This might be one of the Best tutorial I've seen for diy air dry clay. You gave clear instructions and even told us how many days it takes for the clay to fully cure. I really liked how you compared both the cook and non-cook method with their pros and cons. You deserve more subs, there's no way you're this underrated!
Also, can you reduce the time or curing by using a hair dryer or some sort? I'm making a sculpture for my gf's project which is due on Tuesday. I'm planning on making the sculpture a bit big so i kinda worry it wouldn't cure on the day of submission.
if its possible for you to use aluminum foil or paper as a base and just use clay on the surface of your sculpture that could help reduce the time it takes to cure. putting my works in front of an electric fan helps it cure faster. using hair dryer sounds possible but not sure how well that works so i suggest you try that with a small amount of clay first.
Thank you for showing the difference between the two clays. I’ve been looking online to figure out why clay is cooked and what the difference is but couldn’t find anything until I found your video. I’ll give it a try today! Blessings ❤️
You’ll have to learn to approximate how much shrinkage your pieces experience and make them appropriately larger in size in order to get the size you want after they’ve dried completely :)
Haven't watched anything quite this awful and u say it is good., she had her closeup way too far in And the music I had to shut off. And I just had to stop half way in and refocus on it
Excellent video, both on video content and the way it was presented - not always a given in other similar videos of this genre I have watched. I have been looking for effective ways to make my own clay and this fits the bill. You have helped me on my project and gained a subscriber.

Thank you Eslyn! Glad you find this helpful 💖 Yes, making your own clay is a lot cheaper than buying especially if you happen to acquire cheaper materials! Happy claying! ✨
Hello, thank you very much for the awesome tutorial. I tried your recipe and even though it didn't pass the raindrop test, it dried really strong and could easily remedy the cracks and what not. My second batch became too soft and I made blocks of them at first, then made sculptures via carving. But I have a problem with molds during the rainy season here in the Philippines. I panicked and ended up throwing away my airdry sculptures and the few blocks I wanted to carve. How do I prevent molds from forming? Was there a way to remove the molds from the sculptures?
thank you! glad it worked well for you 😊 as for the molds, adding white vinegar or lemon juice should help prevent them. making sure your hands and anything that comes into contact with the clay is clean will prevent that from happening too. hope this helps! im from ph too and never really experienced my clays getting molds even though they've been on storage for a long time. and unfortunately, you can't really save clays that already has molds. even if you remove them, they will just grow back :/
You mentioned (raindrop test) I don’t think these are for outdoors. U would have to seal them as well, and even though you seal them they should not be left out doors.

I've been wanting a air dry clay for a long time, I found one in the nearest stationary shop but it was a bit too expensive for me so I've wanted to make one myself and so this video is super useful
Hey, the best video ive seen about this type of clay, i just tried the no Cook version but i dont understand why it hasnt the right consistancy, it cracks, doesnt makes the teardrop shape.. And it has this Sandy texture. I really measured all the ingredients i dont understand what i am doing wrong.

Hello! I made the no-cook clay recipe and it turned out quite well! But when I added colour to it lots of little cracks formed (something like dry land which is dehydrated). Can u please tell me a solution if u know about it?
The video is very clear and easy to understand and it's packed with knowledge so thank you for that. I'm wondering if you can mix both clays? To get slightly different texture than pure cooked clay but also not loose it perks.
hardness depends on the size and thickness and they both harden pretty well as you can see in the last part where i compared them. i'd say the cooked one seems more durable in general
@@zainclayartsI have a serious question. When I made this clay once, I made the shape and let it dry, the side that was placed on the bottom (on the table) had small cracks. Is there any way to prevent this? To make it smooth everywhere?
@@katkaklarapaule5053 i have a video discussing how to properly cure adc. please check it out. it might help although cracking can be caused by other factors too.
Hey Miss Zainy! 😉 Thank you so much for this video. It's very thorough with a lot of good information. You are naturally skilled at teaching. I had absolutely no problem understanding you. You speak very well, clearly, with good expression/modulation, and at a good pace. Your English is great. Your sense of humor is enjoyable.
