Best Homemade Clay Recipe (Retake)

[@clayitnow]

Hello everyone, fyi, this video has subtitles. You can go to setting and choose your preferred language for caption. Btw, for stronger clay, I have added few pieces of toilet paper when kneading the clay. It will strengthen the clay, absorb extra liquid, best for sculpting. The clay will dry super hard, no cracks and take the details better. You will have super homemade clay above the best😁. Don't forget to read the update at my website: www.clay-it-now.com/besthomemadeclay.html You can see the video on how I add the tissue paper at kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6aTlqmIl52FZrM

Hi guys, another tip: put the 1tbsp of oil in the 1/2 cup first let it get oalong the sides of the cup then pour into the flour. Next put the glue in that same cup and pour on your flour and oil mixture. The glue wil slide directly to the flour since you coat it with the oil first.

Great tip!

I’ve tried several other recipes and this one performs so much better. Most of my clay crafting is using silicone molds. I’m able to take them out easily before setting so I can apply them to jars or bottles. Thanks for posting this!

You are welcome. Glad to know that my clay recipe works well for your silicone molds. TFS your experience.

[@melissadavidson5024]

First of all, im a fan of ur channel and i totally appreciate how u take the time out to respond to most of your comments, as i see many who do not, thus people have questions that never get answered... it shows you appreciate your viewers. I made this recipe once and i do live in ky so i had to add more flour but it turned out nicely. Last night i decided to make it again, but i decided i wanted something that will get even harder. I tweaked ur recipe just a tad. I added half tube of caulk i got for a dollar at dollar tree. I tested it by making a few flowers and it turned out incredible! Obviously if you want something that's one hundred percent non toxic i don't recommend adding the caulk as idk what it would do ingested but the strength is incredible! Thanks for this recipe ive tried several ones i like yours the best! Oh i also sprinkled alum to help double down on keeping it from going bad during storage

[@clayitnow]

Wow...fantastic! Surely you have superb handmade clay that is uniquely yours now 👍 and thank you for sharing some of your improvements and finding. Let’s craft together😉😊✌️

[@clayitnow]

Btw, you can just add cornstarch/ cornflour instead of chalk to make it dry harder but not too much😊

[@dawnpeacock4968]

@@clayitnow I know this is 8 months later, but I just found your video and was reading the comments. This person added CAULK, not "chalk!" It's the silicone substance used to seal around windows or bathtubs!

[@clayitnow]

Dawn Peacock 😆 he..he..you are the perfectionist one I guessed。I know Melissa means chalk instead of caulk 🤣 it may bother you but I am fine with it because I make same error. Sometimes my fingers and brain work in diff directions😂 and I typed funny words. Well...many people experimenting to get the right homemade clay for them. Some use baby powder, chalk, plaster or cement mixed with flour/ starch and glue. Anyway, thank you for watching my videos and writing your comments. Stay tuned and keep sending your feedback please. Appreciate that.

[@dawnpeacock4968]

@@clayitnow Um, I think she meant what she said, which was "caulk." I was pointing out to you that she used caulk, NOT chalk. She added caulk (silicone in a tube) to your recipe and made it even stronger!

[@reneelamothe797]

I'm so grateful for this recipe and all the time you're putting into answering eveyone's questions! I have made small objects with this clay, and I'm noticing that after a week or so, there's some discoloration appearing on the surface, whether it's been mixed with acrylic paint or not. It looks like small whiteish circles all over the dried pieces. Have you ever had a similar experience? I'm trying to figure out what causes it!

[@clayitnow]

Thanks. Really? I have not seen that on mine😊.

[@VacationHacker]

I would say thats mould from the flour ( i have seen that in pizza doe).

[@natasharankin8383]

This reminds me of when I stayed with nanna and Albert on their farm. We could play in and sneek some clay from the rivers and little water holes. It was so much fun

[@shazniw]

how long will it last after making the sculpture? will it form fungus? why add vinegar? is it to prevent mold?

[@johngay8416]

Just a comment on measuring flour, and probably the corn starch as well. Because flour is so fluffy, no matter how carefully you try to measure a cup of flour, each cup will have a different amount of flour to air. To get a consistent amount of flour, be sure to weigh it instead. 50 grams of flour will always contain the same amount of flour, whereas two separate cups of flour can contain up to 50% more or less flour.

