How To Make No Cook Cold Porcelain - The Complete Process

[@richardbaron3921]

You are truly a craft princess. I’m 76 and had a porcelain/ceramic business for many years. Now that I’m older and not as strong as I used to be. This method will cure my creative side. Thanks so much

If you're sensitive to smells, you can use mineral oil. It's exactly the same as baby oil, but fragrance free and way cheaper. It's usually found in the laxative aisle.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Yes you can use a variety of oils. I like baby oil because of the soft smell that is gentle enough for babies, and also because it's easily found at the Dollar Tree or probably even Walmart for about a dollar. So for me it works. But yes you can use mineral oil or avocado oil or olive oil....which ever you prefer 😊 Hugs....Janie

[@violettadivineart.v6871]

If you lightly glaze some baby oil over the inside of your measuring cup for the glue with your finger or a piece of cloth, before you put the glue in to measure it, it slides out without sticking to the side of the cup. No need for a spoon to get it all out. 🙂 Nice video.

To make them waterproof and even harder got to varnish 😊 that little butterfly is so cute ❤ I want to make useful items like trinket trays I love those never have lost any jewelry as long as I use one

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Thank you so much 😊 I have never had to use varnish, but that is good advice, thank you. I guess I have never worrired about them being waterproof and never tested to see. I make mine for craft projects and jewelry, so they never get soaked in water, and I have been able to wipe them with a wet cloth with no problem. But I will definitely keep your suggestion in mind should I ever make something that might get soaked in water. As for hardness, I can't imagine thing any harder than what they are, but again, it never hurts for extra protection. Thanks for your comment 💗 Hugs....Janie

Only problem is that it's already so late. I'll be trying this out for sure. Thank you for sharing.

Will be trying this new recipe very soon, and thank you for being so thorough! I made my first batch from another recipe recently and poured many hours into several projects only for all of them (and my heart, haha) to crack into pieces while drying. I've tried several different things to remedy this problem but am fairly sure now it was just a poor recipe I fell upon. Very discouraging but seeing your results has me excited to try again! Thanks!!

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Thank you for watching. I'm not sure what recipes you have used before or why they didn't work. I have never had anything I've made with this recipe crack, let alone crack into pieces. I can imagine how frustrating that must be. Mine come out beautiful and solid and strong. My advice is to watch my video closely and follow every step, and use any tips I offer as I go along. Question.....are you allowing the things you make to air dry, or are you trying to speed things up by using an oven? This needs to air dry and is not for ovens. I hope you have good luck with this and I would love to hear your results :) Hugs....Janie

[@SashasRevenge]

I wouldn’t ever use olive oil because it can and will go rancid and spoil. If you want to condition your cutting board for example I would suggest mineral oil, to do that as well. I’m not sure about using mineral oil, in your porcelain dough however, as I’ve never tried it. Great video and I appreciate you taking the time to show us how you make it. Have a great Thanksgiving honey! BTW, Crafters will always have a bit of mess somewhere until it’s clean up time, and that’s being honest.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

I have never used olive oil for this even though there are many people that have used olive oil and vegetable oil. The lemon juice acts as a preservative. I prefer baby oil. I have watched videos where people have all kinds of oils and even lotion. But like I said, I prefer baby oil. I'm happy you like my video.....thank you so much. And yes, us crafters tend be surrounded by messes until we are done with out projects 😊 Thanks for stopping by. You have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well 💗 Hugs....Janie

I'm guessing it's been a while since you have done this. Did you use the cooked recipe or this no-cook recipe? I have used the cooked recipe and made a video a few years ago, but after someone asking me about the no-cook version I decided to check it out and give it a try. At this point I don't see a difference even though I would think the cooking would make it stronger......but it seems just as strong. Have fun :) Hugs...Janie

Just curious. You mentioned that you use baby oil because you like the smell. Once you stir everything together, can you still smell it or the lemon juice?

Like I said, dry heat, dry cold, dry snow. I can definitely understand your humidity effecting the recipe. I'm sure that is the problem others are having when they tell me it's "soupy".