Aww thank you so much Janet for such a detailed feedback 💖💖 I had to revise it a couple of times to make it concise and informative so your feedback makes me feel glad that it is understandable enough 💕
Hi, thanks so much for sharing. I follow your instructions and did make it work (cooked one). However my clay dries pretty fast, any suggestion to help it stay undried a bit longer?
some use a damp cloth to cover unused clay while they work. beware of lints though since they can get stuck in the clay. but if you're having problems with the clay you're actively sculpting with, i find it better to use slightly undercooked clay (be sure it's not super soft tho) as it will give you more time to work with (consider the shrinkage) or just use a bit of water to soften the clay every now and then.
Thank you for putting the full list of measurements for making both the white clays, onto the internet via RUclips. This video has helped me a whole lot. I really look forward to creating some wonderful things with my grandchildren using the clay. I have a few questions for you:- 1) Do you suggest only creating small projects with the air dry clay..or can you do larger projects, such as vases, in air dry clay? 2) Do you advise on adding the poster paint to the air dry clay only when I plan to use the clay immediately? 3) Is it safe to seal the finished objects I make out of both types of clay by using a glaze only, or should I seal the object first with a spray on sealant, and then glaze it; if I wanted it to hold water for example? Thank you in advance for answering these questions. You are very kind!
Thank you so much Carly for a wonderful feedback! I'm glad you find it helpful 😊 To answer your questions, 1. I personally use it for small projects but I believe you can use it to make larger ones! It holds pretty well especially if the piece is solid. Might take awhile to completely cure it though so might be better to work on it in stages. 2. Yes, definitely. unless you can secure it in a completely airtight container which may allow you to store it for a long time. It will harden quite fast after it's mixed with any paint. 3. I haven't used this clay for any purpose involving water but I've read from other artists that air dry clay in general, no matter the type, is really not advisable to be used with anything that involves water like a pot or a vase even though it's already sealed with glaze or coated with varnish. The clay may turn soft again after awhile.
@@zainclayarts Thank you so much Zain. You are very kind to get back to me so quickly. Do you have any large projects coming up? A thought of mine was to make a nativity set and/farm yard set for my grandaughter. We could play together if it works. I shall be experimenting with different things to make the farm stables or the stable where Jesus was born for her. I thought she might like them, one or the other for Christmas. Shes only 4 years old and I know she would love to make the baby Jesus or the farmer and his wife for the farm yard. She is into arts and crafts which is brilliant because so am I!😁😀😄
@@carlycharlesworth1497 So far, I'm just planning to finish all my works in progress which are mostly character figures like the Sailor Moon I did :) I also decided to skip making any Christmas content since I currently don't really have a lot of time to make something and go through the entire process including editing. 😓 That idea is really cute!! You can try to incorporate other materials along with the clay to make it more realistic if you like. I wish I have someone to make things with haha I hope your granddaughter will enjoy claying too. And if it's alright, I'd love to see your works when you're done! I'd love to share it to others by featuring it in one of my videos as well 😁💕
@@zainclayarts oh how kind of you. I dont know if I would have the confidence to show anything I made but feel free to use the idea for yourself sometime. It would make a great video if you just built the stable in one video and some of the characters perhaps over two or three videos. I would absolutely watch that for sure. Maybe out it to the vote one year. I debated creating the stable out of a cardboard shoe box and coloured paper and some acrylics. I was planning to use strips of fabric to make the characters clothes and make a star out of cardboard, tinsel and a battery run candle. However, I have yet to successfully make the clay yet hahaha. Big dreams but I really want to try. It will be fun just to give it a go. I think i just need the cornflour and that's it. I will have to get my husband to pick me up some. I'm disabled and house bound at present you see. I'm sorry, i'm chattering on. Forgive me. It's been really lovely speaking with you tho. Thank you for your very kind offer. You seem like such a very kind person. Are you on messenger at all, perhaps we could chat on there? Or am I asking impertenant question of you? It's ok to tell me no..I will totally understand. God bless you.
@@carlycharlesworth1497 That's completely alright! I understand. There was also a time that I wasn't totally confident in sharing my works online but I thought, it wouldn't really hurt to try :) Now, I'm just glad that some people appreciate what i make and do. And yes, you're right! I'll consider making it for next year 😊 It might take awhile to finish but I hope you'll be able to finish it while enjoying the process! And no worries!! I do have a facebook page. facebook.com/zain.clayarts You may message me there if you'd like and we can talk about anything :) Though I might not be able to always reply on time but I do try whenever I'm free. I'm just on RUclips now since I use it to play music haha
This is the best video i've seen on this topic so far😻. Kudos to you! BTW just wanna know a wee thing. I'm planning to make a berry twig with clay. So which one would you recommend? Which one will last longer? TIA😇
Thank you for this video!! What do I do if the clay is sticky after it set? I've made on the stove and in the microwave and both was so sticky I couldn't get it out of the bag.
