Hey guys! Today I thought I'd try something a little bit different. I know a lot of you like when I make crafts with household items, so I decided to make CLAY using 3 things you probably already have at home. I've been seeing so many cute air dry clay pieces on my TikTok "for you" page, and I've been dying to try it. Let me know if you make any of these!

@@MeganWeller no problem you’re my inspiration me and my dad watch you 24/7 and I literally watch your videos over and over because there so amazing and creative
this was so helpful! i loved it! i tried to make some a while ago but it was super thin and didn’t hold. i’m going to try your method since it seems much better!
I swear this girl knows what I am doing. I was literally got all my clay stuff out and was on Pinterest trying to figure out what I’m going to make. Then I got the notification.😧😄
Being an Indian, our usual meal all over our country are 'chapatis' or you can say flat bread. As it is so usual, I remember when i was a little kid, my mum used to make the dough and I sneakily took some part and do all these projects, and just kept it overnight to dry and painted all over it! I recalled those precious days by seeing this video of yours
I was planning on making my own chess set out of air-dry clay and I'm glad I came across this video. instructions were clear and I might need to make the paintbrush holder
Megan - If you want to try beads again form them around a knitting needle then suspend them by placing the ends of the knitting needle on the sides of say a bread pan or square baking pan . or you could use a chop stick and cupcake pan .
You just unlocked a memory in my life! Idk if it's just an Italian thing, but I remember when I was little we used to do at summer camp sooooo much stuff with salt dough! I guess it was cute, cheap and had the kids entertained
These crafts are adorable, the heart one is my favourite, it’s so pretty. I also feel like you could actually make Play-Doh out of this if you add food colouring to it, well that’s if food colouring won’t affect the mixture
Thank you so much!! I love that you wrote the ingredients down at the same time so we can pause it! Ive been looking for a good video with this recipe and this is perfect!!!
This method is really great if we can buy so many items but I would like to recommend an idea...This method is a VERY time consuming but if you grab any non dust eraser and collect it's shavings, then mix them all you can make a pretty good clay. I do this ALL THE TIME when I'm at classes or school writing with a pencil
Aah thank you so much ❤ I made this clay a while ago and baked it without drying it expanded and broke into pieces...... I'll try it again and dry it first 😅
the mountain brush holder is a super clever idea! it reminds me of the ice king from adventure time lol. Also i appreciate you sharing your fails! that's super useful for other artists to learn from AND it shows others that everyone messes up and no one is perfect :)
If anyone wants to make an alternative air-dry clay... SUPPLIES • ½ cup of cornstarch • 4 oz white glue • 1 TBS lemon juice • 2 TBS oil STEPS 1. Add ½ cup of cornstarch, then 4 oz of glue. 2. Mix them together until there’s a smooth icing-like consistency. 3. Add 2 tbs of oil and 1 tbs then give a quick mix. 4. Pop in the microwave for 30 seconds, take out give it a quick mix and place back in for 30 seconds. 5. After it's done take a wooden spoon and move it around the bowl until it has a dough-like consistency. 6. Remove clay and place on parchment paper, and gently knead it with cornstarch until it’s no longer sticky. It should have a smooth creamy texture.
My mom used to make this for me to play with and be creative with when i was little. We called it trolldeig (troll dough in english). It was so much fun❤️
