3 to 5 days. Or bake it in the oven at 200F for 1 to 1.5 hours, flipping the piece half way through.