That means it's either really undercooked, or the ratio of starch:glue is incorrect. Just kneed more starch into it, or cook it a little more and you should be all set
May I ask if you suggest a separate pan for clay cooking only? or the ones in the kitchen would do? BTW, Nice editing and very precise content. I love it!
Aww thank you so much! 💖💕 And yes! I would suggest that you use a separate pan only for cooking clay just to be sure since we're using glue here that might contain chemicals. (＾▽＾)
this is such a great video! i do have a question though- will i be able to paint over already dried clay with acrylic paint and how well will the paint stay on?
no cook method is really harder to use than the cooked one. it dries faster so you have to work pretty fast. you can soften it out by making a new mixture of the same ingredients and mix that with the hard clay. good luck!
Thank you for your excellent video! Enjoy it very much. Is there a difference between white glue and latex glue? Can i use normal whire glue instead of your type of glue?
hmm sorry im a bit confused bec i know what im using is also just a pva-based glue like other regular white glues out there. i am not familiar with latex glue
Thank you 🇬🇧 very good tutorial.BUT a lot of Spanish people who have thier own shops use the no cook method they add a littler shower gel or dish soup .baby oil and lemon and thker clay and charms are fantastic 🇬🇧
thick pieces made with this clay are pretty durable. if you can add some kind of base or support inside, that will make your pieces much more durable. and yes, you can use them with silicone molds. apply oil on the molds so it wont stick
Sorry, I'm quite not sure I get what you mean.. However if you mean that you want to use this kind of clay together with paper mache, I think white glue would work just fine since white glue is also the binding agent for this recipe. Not sure with hot glue as I haven't tried it myself. :)
Thank you! Yes, @Farheen Yaseen is right. This type of clay is translucent when it dries. You may use acrylic paint or poster paint to add color to it. Just mix it directly with the clay after it's set.
I had a question regarding water you said we can use water to smooth the surface of the clay but i saw another video in which she uses same method and she said not to use water because it is biodegradable clay and it can get molds on it so should I use water or not
molds are tricky and no one really knows what causes it since several factors come into play like humidity, weather conditions, how it's stored and more. it rlly varies since we all live differently and in diff areas. personally, i never experienced my clay getting molds and i use water a lot while sculpting. the vinegar i use for my diy clay helps prevent it too. most ppl suggests using distilled but i just use tap water with no problems.
Hi, Loved the tutorial. Had no idea what the differences where between cooked and non-cooked. You explained things very well. I do have a question, does either one shrink considerably after dried?
shrinkage depends on how much moisture is left in the clay after you sculpted it so i dont think any of them shrinks more than the other. generally, adc shrinks about 10-20%.
Tysm! I coudnt find the comparison anywhere, and I really needed it, also I like the way you made the video, it was very informative and I liked the graphics very much. I just want to ask one question tho, im making, pendants with my bff and I wanted to ask which is thr best for making them, cooked or non- cooked clay? Thankyou!
Hi Navya! I'm not quite sure if you've watched the summary part but I already mentioned there that cooked clay is "generally" better. There's also a comparison part between the two which shows and explains the differences and why cooked clay is better. Please watch those parts for more info. Timestamps are available in the description and pinned comment. Thank you! :)
Hi, just a quick question. Thank you for the brilliant tutorial, but, I have been making a polymer air dry "picture" which will be attached to slate. I did not add colour as I made it, as I wanted to be able to paint shades, making it "pop" out.... is this ok to do? I have a varnish made for polymer to complete it. Should I continue, or start again with mixing the colours to clay before shaping it? Thanks
yes that's totally fine! for the varnish though, i think it's best to search if your varnish is compatible with the paint you're using coz sometimes varnishes can dissolve the paint and smudge it all over :)
What a brilliant and lovely tutorial, thank you! I'm thinking about making a square plant pot, do these clays dry flat when rolled thin (maybe ½-1cm), or does it bow/curl?