[@clayitnow]

Ah yah....you are right. I’ve never thought of that before. I’ll take note when making recipe video next time. Thank you so much.

[@samantham5237]

I am so in love with this recipe. When I started I got really nervous because my consistency was really wet. So I paused and read through more of the reviews. What I found from some Q&A’s.... I added squares of toilet paper (7-9 squares - soak up the moisture and gives it that extra uhump) and I ended up adding more lotion and more cornstarch. The reason I added more was because on one comment you said not to add all the water if you don’t need it. But I never saw that until later and I added it all. Mistake for me because I almost had chunky soup lol. But with your replies and viewers questions I saved my clay and now know how to fix it. VIEWERS if you get discouraged because you think it’s taking to long to form it it too wet don’t get upset. Have patience. It will work out if you just give it time. None of this would of been possible without your brilliance. Yes there are a ton of other tutorials and I’m sure they are just as good. But you’re my Guru. I’ll always come to you! You’re the best and thank you again!

My only concern with all this homemade clay..it has flour food item won’t it get mouldy or fungus development over time ...on things we make using this clay...specially because I live in very humid atmosphere where things gets spoil like no ones business . If anyone can shade light on that matter would be very helpful to me thanks

[@clayitnow]

As far as I know the clay will be okay once it's dried hard (100%) but you can't keep wet clay too long in humid weather condition, mold grows easily. Hope that helps 😁

[@bodyworxmassagetherapy7382]

Put about 1 tablespoon of salt per cup of flour. That would stop mould from forming.

[@msshere]

Thats why a lot of the time you will see a bit of either vinegar or lemon juice included in the recipe, because that is what keeps it from molding.

[@mistresstlc210]

For me, I live by the ocean, and in a city with LOTS of mosquitoes in my area, and the weather is *literally* backwards! (Hot in winter, freezing in summer) and black mold and “people fungus” aka “homeless must/grime” is abundant in the pavement outside... none of my work has molded except for one forgotten, re-soaking, in the bathroom! Wash your hands with whatever you’d use to hand wash dishes (soap or detergent) taking extra care around your wrists, between your finger curves, and under your nails! Doing this will strip the outer layer of oils and skin-stuff that fungi and bacteria live on. Do not rly your hands! Wash your tools and containers with the same, and rinse as best you can, as hot as you can, and prop up to dry in a clean, ventilated, dirt free area. (Probably in the sun, depending on what is spoiling your things) IMMEDIATELY use the moisturizer from your recipe on your hands and wrists, use a little more than you need for just your hands to feel wet, but not so much they *look* wet or you can see streaks of the cream. Pat of the extra, wherever you need it, **don’t** *wipe* it off!!! Measure your ingredients into the bowl, as she did, but I add the glue after rubbing the cup with oil. (If I remember right the order was dry stuff, then oil, moisturizer, vinegar, water. That’s the cleanest method, because the oil makes the moisturizer slip off, the vinegar’s acidity cuts through the oil, and the water can be used to rinse the spoon.) this also removes the need to rinse, since water is so abundant and evaporates quickly around you. **Now** as you get ready to kneed, very quick rinse your hands and wipe them off, this time. Don’t soap them. Just rewetting the layer of moisturizer on your hand to remove whatever has stuck on your skin. Another tip I have is to use a container or bow that is tall and narrow, instead of wide and flat. This is to reduce the airflow and air traffic of germs in the bowl. And try not to breath directly into it. It’s like our breath is a gust of wind for germs and spores. My last piece of advice is to kneed *in* the container, or holding it. But not on a counter or table top. If you have to use a surface because you’re making the full recipe and it’s just better for you, lay down some plastic/cling wrap, if you can afford to, but just before you kneed, not before then. (I can’t really afford to, since more would be wasted unused before I even turned around! Lol, so I try cutting recipes down to 1/4 or smaller to test them, first.) Let me know if any of this helps, please!

