Super Cool Modeling Clay Recipes

Steps:

• Blend all the ingredients together in a saucepan. Cook the mixture slowly (here's where an adult should help), stirring constantly in til the clay pulls away from the side of the pan and you can no longer move the spoon.
• Remove the mixture from the pan and, after it cools a bit, knead it until it becomes smooth and pliable.
• Store in a zip lock bag or tightly sealed container to keep it fresh. If for some reason it does dry out a little, add a few drops of oil and water then knead it again to make it as good as new.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix all ingredients together until you have a soft ball of dough-if too dry add a bit of water.
• Sprinkle some flour on counter and knead it until smooth and stretchy.
• Shape the dough any way you want-use a toothpick or straw for making holes.
• When finished shaping, put on cookie sheet and bake 20 minutes or until hard-timing depends on size of your piece of art.
• Place on wire rack to cool.
• Once cool, you can paint them.
• When paint is dry a clear varnish can be added to give your creation a wonderful shine.

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients in medium saucepan until blended. Stir in water and oil.
• Cook on medium heat 5 min. or until mixture forms ball, stirring frequently.
• Transfer to plate; cool slightly.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together well.
• Keep in sealed container.

Steps:

• Trim the crust away from the bread.
• Pinch the bread into very small pieces.
• Slowly pour the glue into the bread pieces and mix by hand until a dough has formed.
• Package the dough in a plastic bag or airtight container and refrigerate overnight to "ripen.".
• Lightly coat your hands with vegetable oil if dough is not too sticky to handle.
• Knead the ripened dough until smooth and pliable.
• Divide dough and color with food coloring or acrylic paints if desired.
• The addition of the liquid in the form of coloring will cause the dough to become a little sticky again, but just keep on working the dough - it will regain its manageable state.
• Model dough into desired shapes and insert twisted pipe cleaners into the backs of your figures for hanging or simply form a hole with a toothpick.
• Air dry on wax paper.
• It will take from 1 to 3 days, depending on the thickness of your ornament.
• Can also roll and cut this clay.
• Keep in airtight container in refrigerator.