thank you Rachel! glad you appreciate it 💖 i don't really recommend using air dry clay for plant pots or anything with moisture since it's possible that the clay might soften even if it's sealed. however, you can use it as an outer layer or for decoration for like a plastic pot for example. to answer your question though, yes it can dry flat but it depends on the way you let it cure. make sure to flip it several times to let all areas get exposed to air while it's drying.
in that case, be sure to get rid of air bubbles and be on the lookout for some cracking due to shrinkage. good luck on your project! hope it'll turn out great 😊
Thank you so much! 💖 The clay has to be entirely exposed to air while drying. If your piece has a flat back, you may use a mesh or silk screen to dry it. Flip the piece from time to time to prevent it from curving. If the piece is rounded, you may hang it or stick it to a stand if possible to keep its shape. :)
that depends on how dry your overcooked clay is. if you're unsure, there's really no harm in mixing a lot of undercooked clay with it. your clay will just be softer and you can just air dry it a little to get the right consistency.
Hello, I watched your video and it seems your video has the most when it comes to troubleshooting. I tried this out and made a couple of batches of different colors. Some of them would dry with little dips and made the shape all wonky. Do you maybe know the reason why that is? Did I not knead it enough for even distribution of starch? Or maybe my starch proportion was off? Thanks for the video
@@mildredperez5846 hm so far im still experimenting on how to make clay more flexible so i cant really give you anything atm but this particular recipe is semi flexible when you make thin pieces with it while thicker pieces are pretty solid when fully cured.
I have watched your video for the first time. I really liked it very much because you have explained every detail and shown all the steps. Thank you for making such a detailed video. I have a question that does the gesso or texture paste be substituted with this clay?
I actually tried making gesso just with glue, cornstarch, and white paint. it works great! I followed another tutorial here on YT. You can search "DIY gesso" :)
very helpful video and clear instructions 😊 i tried the cooked air dry clay version and the consistency is just as the video, however, while drying some holes appeared on my pieces (they are small pieces for jewelry) and one of them cracked, do you know why that happened? 🤔 thank you for the tutorial ❤
glad you find it helpful! not really sure but the holes are probably because of air bubbles stuck in the clay. you need to press it pretty hard while sculpting to get rid of those. cracking can be caused by several factors (like how the clay cured, condition of the clay, etc)
Thank you this waaaas very helpful 🥺💙. I already try making a no cook clay but it is too sticky and somewhat melting... I used 3:1 ratio in which cornstarch is more dominant...what can I do? add more cornstarch? or glue? please help 💙🥺
I'm glad you find it helpful!! 💖 If it's kind of melting, I think you can add more cornstarch but add it in *very* small amounts and be careful not to add too much because then, you'd have to add glue and lotion and again, you have to be careful with that too. If it's too sticky, you need to add a tiny bit of oil/lotion as well. Hope that helps! 😁
Glad you find it hepful! As for your question, I'm not exactly sure about this as I usually just make enough amount of clay to prevent cases where I have to store it and leave it unused for a long time but I think it can last for about 3-6 months depending on how it's stored. If you want it to last longer, make sure to store it in a tightly sealed container. I would suggest a jar while also keeping it in a ziplock for extra security. I have a japanese-brand air dry clay stored in a jar and it's still in pretty good condition after being stored for more than a year now. :)
Thank you for this amazing video!❤ I tried this today and to be clear, the tear drop shape is to be formed soon after kneading or after placing a few hours...?
thank you! glad you find it useful 💕 still working on that episode! will be uploading it soon 😁 sorry but i dont have time to add subtitles with voiceover videos at the moment.
glad you find it helpful! 💚 i use cooked clay for making my figures so that's what i recommend. but do consider the drying time of the clay when working with small pieces
can't say for sure since they both have pros and cons. which is better really depends on your preference and what works for you. in my opinion though, polymer clays can be more durable than air dry clays and they are waterproof once baked.
Hey! thank u so much for the recipes. I tried the cooked one, but my clay was not smooth. It was cracky and my hand get super oily while kneading the clay. what can i do not to fix it?
hm you might have added more oil than needed. maybe you can try adding glue to it and see if that works. add small amounts from time to time just to test it out first. let me know if it fixed the problem :)
it kind of is, since it's to make sure the clay won't be exposed to air. i would still recommend using one even if you have an airtight container to store the clay.
Very impressive production quality. Your English is fine! Don't worry about it. What about shrinkage with your clay? If you cut a piece 2 inches long, how long is it when it dries?