I just made this recipe and I am really happy with the end result! There was a minor hiccup that had my husband thinking I'd just made a HUGE mess instead of clay. When I had added all the ingredients and picked up the clay to start kneading it, much like the experience Simon Jensen had, it was far too wet. My hands were coated in wet, sticky muck. I had the hubs add 1/3 cup flour to the mound on my hands and worked that in....still too wet, I had him add another 1/3 cup and it tightened up nicely. I wasn't able to incorporate all of the last 1/3 cup--I used maybe half of it. Once the consistency was right it was a lot of fun to knead! Once it is thoroughly kneaded the clay is wonderful!! Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I look forward to making this clay and exploring lots of clay creations far into the future.

I make your original 'Best Homemade Clay' but I add about 8 squares of toilet paper 3ply separated. I add it during the kneading process 1 square 1ply (24 squares in total of 1 ply) at a time, always adding to the top of the clay, and melding it in by bending the clay backwards to ensure it mixes in properly.. (like bending a book inside out, if that makes sense).. The resulting clay is strong and easy to work with.. Does take a bit of kneading.. but its a good workout.

I can figure out the purpose of all the ingredients, except for the baking powder. I have made clay in the past using baking soda but baking powder and baking soda are two completely different products... though both are used as leavening agents in baking.

My kids and i are going to try this today but maam i have a question.. ive noticed that u've used 1 cup of all purpose flour and then another 1/3 cup.. meaning we have to use 1 and 1/3 cups of flour for this project? Thank u

[@clayitnow]

Ching Otida yes, that's right. But feel free to adjust the measurement because different weather condition will give different result. All the best and thanks.

[@Frantic618]

Not only does the humidity in the air change results, but the kind of flour does, too. There are different kinds of flour, and results will vary. Use a little less than recommended, but feel free to add more gradually if it's too sticky.

[@clayitnow]

Shilodog Smith yes, you are right. Thanks :)

Hi, i just tried out this clay. The recipe is great, but there is a small problem. Even after kneading for several minutes, the clay is sticking to my hand or any other surface. Is there any solution for this, anything would be helpful. Thank you.

[@clayitnow]

Shayeri Roy you may need to add flour a little bit :) Also, please don't knead the clay too long, keep the clay in the fridge for few hours or overnight until it's settling down and then use/ mold the clay from the fridge.

[@shayeriroy2844]

That's a lot of help. Thanks a lot. :D

I ve recently discovered your channel and l am in total love with your beautiful art! Thank you so much for sharing!!! I would like to try this clay. Can you please tell me, will the final product be strong and durable? Or should l try to make paper mache? Thank you so much!!! ❤️✨😃

[@andreaeyzaguirre6208]

Let me give u a little “baker” advice, u really don’t need to knead your clay for 20 or more min. Just do it for 7 or 10 min top, then wrap it on plastic film and let it test. That will allows that your “dough” will rest and get all the “grains” on it get moisturized. After 15 min of resting will do it. Then knead it for 5 min and I can assure you you will have better results. Ah! And never stretch any dough! That’s the easy way of stressing it and make it more “stubborn” , lol!!!

[@clayitnow]

Awesome. Thank you lovely baker😊 yup! Very true! I realized that after making few batches and put my comment on the video (please see the caption) You got it straight away. Cool! Thanks again for your advice. This must be useful for others too. 👍

Some of the trouble when others use your recipe may stem from measurements not being standardised. In Australia, a cup is 250ml, where in UK its 284 ml, USA its 236.5 ml …

Hi, how are you? Your work is very beautiful. I would like to ask you if the flour or the corn flour causes decay in the project when time passes where a very small insect appears causing damages in the work. Maybe the vinegar and the salt would prevent appearing such problem? Please reply me as soon as possible because I am very interested in applying projects with paper clay. Thank you very much.

Was wondering if the clay can be used for a mould for a 3D plaster hand print. Or is it to elastic to keep the impression?

[@mistresstlc210]

I’d be more worried of it capturing a true detailed cast! Did this work?