[@Viola5501]

Can you use the clay for bigger projects.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Bigger than what? I have no idea what size you are wanting to make. But if you are wanting to know if you can make something bigger than jewelry yes. However the thickness may affect things. The thicker it is, the longer it will take to dry. I have had a whole roll dry when I had forgot about it, so that was at least an inch thick.. If you are wanting to make something long, sure that will work. But seriously, this is so inexpensive, why don't you just make a batch and give it a try? That's how I learn.....by trying things and seeing how it works out 😊

[@christiedecker2724]

I have been using cold porcelain to create life-like flowers for sale many years. Recently, I started making items in molds to diversify my wares. I wanted to have the items still wet to glue them on applications that were not always flat, so need the molded clay to be able to curve. Well, I took a hint from the chocolate making community...I put the mold in the freezer and when frozen it pops right out easily and still in the proper shape allowing me to reuse the mold with an hour instead of having to wait overnight or longer for it to dry. I haven't tried that method with this clay yet, but as it does not shrink or at least doesn't to the extent that the cooked version does, I haven't proven that it would work in this application, but I believe it would work here just as well. I will try making my lifelike flowers with this version also, if it works, it would save time, electricity from using the microwave, multiple steps,...if it does work. Thank you for sharing this video. Just seeing it for the first time on January 5, 2021. Blessings!

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Sounds like you use it a lot more than I do......I would love to see what you make. I have another video on the cooked (microwave) method but find this no cook method less messy. I hope it works for you the way you want it to. I have only let it air dry and never thought about freezing it and am not sure how that will work. I freeze soap when I make it instead of letting it set over night.....quicker and easy to release from the molds. Let me know how that works with the cold porcelain when you try it.

OK, I made the clay as you instructed. It was like soup in my bowl. I added more cornstarch. I had to add a lot more cornstarch. I am testing out the molding method, but thus far, I prefer the cooked version by far. This would not work, for creating the life-like flowers, unfortunately. I may try it out on other applications, but not the flowers. Thanks for your efforts. Blessings!

[@janiethecraftprincess]

@@christiedecker2724 I'm sorry you had this experience, but with this no cook method there is no way you followed the directions and had it look like soup.....it is physically impossible with there being more cornstarch (or even equal cornstarch) than the liquid ingredients, especially with thick liquid ingredients like glue. I didn't just give you a recipe, I recorded it so you can watch and see what to expect, and as you saw it was VERY THICK and not liquid at all. At 11:55 minutes into the video, right after I first mixed it, you can see the spoon standing up by itself in the mixture while I'm putting on my gloves. I'm not sure where you went wrong......what part of the ingredients that you misread.....but you might want to try it again. The consistency and texture is identical to the cooked version and does make beautiful flowers. I hope you try it again and double check my ingredients and watch the video again. I really think you will like this, but if not, just stick with the cooked version :) Hugs....Janie

Thanks for the great tutorial! I suppose sealing it with a resin or other waterproof sealer will protect it from water.

But this is better for making larger batches. Looking forward to trying it!

Thanks for stopping by. I have never sealed and not sure it needs sealing. It's pretty solid with a smooth finish. But it's totally up to you.

I am a Tole painter and so I am new to polymer clay. I am hoping to make and use embelishments for the bottles I paint and decoupage. I really appreciated how you took the time to go through every step of your tutorial. I tried it, but need some advice. I don't know if the weather has an effect on how it comes out, but when I mixed everything together, I had a consistency of thick runny melted cheese! The only thing I used that was different was Canola oil. I live in the high desert in California so the weather is really nice. It's 51° and the humidity is 47%. I had to add about 3 more tsp of cornstarch to get it like yours and it still doesn't look right. Seems a bit dry. . .tiny little bumps. . Tried the oil on my hands and teardrop seems the same. Not really sure if it will work. Suggestions will be appreciated! Thank you for the GREAT teaching! HAPPY CRAFTING🤗 Jeannie . .sorry this is sooo long.🙄