Thank you so much for the feedback! 💖💖 Shrinkage is about 10%-20% and it depends on how wet the clay is when you let it dry. I usually add 1-2mm allowance for my works to make up for the shrinkage when I want them to be exact in size :)
Hi, I want to make a ceramic watercolor palette .. can I make a palette with this dough? Or I should use ceramic powder for this? Can I use all purpose flour instead of cornstarch ? Thanks for this detailed video it is a best video I watched for Air Dry Clay. Thanku :)
hi sorry im not familiar with working with ceramics so im afraid i can't answer your question. as for all purpose flour instead of cornstarch, i believe you can find recipes for that here on YT. thank you so much for watching. im glad you find it helpful 💚
hm im not sure but if the amount of oil and vinegar is too much, there's a chance that the clay won't hold the shape. it may turn out to be too watery/melty.
vinegar should help prevent molds. if you dont like the smell of it you can use lemon juice instead. so far i haven't had any experiences with it getting moldy or attracting any insects.
cracks can be caused by a lot of things but one of them is improper curing. i have another video on how to properly cure air dry clay. you can check that out and hope that helps!

most clear tutorial and most informative video about homemade airdry clay
I love this video!! Such neat graphics and so helpful!!
Thank you so much for the feedback and the appreciation! 💖💕
What about shrinkage. My project completely shrunk and is very disappointing I used the no cook air dry clay.
Both will shrink. That's what happens with air dry clay, because during the drying process the liquid evaporates.
You’ll have to learn to approximate how much shrinkage your pieces experience and make them appropriately larger in size in order to get the size you want after they’ve dried completely :)
If a clay has water, it will inevitably shrink when it dries.

I do reccomend also using oil based paint. That was the recommended one when I learned about this many years ago.
Yes, I've seen others use it however I believe water-based paints are less toxic than oil-based ones.

Hey Miss Zainy! 😉 Thank you so much for this video. It's very thorough with a lot of good information. You are naturally skilled at teaching. I had absolutely no problem understanding you. You speak very well, clearly, with good expression/modulation, and at a good pace. Your English is great. Your sense of humor is enjoyable.
Aww thank you so much Janet for such a detailed feedback 💖💖 I had to revise it a couple of times to make it concise and informative so your feedback makes me feel glad that it is understandable enough 💕
@@zainclayarts
You're welcome! Your work is well done and I hope to see more.
@@creativeplanetjanet thank you!! 💖
Thank you. Lovely tutorial❤❤❤ Extremely methodical approach. Truly a commendable job.👌👍👏
Want to know the percentage of shrinkage once dry.
shrinkage is around 10-20%
talked about this more in detail in my 'how to properly cure air dry clay' video 😊
@@zainclayarts Thank you. I will check the mentioned video.
Thankyou so much. I made my clay but it was breaking this video helped alot. I will definitely try
Thank you Fahira! Good luck and happy claying! 😄
Can you use Tempera paints for coloring the clay?
Hi, thanks so much for sharing. I follow your instructions and did make it work (cooked one). However my clay dries pretty fast, any suggestion to help it stay undried a bit longer?
some use a damp cloth to cover unused clay while they work. beware of lints though since they can get stuck in the clay. but if you're having problems with the clay you're actively sculpting with, i find it better to use slightly undercooked clay (be sure it's not super soft tho) as it will give you more time to work with (consider the shrinkage) or just use a bit of water to soften the clay every now and then.
@@zainclayarts thank you. I would try your suggestion
Thank you for putting the full list of measurements for making both the white clays, onto the internet via RUclips. This video has helped me a whole lot. I really look forward to creating some wonderful things with my grandchildren using the clay.
I have a few questions for you:-
1) Do you suggest only creating small projects with the air dry clay..or can you do larger projects, such as vases, in air dry clay?
2) Do you advise on adding the poster paint to the air dry clay only when I plan to use the clay immediately?
3) Is it safe to seal the finished objects I make out of both types of clay by using a glaze only, or should I seal the object first with a spray on sealant, and then glaze it; if I wanted it to hold water for example?
Thank you in advance for answering these questions. You are very kind!
Thank you so much Carly for a wonderful feedback! I'm glad you find it helpful 😊 To answer your questions,
1. I personally use it for small projects but I believe you can use it to make larger ones! It holds pretty well especially if the piece is solid. Might take awhile to completely cure it though so might be better to work on it in stages.