[@terrijuanette486]

To measure the water, you used a 1/2 Cup measuring cup for volume measuring, but you did not fill it full. It is only "1/2 Cup" when filled to the top edge - as much as it can hold - so you did not actually use 1/2 cup of water unless you poured some of into the mix prior to filming. From what I saw in the video, you actually used about 1/3 cup water not 1/2 cup. Just an FYI: If you want accurate liquid measures, the only way to do so is to use a liquid measuring cup (like a Pyrex liquid measuring cup) and, while measuring, you need to be looking at the liquid at eye level with it - not looking at it from above. To do that usually requires bending down to get at eye level. This is crucial for measurements to be exact. This clay does not appear to need exact measures but other things require it, so I share this in hopes that it helps someone out there. Vaya con Dios

Hi, I have seen a lot of recipes, still haven't tried any. Do you know why some use flour or cornstarch and some use baby powder? Are those with flour air dry clay and the baby powder more similar to cold porcelain? Thanks, nice work 😊

[@clayitnow]

Indeed there are many homemade clay recipe. People (including myself) experimenting with different type of flour or other contents. You have to try one that suit you most. I tried many and concluded that I've found best recipe for myself and sharing that with everyone here. Thanks for watching my video.

[@christineanderson4643]

Jaqlinny .....so that would make this a combination of cold porcelain and chinese air dry. Which of these is the strongest when dry?

[@jasonacyeo]

I saw many different recipes, but I think yours is the most comprehensive and good. My question is that, will it shrink when dried over time ? Will it become more stable, meaning doesn't shrink much if we add paper as an ingredient ? Thanks

[@clayitnow]

Thanks for your comment. The clay will not shrink a lot because it is flour base and it becomes more stable when we add tissue paper 😊 Btw, the clay will not shrink once it's dry.

[@cindysplace8984]

use wood glue instead of white glue...that's what i did and no cracking

[@jeansvoboda586]

OK. . . I have never done this before, so tried it today. Seems to be OK and holds its shape. Just had a big problem in the beginning. I did clean my cup out with water from the glue and measured it....When I added the 1/2 C of water, I lessened it by the 1 T. My mixture was like lumpy, thick pancake batter. Mine never looked like yours and could not take it out of the bowl with my fingers. At the end when I had added the cornstarch and the other flour, it was still too running. Very sticky no matter what I did. I ended up adding 2 more T. of flour and then another T. of cornstarch. I kneaded it for 45 minutes. It looks like yours and holds it shape, but still may stick to my table. Do you have any ideas of what to do? I do live in the desert in California, so we don't have very much humidity. . . . I don't think that's the problem. Any suggestions will be totally appreciated. Thank you for the video and all the wonderful instructions....You are so talented on everything you do and I love watching your videos. Happy crafting. Take care and God bless. Jeannie😊

[@clayitnow]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Have you tried adding cooking oil or baby oil? Your clay may become soft if you add too much oil but few drops of it will increase it's flexibility. Keep trying and find your own right muxture. All the best 🥰🤗

[@clayitnow]

Lim Oungcheng try to make model with thin layer of clay and apply a layer of oil or glue. Sometimes the clay cracks because the clay shrink too fast. So, keep experimenting with your homemade Clay until you are familiar with its character and you'll be okay. All the best and thank you.

[@debcobern312]

It's the water evaporating out. That is why to make a good DIY clay you really should try the "cold porcelain" recipes that just use cornstarch and no flour and definitely NO WATER!

[@valentinaheart3345]

I made a little house project in December 2020, using a similar airdry clay, only it had rice flour. It too contained glue and oil i think maybe vinegar, not sure about the rest. Anyway, the project dried really hard and I added a couple or layers of acrylic paint as well as sealed it with 3-4 layers of transparent lacquer. It stayed on a shelf since then only for me to notice it had been eaten by flour bugs. They drilled through it all despite it being hard and painted over. Now, have you had anything similar happen? Because I've used your recipe on another project which I've given away. It will be really awkward if I get it back in a couple of years all drilled through.

[@sallie6]

I want to make this for my grandaughter but we bought the crayola air dried clay and found it wasn't strong and broke after drying...is your clay strong? does it tear or fall apart after drying?

[@clayitnow]

Sometimes I use Crayola too...it's brittle when it's not fully dry but it will slowly harden and becomes stronger. Once it's dried, spray varnish to protect your clay. I've found that's ok for me. My homemade clay dry hard and strong but of course if you throw it hard to the floor, it may broken like porcelain :) But, I like claying with my homemade clay because I am familiar with it now.