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Hi.....thanks for stopping by. I'm not sure if Canola oil makes a difference but it might. I don't think the weather would make a difference unless you're making it outside.....it's more what the "weather" is like in your house. But I still don't know if that would really matter. I live in Montana where it is cooler temps than CA (I used to live in the Inland Empire about 25 years ago).....and it's usually on the dry side here (we have what is called dry snow....like styrofoam LOL). Are you using corn STARCH or corn FLOUR? The reason I ask is that I have discovered some people are getting the two confused and should be using corn starch. Also, as I went along you see that I did add more corn starch. Since you mention "tiny little bumps", I'm wondering if you are not getting it mixed thoroughly which would mean the corn starch is not getting distributed completely. I'm also confused when you first mention it being the consistency of thick runny melted cheese, and then later mention it being a bit dry. And then you mention that the tear drop seems the same, but then you are not sure if it will work. So there are some contradictory things which is confusing me so I'm not sure how to help exactly. But since you have already made it, have you tried using it? And if so, how were the results? I think if you have made it you should try it and see what happens. So the best advice I have is to add the additional corn starch or oil a little at a time and be sure it is thoroughly mixed before adding more. And knead it well, not just a little but for several minutes. And you might try a different oil. I have never had it be the consistency of runny cheese, and someone else recently complained it was the consistency of soup, which I have also never seen and don't even understand how it's even possible with the ration of dry ingredients to wet ingredients. The glue by itself is thicker than soup and more like the runny melted cheese, so adding the corn starch (which is a thickner, like you would use to thicken what you're cooking) should thicken it up. The reason I made the video was so my viewers could SEE it actually being made and how it turned out, so you can see what my results are. Please let me know what your results are. Oh and you apologized for your long question......and I'll apologize for my looooong answer....hee hee hee :) Hugs.....Janie

@@janiethecraftprincess Thank you for your fast reply. Sorry I confused you!🤔 The "MELTED CHEESE" part was when I first mixed everything together. It was soooo runny and sticky. . . Not like yours . . Could hardly get it out of the dish let alone knead it. The "a bit dry" was after adding the additional Cornstarch. I used Cornstarch not Corn Flower. I haven't tried it yet. I will this afternoon. If it doesn't work I will make a new batch using Olive oil. Thanks again and HAPPY CRAFTING!🤗👍

Thank you....I'm happy this was helpful. To answer your question, no it does not really shrink. In fact of you watch the video you can see before I take it out of the molds that it has barely shrunk away from the edges.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

@@KnoviceCosplay I'm glad you watched because I want people to see with their own eye instead of me just saying it. I think you will have fun with this cold porcelain. I have used it in molds and with cookie cutters and freehand. Be sure to give it plenty of time to dry.....the thicker the object the longer it will take. And let it air dry....do not try to speed it up with heat. Be sure the "dough" is soft and stretchy.....it's not like other "clays" that have a firm texture. I just wanted to point that out because of a recent question I got. Have fun :) Hugs....Janie

[@robinraven4]

Can you pop them out of the molds prior to completely drying, like you can with store bought clay? I'm wanting to shape a mold around objects I'm working with.

Yes, you can definitely remove it from the molds before it is dry. Usually you can remove it from the molds immediately, depending on the mold. I have seen many people do what you are wanting to do. Have fun 😊

[@joannehall9180]

Hello, I really enjoyed your video. I have been using cold porcelain for about a year, but I just recently started putting it in molds. I was wondering if you have trouble with it bowing. Mine isn’t drying flat. It’s rounded when it’s dried. If so, could you give me any tips on how to get it to dry flat. Thank you so much.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Hi 😊 Yes I do have a problem with it bowing......well not all of them, only the thinner ones. However, I haven't tried this yet, but I have seen people pop them out of the molds right after they mold it, and then apply it to whatever they are making with it. I don't know if you take it out and lay it flat if that will prevent the bowing. But.....I have tried with deeper intricate molds (like roses) and it doesn't come out good until it's completely dry. I do love that the butterflies curve though, it adds realistic dimension. But I do not have any bowing issues with most molds, just the thin ones. I don't know if this information helps, but I hope so. Thank you for stopping by 😊 Hugs....Janie

[@joyceengland3947]

Never made this before. Looks pretty simple. I saw another ideo where they said not to wear latex glove but the other kind. Maybe?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

You don't have to wear latex gloves.....it just helps keep the cold porcelain from sticking to your hands and making a mess. Then you can just take the gloves off and throw them away. But there is no other reason to use the gloves. There is nothing toxic or harmful in the ingredients as I'm sure you can see :) Hugs...Janie

Well that is a very good question. I have never heard of anyone doing that or seen anyone do that, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. It might be messier than doing it by hand. Next time I make some I'm going to try mixing it all in a ziplock bag so I can knead it without getting it all over my hands.....might be a little less messy.

Does it mold? Im planning on making this soon

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Mold? Like does it get moldy? No....not at all.....not ever. The lemon juice or vinegar is probably what prevents that....but really I've never known any clay or modeling substance to get moldy. And honestly, there is nothing in this to mold. But you know.....it's a good question I guess. I hope I have helped.