This video is amazing it is so inspiring and it is very clear and easy to make the clay . The clay will look different if you use a different types of flowers like I used whole wheat flour and it looks kind of brown but that’s OK cause when I make something I will just paint over it😊
I’ve been wanting to get into clay but avoided it due to the startup cost and fear I won’t enjoy it as much as I think I will. Thank you for sharing this flour and salt air dry clay recipe and how to paint it. Would I be able to make a plate or bowl I can eat off using these methods?
Honestly I wouldn’t recommend it - I wouldn’t even recommend eating off of something made with store bought clay tbh. Since this is technically “air dry” clay it would probably be difficult to clean. If you seal it with resin or polyurethane it might work as a candy dish or something, but if you don’t seal it it would probably make everything taste salty (I made some ornaments that I didn’t seal and my cats decided they tasted pretty good, they kept licking them 😅)
Omg wth ur so creative!!!! I’m so glad I found ur channel cuz these videos remind me of stuff I used to watch and get inspired by when I was younger so now I’m gonna try to get back into crafts and stuff again
Btw you can put the clay in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute for a small thing and 2-3 minutes for bigger things it bakes really solid and even gets a little toasty
Thank you didi .Today my sister is coming to visit my place so we will try this air dry clay recipe and also make a heart shape dish for storing jewellery (actually I don't have jewellery.Will use it for something else)
Hii!! Can you please make a tutorial of the girls ( they were on thumbnails of your latest sketchbook tour ) please it would be helpful 💜😎btw you are doing great, keep going
@@nityahargewar679 cutting? Or give it a hair cut? 😂 lol sorry here is a good way Keep it in a bowl of cold AND hot water. Leave it near a windowsill for about.. 1 minute Then cut the bristles off Tell me if it doesn’t work
Yasss another post!!! I have been needing ideas from all the clay I got for Christmas! Also can you make another Cricut video? I got one for Christmas and I have been stumped on ideas. Ty bye!
HI!!!!! I loved this video! my favorite thing you made was probably either the ring holder or the heart thing. I'm wondering if you could make DIY fidget toys because I have looked literally everywhere and I can't find one video of how to do it. I feel like you would be great at making them. anyway I love your youtube channel and i love all the crafts you do!
@@reikowald3166 Do you mean like at some point in any condition(s)? It's 50% salt by volume, so as salt is a good preservative, it really shouldn''t happen, especially when dried out, painted, and sealed, etc.
HII! I've tried this and I loved it. On the first try, I dry it overnight and put it into the oven tomorrow. I was too impatient, 😃😃 so I changed the temperature higher and shortened the time. When done, the clay cracked. I made it again the other day. But this time I am trying to lower the temperature and make the time longer. I'm happy that this time it doesn't get cracked.
Omg thank you soooo much i have been really wanting to make some things with clay but i didnt have anything for the other recipes on RUclips and this is perfect. If any one has tried this can you pls tell me if i shoukd look out for certain mistakes 😬😬.
I've been watching many videos on how to make it. Thnx so much 💓 I heard that if you add some dish soap there won't be cracks idk though I haven't tried it yet but I definitely will
Your an amazing you deserve all the credit you get I wanted to ask if you could do a nother what to do when you're bored pls or a room organisation video 😊
@@graceroselys YES! I made one for my mom for mothers day last year and she loves it! You kinda have to do a layer of varnish or mod podge then a layer of paint then another layer of varnish.