2. Yes, definitely. unless you can secure it in a completely airtight container which may allow you to store it for a long time. It will harden quite fast after it's mixed with any paint.
3. I haven't used this clay for any purpose involving water but I've read from other artists that air dry clay in general, no matter the type, is really not advisable to be used with anything that involves water like a pot or a vase even though it's already sealed with glaze or coated with varnish. The clay may turn soft again after awhile.
@@zainclayarts Thank you so much Zain. You are very kind to get back to me so quickly. Do you have any large projects coming up? A thought of mine was to make a nativity set and/farm yard set for my grandaughter. We could play together if it works. I shall be experimenting with different things to make the farm stables or the stable where Jesus was born for her. I thought she might like them, one or the other for Christmas. Shes only 4 years old and I know she would love to make the baby Jesus or the farmer and his wife for the farm yard. She is into arts and crafts which is brilliant because so am I!😁😀😄
@@carlycharlesworth1497 So far, I'm just planning to finish all my works in progress which are mostly character figures like the Sailor Moon I did :) I also decided to skip making any Christmas content since I currently don't really have a lot of time to make something and go through the entire process including editing. 😓
That idea is really cute!! You can try to incorporate other materials along with the clay to make it more realistic if you like. I wish I have someone to make things with haha I hope your granddaughter will enjoy claying too. And if it's alright, I'd love to see your works when you're done! I'd love to share it to others by featuring it in one of my videos as well 😁💕
@@zainclayarts oh how kind of you. I dont know if I would have the confidence to show anything I made but feel free to use the idea for yourself sometime. It would make a great video if you just built the stable in one video and some of the characters perhaps over two or three videos. I would absolutely watch that for sure. Maybe out it to the vote one year. I debated creating the stable out of a cardboard shoe box and coloured paper and some acrylics. I was planning to use strips of fabric to make the characters clothes and make a star out of cardboard, tinsel and a battery run candle. However, I have yet to successfully make the clay yet hahaha. Big dreams but I really want to try. It will be fun just to give it a go. I think i just need the cornflour and that's it. I will have to get my husband to pick me up some. I'm disabled and house bound at present you see. I'm sorry, i'm chattering on. Forgive me. It's been really lovely speaking with you tho. Thank you for your very kind offer. You seem like such a very kind person. Are you on messenger at all, perhaps we could chat on there? Or am I asking impertenant question of you? It's ok to tell me no..I will totally understand. God bless you.
@@carlycharlesworth1497 That's completely alright! I understand. There was also a time that I wasn't totally confident in sharing my works online but I thought, it wouldn't really hurt to try :) Now, I'm just glad that some people appreciate what i make and do. And yes, you're right! I'll consider making it for next year 😊 It might take awhile to finish but I hope you'll be able to finish it while enjoying the process! And no worries!! I do have a facebook page. facebook.com/zain.clayarts You may message me there if you'd like and we can talk about anything :) Though I might not be able to always reply on time but I do try whenever I'm free. I'm just on RUclips now since I use it to play music haha
This is the best video i've seen on this topic so far😻. Kudos to you!
BTW just wanna know a wee thing. I'm planning to make a berry twig with clay. So which one would you recommend? Which one will last longer? TIA😇
cooked method is better in general
Excellent video on air dry clay , both methods have been described in a very simple and clear manner…. I want to ask which clay shrinks in size ?
Both
This is the best well planned video!! it answered all the questions that i had in mind
thank you 💚
This is the best diy airdry clay vdo i have ever seen... thank you soo much❤
aww thank you Adrita! 💚
If i also put resin on my clay art, would it keep it good as well? By the way you are awesome for doing the video!
havent tried it myself but i believe yes :) thank you, glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video!! What do I do if the clay is sticky after it set? I've made on the stove and in the microwave and both was so sticky I couldn't get it out of the bag.
That means it's either really undercooked, or the ratio of starch:glue is incorrect. Just kneed more starch into it, or cook it a little more and you should be all set
Thank you!
This video is AMAZING 🤩
May I ask if you suggest a separate pan for clay cooking only? or the ones in the kitchen would do? BTW, Nice editing and very precise content. I love it!
