The other day my sweet granddaughter came over and wanted to make homemade modeling clay so she could make some charms. So, of course the first thing I did was pull out my video camera so that y’all could learn from her as she made the clay! lol
I have never made clay or play dough, so this was fun for me, too!
Here’s all the ingredients you’ll need:
Food Coloring
2 1/2 cups Flour
1 1/2 TBSP Cream Of Tartar
2 1/2 cups Salt
2 1/2 cups Water
5 TBSP Vegetable Oil
Combine water, salt, cream of tartar, and food coloring. Put it all in a your saucepan and stir until well mixed.
Cook the mixture constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture is hot. Then, add in the vegetable oil, continue stirring.
Begin adding flour slowly. Add one cup at a time and stirring well as you go. It will begin getting thicker and harder to mix, continue mixing.
After you have added all of the dough and it begins to get stiff and come away from the sides of the pan, turn it off and turn it out on wax paper to cool.
Once it’s cool enough you can start kneading it until it’s smooth.
Store in airtight container, it can be kept for months.
Yields 4 cups of clay.