[@chandrikadreddy37]

How do we fix the rings and hooks ,they are hard as rock dear.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Yes they are hard as a rock.....it's suppose to be. Since you are asking about hooks and rings I'm guessing you are wanting to make jewelry and not embellishments. To create holes for jump rings, I use a tooth pick to poke a hole through while it's still soft. For pendants I glue a bale to the back after it's hard. I hope this helps. 😊

[@chrissiemac8500]

will this cling well to papier mache or would it need to be glued in some way first? And can it be sanded when dry?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

I would imagine it would need some sort of adhesive to adhere to papier mache or anything else. I have only used it to make embellishments and jewelry (as you saw in the video) so it's already hard at that point. I guess you could always give it a try.....it's not like it's expensive to make. And as for your question about "can it be sanded".....anything can be sanded, but why would you want to? It has such a beautiful finish. I have never sanded it because I like the smoothe finish, but like I said, you can alway give it a try. You could always make a half batch to experiment with.....it costs pratically nothing to make. Have fun 😊

@@janiethecraftprincess Many thanks. What I am intending it for is the final layer of clay on two very big floor standing flat faced, decorative vases. And because the area needs to be flat and totally smooth I can't do a level, wrinkle free, line free, stroke free area. The final product will be high gloss which would show any irregularities.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

@@chrissiemac8500 I'm not sure what you are planning to use to mold the cold porcelain, but it dries beautifully smooth like silk. If the mold has texture obviously the finished result will have texture. If you are freehanding it I'm sure you can keep it smoothe. I highly suggest experimenting with it before doing such a special project. Good luck.

[@chrissiemac8500]

@@janiethecraftprincess I was thinking of just... smearing it on? Like I do with the papier mache clay. It to cover a broad flat area and unless I some how can adhere it and then use something like a rolling pin to flatten it out/smooth it out, I don't know any other way. I've never used it before but the "Porcelain" part of it would suit the finished look I am trying to achieve with the vase. The papier mache does not smooth out enough and the more I try to smooth it the more the fine paper bits come to the surface. I was hoping that I didn't have to sand the entire thing. One vase stands at 1.2 metres tall.

Hi, I was wondering if you can use Elmer's wood glue or mod podge instead of Elmer's glue. Thank you.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

I wish I had a difinitive answer, but I have only used Elmer's glue. There are so many variables with Mod Podge......for example which formula do you plan on using (there are probably a dozen different Mod Podges). I am a big Mod Podge fan and pretty much own them all. I don't think any of them have the same consistency as Elmer's glue. Also Mod Podge is mostly a sealer and finish, even though it does have some adhesive properties, but probably not the same as glue. Being as this is an inexpensive formula, you might just try making a half batch and see how it works. I do know that other people have tried substituting an ingredient and the cosistency turns out wrong. But I'm a firm believer in trying things to see what happens. Good luck 😊

[@melody.diamond]

Thanks for this video, i have a question.....do the items get moldy over time? Because of lemon juice

[@janiethecraftprincess]

I have been using this for about 5 years and nothing has ever molded. The lemon juice is to prevent the growth of bacteria or fungi (got that from Wikipedia). This also has a silky smooth hard surface, unlike other modeling substances/clays. I still have some pieces that are from when I first started using this and they are still as beautiful as when I first made them. In fact, some of the pieces I showed in this video, like the necklace, are about 5 years old. I hope this helps. I also have a video with a recipe that requires cooking (in the microwave).

Preserve and which types material glossy effect

I'm not sure I understand your comment. Preserve......do you want to know how to preserve it? The vinegar or lemon juice perserves it.....and keep the unused cold poreclain wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in an air-tight container. Which types material glossy? I'm totally lost with that. This cold porcelain has a smooth, non-porous finish. If you want a glossy finish I would use a sealer on the finished project.....something like Mod Podge Glossy (brush on or spray), or a Krylon spray. I really don't know if I answered your question since I really didn't understand your comment, but I hope I helped 😊

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Thank you so much!!! I have never had it go moldy......that is what the lemon juice or vinegar is for. You keep it wrapped tightly and in an air tight container but NOT in the refridgerator. It should easily stay fresh a couple weeks but after that it starts to harden a little. It should still be usuable for about a month, just knead it with baby oil on your hands if it's not soft enough. The weather has a lot to do with it as well.....dry or humid, etc. So I suggest to NOT make a big batch unless you plan on using it within a couple weeks. I would have said in the video if it needed to be refridgerated, but I did not because it does not. I hope you have fun with this. There are so many possibilities.

Hi Janie Can you use ordinary flour?