Aww thank you so much! 💖💕 And yes! I would suggest that you use a separate pan only for cooking clay just to be sure since we're using glue here that might contain chemicals. (＾▽＾)
If you are using Elmer's glue you should be ok using your everyday pan's,because Elmer's glue is non toxic.
@@karencorbett5950 chemicals change when heated, may be toxic that way
this is such a great video! i do have a question though- will i be able to paint over already dried clay with acrylic paint and how well will the paint stay on?
yes you absolutely can! you just have to use a sealer/varnish to make the paint last. i have a list of materials i use linked in the description.
The perfect vid i found today all over the internet love it!!
aww thank you so much! 💖 that makes me happy 😊
Your videos r amazing... I tried non cook clay method, but it's hard n give suggestions for that... Teardrop shape is not coming correctly..
no cook method is really harder to use than the cooked one. it dries faster so you have to work pretty fast. you can soften it out by making a new mixture of the same ingredients and mix that with the hard clay. good luck!
@@zainclayarts thank u so much for ur Rply... Ur stuffs r really awsm.. Really happy for ur quick response 💕
@@lekhaalagaraja9800 thank youu!! 💖💖
same for me... give suggestions pls
Thank u sooo muchhh this helped soo much! I just started sculpting as my hobby! :) 💞
nicee! have fun sculpting!!
Thank you for your excellent video! Enjoy it very much. Is there a difference between white glue and latex glue? Can i use normal whire glue instead of your type of glue?
hmm sorry im a bit confused bec i know what im using is also just a pva-based glue like other regular white glues out there. i am not familiar with latex glue
Thank you 🇬🇧 very good tutorial.BUT a lot of Spanish people who have thier own shops use the no cook method they add a littler shower gel or dish soup .baby oil and lemon and thker clay and charms are fantastic 🇬🇧
ohh i see. that's good to know! thanks for sharing 😊
You have tell us each and every method and querys that we have thank you 😊😊❤
Thank you for a great tutorial. How durable is it and can I use it in silicone molds? Thank you.
thick pieces made with this clay are pretty durable. if you can add some kind of base or support inside, that will make your pieces much more durable. and yes, you can use them with silicone molds. apply oil on the molds so it wont stick
Easy to follow tutorial. Can i ask, is it ok to add color like blue, red etc. before you cook it?
yes! the next video i made for this series is about that actually (coloring air dry clay before cooking). you can check it out if you like :)
If I would like to use the sculpted clay on another media such as paper maché would it be possible to glue it with hot glue?
Sorry, I'm quite not sure I get what you mean.. However if you mean that you want to use this kind of clay together with paper mache, I think white glue would work just fine since white glue is also the binding agent for this recipe. Not sure with hot glue as I haven't tried it myself. :)
Thank you. I will try with PVA glue first
@@marlenejacopin8142 Good luck! 😊
Hey there! I was just wondering if you can substitute cornstarch with flour? Will it affect the results? Thank you so much ^^
Flour and cornstarch have a hugeeeee difference between eachother. Flour can grow moldy and stinky very fast, and it cooks differently.
once dry, can you sand it. I'm willing to do a mini sculpture, but I wonder if you can sand it for a smoother effect.
yes you can but be careful not to do wet sanding. the clay will soften when wet and it might ruin your piece.
@zainclayarts thank you very much, I'm glad to hear that. 🙏🏻💕
Thank you for this video... can you let me know about shrinkage with both...
amount of shrinkage mostly depends on how wet the clay is for both versions. generally, both can shrink for about 10-20% 🙂
Hello! 👋🏻
Thankyouuuu for this wonderful tutorial ♥️
But can i ask?
Can i bake it?
pls read the FAQs page , link in the description :)
Hi.. Nice n well explained tutorial. I have a doubt, the clay I made is little translucent when it gets dried. How to get opaque white clay?
Cold porcelain dries translucent, you can add white paint to it.
Thank you! Yes, @Farheen Yaseen is right. This type of clay is translucent when it dries. You may use acrylic paint or poster paint to add color to it. Just mix it directly with the clay after it's set.
Thank you for explaining the difference from cooked and none cooked 😃
I had a question regarding water you said we can use water to smooth the surface of the clay but i saw another video in which she uses same method and she said not to use water because it is biodegradable clay and it can get molds on it so should I use water or not
molds are tricky and no one really knows what causes it since several factors come into play like humidity, weather conditions, how it's stored and more. it rlly varies since we all live differently and in diff areas. personally, i never experienced my clay getting molds and i use water a lot while sculpting. the vinegar i use for my diy clay helps prevent it too. most ppl suggests using distilled but i just use tap water with no problems.
