How Do You Make Homemade Clay For Making Ornaments?
Here is that recipe for homemade clay that you played with (and probably ate!) when you were a kid. It is still just as much fun to play with and use to create your own elaborate ornaments with as it was back then. Step 1 Mix 4 c. flour, 1 c. salt, some food coloring and enough water to moisten. Step 2 Mix the ingredients, adding water until you have the desired consistency. The clay should be stiff but still hold together when rolled into a ball. Step 3 Store in refrigerator to avoid spoiling until you are ready to create your own Christmas tree ornaments. Step 4 Cut the clay with cookie cutters or a sharp knife. Or mold it into a variety of shapes – anything from vegetables to motorcycles. Step 5 Dry the objects after they have been shaped by baking in the oven at 200 degrees F for about 10 minutes. They can then be painted.