Hello! Just asking if they I can just leave them to air dry and not microwave them?
" It's safe for animals and 'small humans'. " This is how I'm gonna refer to children now.
Lol, I was afraid if I said “kids” I’d be demonetized 😅💜
@@MeganWeller Oh! Well, technically they are the same thing so... You're not wrong.
Lol! Same 😆
@@MoonlitBookworm73 yeaahh love that idea, imma start calling em animals too😂😝
@@dahlia9423 Perfect plan lol
“It’s safe for animals and small humans” LOL SMALL HUMANS HAHHAHA
Me (small human)
I swear this girl knows what I am doing. I was literally got all my clay stuff out and was on Pinterest trying to figure out what I’m going to make. Then I got the notification.😧😄
Wow that’s crazy 😅 Hope this gives you some ideas! 💜
So true
how good does it work?
The same scenario happened to me 😂😂
I love how you like everybody’s comment
I try to like/respond to as many as I can! 💜
@@MeganWeller This is how my family made bread dough and play dough in Cuba.
ikr!

I'm planing to make the same thing for a close friend of mine !!
Omg I was just thinking about clay and then this showed up! Tysm!
Same I’ve been trying to get into making things with clay
Plot twist: your phone can read your mind😳
Hmm this is weird
Same
Lol
Planning on making this! I'll update when I do it
Edit: It was great! I made a lil frog for my friends bday and she loved it thx!!
Can we just appreciate how clean and perfect her heart was in this clip - 4:13 !!
I was more amazed about how clean her oven was!
This is so cool cause everyone can do it with stuff they have
Thank you! 💜
Yayy I watch a lot of these recipes but getting this from u makes me feel comfortable, I know this will definitely work ❣️
Megan - If you want to try beads again form them around a knitting needle then
suspend them by placing the ends of the knitting needle on the sides of say a
bread pan or square baking pan . or you could use a chop stick and cupcake pan .
Great idea!
Me: man I’m hungry
Megan: we are going for sort of a cone shape
Me: WHERES THE ICE CREAM 🍦
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! For a school project we where instructed to make a totem pole and I needed clay for it!! NOW I CAN MAKE ONE!!
I remember doing that in like 6th grade, good luck on yours! 💜
@@MeganWeller Thank you!!!!!
A tutorial with stuff that I actually have thanks Meg
No body literally no body
Megan : small humans
Everyone: babies, children
Nope, I always said small hoomans
creepppyyyy that's what a kidnapper would say lmao 😂
I made Salt dough at school well online school i’m back in school now since November
You just unlocked a memory in my life! Idk if it's just an Italian thing, but I remember when I was little we used to do at summer camp sooooo much stuff with salt dough! I guess it was cute, cheap and had the kids entertained
Your videos are always genuinely helpful
Like how you make things easier is really amazing ✨✨✨
Thanks a lot for these tutorials 💜💜💜
Thank you so much! 💜
I love everything about your clay video. I was getting discouraged but yours is the best! Charming and wholesome.
Tysm! I've really been wanting to work with clay but sadly I don't have any money to buy polymer clay. I'm definitely going to make some of this clay.
These crafts are adorable, the heart one is my favourite, it’s so pretty.
I also feel like you could actually make Play-Doh out of this if you add food colouring to it, well that’s if food colouring won’t affect the mixture
Thank you! 💜 I think that would work!
I started watching you like 2 or 3 months ago and im obsessed
Thank you for including a recipe for the clay!! I was so excited when I saw you had posted and even more when I saw it was with clay!!!!
This recipe was fantastic!! the clay was so soft and amazing!!!! you have to try this!!
WOAHH this is actually stuff that people have at home 🤣 thank you, ur amazing and so is this recipe
lol fr BUTTTT thats what i thought, i fould out i had no salt that would work so i had to use garlic salt. it smells so bad
@@fr0ggbee garlic salt??! Didn't even know that existed..
@@fr0ggbee i have a pink himalayan salt grinder but no normal salt i am getting an arm workout
@@jellycruise9364 do you know if the clay goes moldy?
@@jellycruise9364 just put the salt in a blender (for legal reasons this is a joke)
Thank you so much!! I love that you wrote the ingredients down at the same time so we can pause it! Ive been looking for a good video with this recipe and this is perfect!!!
Hi I watch all your videos thanks for helping me geting better at art.
Thank you Megan Weller
I loved the heart dish meg
Thank you! 💜
Your fail confrontation is very helpful. Your ways are very easily accessible. Thank you for your creativity Megan.
I’ve gotten so crafty lately! First I learnt how to sew now I’m trying to sculpt
Thank you! I really wanted to make my mom a small trinket dish with her dog’s paw print on it and now I can!
That would be so cute - it would be perfect for Mother’s Day! 💜

SIMOOOOOON
I can’t explain how much I loved this video Thankyou so much ☺️☺️
Wow I need clay this is so easy!
You could put the flat sides of the beads facing each other in pairs so it looks more like spheres, that could look good!
I did try that - they just looked like butts to me 😅😅

@@MeganWeller Np 😁💖
You don't have to use salt??!?
@@bobas9da yea it works too!
@@berryshakedrawz oh I see!! So did you use just flour and water??
My favorite was the paint brush one I deffently gonna make it, I too always leave my paint brushes in water

Hi Megan! I love watching your vids for inspiration with art!. I love how creative and fun this craft was. Thank you for being you

Yay for including the "fails".
I’m not sure if this applies here but I think you can put circular pieces of clay on cornstarch to keep it from flattening on the bottom.
I’ve never heard that - I might have to test that out next time! 💜
