Loved your video.. New subscriber. Also you said about drying for 4-5days, should we keep the craft we did in the sun for drying or just leave it not touching for 5days?

[@havenslilartcorner325]

Thank you. That is the recipe I use to make playdough for my kid's. I just add half to1/3 cup of salt. For me it doesn't crack when air dryed so much. An to color it. I use powder drink mix. (Kool-aid) it makes it smell good. An gives great color. An i don't worrie about my 3 yr old eating some. Lol I use clear spray paint to seal min. Thank you for sharing the paint idea for color. I will use that when I work with it. 😊

[@CreativeCatCreations]

Yeah even i make playdough for my kid with this, i just mix food colors for different colors that way it stays nontoxic....your kool aid trick is really cool...gotta try next time...thank you for ideas Haven😊😍

[@skandacs8566]

what is cool aid?

Kool aid is a brand of flavoured milk available in US

Yes. Most any powdered drink mix would work as well.

[@laurenpiantino8312]

I'm gonna try your recipe; however, I'm perplexed by folk here whom have said that their dough got infected with fungus and pests... I've been making Christmas decorations from dough for years and never had a problem with either fungus or pests. Of course as soon as they're dry I put a base coat on them, then an acrylic coat, and then varnish them. I've never used salt in my dough tho... My decorations have lasted for at least a dozen years without any problems such as described. In any event your video was great! Thank you for sharing. :)

[@CreativeCatCreations]

Yeah true, even i use my Christmas ornaments for years...you just need to seal them with varnish as soon as they dry...salt works as preservative....may be people dont follow the instructions properly

[@CreativeArtbyRoja]

It's depend upon the weather of your city or country but if we apply acrylic court and one is to eat it will last longer so we have to apply it after drying

[@laurenpiantino8312]

@@CreativeArtbyRoja I don't believe that I quite understood what you are saying, sorry... We are talking about ornamental decorations, not edible decorations. I'm also confused by you saying that it depends on one's country or climate for making these decorations. Growing up I made these in my home state, Tennessee, also I made them in Chicago and Florida; since my Mother is English, I've also made them in the UK too, and then again in France and the Isle of Man; in fact, wherever I am in the world, I still make them for friends and family. Never had a problem with the different climates. I always knew as a child that these were not edible decorations/ornaments, and would never eat anything coated in paint and varnish of any sort.

Hi by seeing ur vd we had made a clay bt proprtion of material tooksmall in quantity bt it requires more maida...we used cornstrach lets see hw it make..

[@anhilde4421]

Thank you for your effort, Cat. I am long searching for a home made clay recipe to make my bowls and dishes and, after several other failed attempts, I tried this recipe, but unfortunately this doesn't fit the bill either. It was way too soft and sticky and I had to add much more flour to make it manageable. But it stayed soft and gooey and difficult -not to say impossible- to form it into a nice, thin layer. It cracked while drying and seems not to dry completely. In short: probably works well for little ornaments as seen in the video, but not for bigger projects like bowls and (jewelery) dishes. So I continue to use store bought air-dry clay. I'm sorry, Cat.

[@JDRobertson]

Did you ever find a recipe that works? Please share it if you want. I'm looking for the same kind of home made clay.

[@elifaniler832]

First of all, you are giving great practical information. Thank you very much. I'd like to ask you a question about your homemade clay. Can we use it immediately after making the homemade clay or do we have to wait for a while? And are you hiding this clay at room temperature or in the fridge? Again thank you so much 🤗❣😍

[@CreativeCatCreations]

thank you😊 You can use the homemade clay immediately after making if necessary but I will advise you to rest it overnight for better consistency. You can store it at room temperature, no need of refrigeration
