How to Recycle AIR DRY CLAY **easy** REUSE CLAY

[@irmaschroeder]

Truly amazing, thought my failed projects were destined for the garbage can😲 Thankyou!!🥳

[@RedRockingBird]

Amazing, so glad, thank you

[@NicoRedelinghuys]

Brilliant! This means if my lump of unused clay starts to dry out, I can "re-constitute" it and never have to throw it away!

[@RedRockingBird]

Hopefully yes, seal it in a bag with a little water I would

[@shhthisisredtoo]

this is very helpful! as a beginner I do have a lot of scrapped projects thank you so much!

[@RedRockingBird]

I'm so glad, thank you

[@nikitaashok3818]

Thanks so much for sharing this! I've been losing my mind a little trying to find as sustainable and eco-friendly a type of clay I possibly can. It's comforting knowing I might be able to get more use of unfinished works later on.

[@RedRockingBird]

Most definitely, I often make things, don’t seal them and then reuse if I know I’m not going to keep the item long or if I’m just creating for fun and not to keep the final item and don’t tell anyone but I often filter the kids bits and pieces and recycle them too as they love the process much more too, I do obviously keep their special ones but we can’t keep everything!!! ♻️ thanks and best of luck 💚

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Love that frame of mind. I hate waste. Thank you for educating us.

[@RedRockingBird]

I love to recycle.....anything and everything ❤️

[@magee113]

I never thought of THAT cool trick..., thanks Sarah!!! 😎😎😎 What I HAVE tried is kinda' cool... Instead of just breaking an old project into pieces, I have run mine over an old metal box grater and collected the shreds, added boiling water and turned it into slip. If you do a lot of sanding on your projects, do it over a bowl or something else to catch the dust - Again, add boiling water and SHAZAM.., you've made slip! HOPE you have an awesome week and as always, thanks for another great video!!! 💚 💛 💜

[@RedRockingBird]

I hope you try it. Thanks great tips. I've tried catching the dust when it's not windy outside but I always find I have little bits of sandpaper in with it too, so not useable, great you can use it, thank you 💜

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Sarah, I really really enjoyed watching you recycle your air dried clay. It’s really really amazing......how it transforms. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@RedRockingBird]

You are so welcome, I just love recycling ❤️

great idea...I hate waste, never knew you could recycle air dry clay...thanks for your inspiration 😊

[@RedRockingBird]

I'm the same, I know it's not for everyone but I'm a big believer in reduce, reuse, recycle. Thank you 😊

[@nezzysnicatees]

I have so many air dry clay projects that. Did nooooot come out as I imagined. You Have definitely enlightened me and helped me tremendously.👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RedRockingBird]

Best of luck for future projects, thank you 😊

[@exoticnovaa]

Such an amazing hack ! I have some failed air dry clay projects and I really didn't want to throw them but this is the perfect way to recycle them, thank you 💕

[@RedRockingBird]

Most definitely, I love to recycle and there is something nice and creative about the process too, enjoy 😊

[@og-fe5jh]

this was helpful! also love your air dry clay idea videos, i hope you make more of these, i love your ideas!!

Thank you, I will do!

[@creamcookies6132]

Thank you for this! Good thing I didn't throw out my bits of dried clay 👍😻❤️

[@RedRockingBird]

Very good thing…happy recycling 😊🤍

[@chrisharrison5974]

Amazing, can I do this with unused clay that has dried up ? Love your videos, lots of inspiration and you have such a relaxing voice 🤩🥰

[@RedRockingBird]

You sure can yes, if solid I’d put in a bag with a little water for a few days and see what happens 🪄🤩

[@jacquelinehyde7054]

Hi Sarah I have a project that didn’t work out but I have painted it with an air brush using thinned down airbrush paint. Will this process of re hydrating work do you think with air dry clay that has been painted ? really appreciate your videos and tutorials, thank you

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, Depends on the type of air brush paint, if it really is ruined, then no harm in trying it out ☺️🌸 thanks for watching, I hope you give it a whirl

[@arealworm]

Could you potentially leave it in the jar in that pasty form to use as an adhesive for future air dry clay projects?

[@RedRockingBird]

yes most definitely, like I did in the air dry clay slip video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHK5gGqfa52Was0 thanks

[@maggiefletcherscuriouscelt4199]

Yay! I was hoping I could do something like this!

[@RedRockingBird]

You're welcome, I love how it come back together like this

[@Christina-zp4zm]

What is the best way to clean the jar after?

[@RedRockingBird]

Remove the loose bit and put in bin or save then soak in warm water

[@Kfqb-db2kn]

Can you do this with crayola air dry clay, and can it still work after it dried for 3 days

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes sure, I don’t use crayola, but it still soaks up the water the same

[@Nixa]

Does this work for jovi air dry clay?

[@RedRockingBird]

I’ve not used Jovi, but it should do yes

[@shwetapatil2753]

1 question . If it is fully dry like rock and stucked on a surface then what can I do 😭😭😭

[@RedRockingBird]

Is it stuck to a porous surface? It will try to stick to a porous surface, but once fully dry would lift straight off a smooth non porous surface. I’d get something like a table knife and try to get the flat of it under it, best of luck, let me know how you get on ❤️

[@LadyB_20]

A good way to reuse and repurpose failed pieces

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, glad you found it useful

[@ashsbaos6976]

hi really great video!! but i need to ask if the original hot water is cooled down should i replace it with more hot water or leave it be?

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, we boil the water to clean it, so it does not need to be boiling or hot when you use it no, although a bit of warmth could speed up the process, it's not necessary. Best of luck 😊

[@ke11yk]

Thank you for this! I'm doing this now! Is there anyway to recycle the clay if it's been painted oe sealed or are those doomed to the garbage??

[@RedRockingBird]

It’s always worth doing the same with it in a separate container from the rest and see what happens, in the hope that the paint and sealant breaks down too, I’d try it

[@ke11yk]

@@RedRockingBird I'll give it a go and let you know what happens!

For how much time we have to put it in the boiled water Pls tell the time duration.

[@RedRockingBird]

Keep turning it and manipulating it until it comes back to a good consistency

[@itstetulina]

Can I recycle the same if the clay was painted and varnished??? Great video, thank you!! ♥

[@RedRockingBird]

It should be the bare dry clay to work well. Thank you 😊

[@Brxlightz]

Im going to try this in the morning, most of my clay dried up. I hope that it works

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, The air dry clay that I use doesn't seem to even soften even if left for many days. It becomes rock hard.

regular air dry clay will soften in water with a lid on and no additives, polymer clay or light clay will not

@@RedRockingBird can I use homemade air dry clay?

[@Chloe445]

My dry clay I broke up dose not seem to become clay it's just thick slip

[@RedRockingBird]

Leave it longer to dry and keep stirring, the moisture had to eventually evaporate some more

[@Chloe445]

It's been out for like 10days

[@robot7759]

That's all very nice and well, however,... I had a 500 gram packet, used just a little bit and because of circumstances I forgot all about it. Had it wrapped up nice and securely, however not preventing it from hardening over time. About a year later I rediscovered it and threw the solid chunck in a fitting container... to forget about it again. About two months later I mushed it up with a putty knife and squished it into a letter mold... wish me luck?
