Oven Flour Clay Recipe
Instructions for making clay using flour, salt, and
water.
* 2 Cups Flour
* 1 Cup Salt
* 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
* 3/4 - 1 Cup Water
Instructions:
Mix together flour and salt. Add the oil and then slowly
add the water and stir until you get a nice clay
consistency. Once completely mixed, make into the
desired shapes. Bake in a 250 degree oven for
approximately 1 hour. This will vary depending on how
thick you creations are. One hint, do not make shapes
too thick or they will crack with baking.
A variation on this recipe is using 4 Cups of Flour, 1
cup of Salt, and 1 1/2 Cups of Water. Your creations can
be baked at 300 degrees for about an hour.
For a golden appearance, paint your creations with egg
yolk before you put it in the oven. If you like color,
you can paint them with acrylic paints after they are
baked and cooled. These can make great Christmas
ornament. |
