Best Homemade Air Dry Clay - Craft Supply - DIY

How to make air dry clay at home? Watch this video and try it out by yourself. I have voted this as my best homemade air dry clay after using it for some projects recently.
It's super easy to make, no mess, less shrinkage (= less/ no cracks), dried fast (less than 24 hours) and hard.
I can use it for any types of clay craft projects including fairy houses using jar, bottle, and cardboard. You can paint it after the clay dry or mix wet clay with acrylic paints to make colored clay.
It is suitable for making small clay items like miniature and jewelry too.
Sometimes I make this DIY clay with glue and sometimes without glue. Both work well for me.
Btw, you can visit my website for more details:

Love everything you make I’ve been hooked on your videos ever since I found you on here a few weeks ago I can’t wait to make something but I’m spoiled for choice for what to make first because everything I’ve seen is so pretty 🥰

Buenos días de nuevo desde Donostia, me ha encantado esta pasta ya que, a diferencia de otras pastas de secado al aire, esta se ve mucho mas fácil de modelar. Gracias por compartir 😊

After adding the flour and other ingredients will the plaster be waterproof ? If not is polyurethane something that can be used to coat it?

[@clayitnow]

You may give it a go to test on available product to make it waterproof. I have not done that and keep my craft for indoor garden.

Oohh, i am definitely doing something wrong. My clay is wettish, and has cracks at the same time. It doesn't smoothen like yours Any idea how to fix it?

[@clayitnow]

Oo...maybe adding flour will help to solidify the clay 🤔

[@geko8132]

What kind of glue do you use? White glue for wood. Or transparent all purpose glue? Tell me please.🙏 Thank you. I love all your projects so much.👌🏻

Thanks. Any glue will do

Of all of your clay recipes which one is your go to?

I don't have preference, but depending on what available at home and things I make😁

[@yrmaalarcon5826]

Hola, tiene algo especial el yeso de paris? En mi país, solo hay yeso, no es especial. Excelente tutorial gracias desde Perú. ,

[@clayitnow]

Hola. también puedes usar yeso normal.

[@Mk-ri5bl]

How long will this clay last? And will the things made with it not get mould later on?

[@spiritualkicksrt]

Video says it hardens in 24 hours and make small batches. I would think you would want to only make what you can use in one art session. I would probably have hard molds handy and use the rest of the clay in the molds and use baby oil as a mold release in tighter molds. Not sure you could paint it if you use oil to release. I am thinking, cake ball molds for cabochons and no oil needed.

[@sylviawatts4027]

Could any of your homemade clays be used in the garden outside as a fairy garden thank you for your time in showing us how to make items look forward to hearing from you 😀 xx

[@clayitnow]

All air dry clay is suitable for indoor unless you know how to protect (surface treatment) your creations for outdoor use.

[@kstewart3901]

If you paint it with at least 3 coats of a weather proof varnish, like marine varnish or something similar, it will be okay to use outside.

[@spiritualkicksrt]

Love this!

[@clayitnow]

Thanks.

[@jolillyboo4201]

Hi! Does the clay shrink for the non-glue/with glue recipe?

[@221b-Maker-Street]

All of the clay will shrink a little, yes - purely due to evaporation as it dries. A bit like a slice of bread left out overnight!

[@denizcelik7841]

Ellerinize sağlık çok teşekkürler Paris alcisi yok normal alçı olurmü ♥️

Can you pre mix the dry ingredients and store it in a plastic container

Yes, perferct! I did that too

Wouldn't the plaster of Paris harden before you have made the things please???

You'll have few hours working time when doing like I did with this recipe.

Happy New Year. This type of clay will become hard very fast, not suitable for storing, it has to be used straight away.

I have try your best homemade clay.I make a small mushroom,after two weeks it get mould.I guess NZ winter lots of rain,too humidity,or I add lemon juice?

[@clayitnow]

Your clay didn't dry well/ fast enough I guess that's why it's mouldy. Once the clay dried and sealed with mod podge or varnish it will stay as it is for long.