@@zainclayarts thanks a lot it really helped. ｡◕‿◕｡
You are such a great teacher. I love how you broke it all down. This is so helpful. Thank you for all your time spent in making such a great video.
for the cooked method how do you prevent cracks as it dries?
Hi, Loved the tutorial. Had no idea what the differences where between cooked and non-cooked. You explained things very well. I do have a question, does either one shrink considerably after dried?
shrinkage depends on how much moisture is left in the clay after you sculpted it so i dont think any of them shrinks more than the other. generally, adc shrinks about 10-20%.
@@zainclayarts Thanks, already made my first batch. Can't wait to get started.
Hello can i ash which also you most preffered to use cooked or non cooked clay thank you💕
Tysm! I coudnt find the comparison anywhere, and I really needed it, also I like the way you made the video, it was very informative and I liked the graphics very much.
I just want to ask one question tho, im making, pendants with my bff and I wanted to ask which is thr best for making them, cooked or non- cooked clay?
Thankyou!
Hi Navya! I'm not quite sure if you've watched the summary part but I already mentioned there that cooked clay is "generally" better. There's also a comparison part between the two which shows and explains the differences and why cooked clay is better. Please watch those parts for more info. Timestamps are available in the description and pinned comment. Thank you! :)
@@zainclayarts I did watch them, but it seems i missed the summary , btw I made the cooked clay and it turned out great! Thankyou
@@creativeteeny925 That's great! Glad you find the video helpful and thanks for watching 😊
Hi, just a quick question. Thank you for the brilliant tutorial, but, I have been making a polymer air dry "picture" which will be attached to slate.
I did not add colour as I made it, as I wanted to be able to paint shades, making it "pop" out.... is this ok to do? I have a varnish made for polymer to complete it.
Should I continue, or start again with mixing the colours to clay before shaping it? Thanks
yes that's totally fine! for the varnish though, i think it's best to search if your varnish is compatible with the paint you're using coz sometimes varnishes can dissolve the paint and smudge it all over :)
What a brilliant and lovely tutorial, thank you! I'm thinking about making a square plant pot, do these clays dry flat when rolled thin (maybe ½-1cm), or does it bow/curl?
thank you Rachel! glad you appreciate it 💖 i don't really recommend using air dry clay for plant pots or anything with moisture since it's possible that the clay might soften even if it's sealed. however, you can use it as an outer layer or for decoration for like a plastic pot for example.
to answer your question though, yes it can dry flat but it depends on the way you let it cure. make sure to flip it several times to let all areas get exposed to air while it's drying.
@@zainclayarts perfect, thank you! My plan is to use it as an "outer"; have a pot inside it, and possibly even glue a thick plastic bag inside
in that case, be sure to get rid of air bubbles and be on the lookout for some cracking due to shrinkage. good luck on your project! hope it'll turn out great 😊
Very nice and precise video. Thank you for this. I tried the cooked clay and while drying the sculpt is getting curved. How do I get that fixed.
Thank you so much! 💖 The clay has to be entirely exposed to air while drying. If your piece has a flat back, you may use a mesh or silk screen to dry it. Flip the piece from time to time to prevent it from curving. If the piece is rounded, you may hang it or stick it to a stand if possible to keep its shape. :)
Can i use any glue? Like the ones that are used for woods or cloths or should i use only the school glue?
using wood glue should work. not sure about fabric glue or other ones
Very informative. My clay got overcooked and rubbery. Same quantity undercooked clay should be used to rectify it ??
that depends on how dry your overcooked clay is. if you're unsure, there's really no harm in mixing a lot of undercooked clay with it. your clay will just be softer and you can just air dry it a little to get the right consistency.
Wow I have been looking for a great video to show this clay cures. You did a fantastic job. I am def a subscriber🌼🌼🌼
thank you! 😊
Hello, I watched your video and it seems your video has the most when it comes to troubleshooting. I tried this out and made a couple of batches of different colors. Some of them would dry with little dips and made the shape all wonky. Do you maybe know the reason why that is? Did I not knead it enough for even distribution of starch? Or maybe my starch proportion was off? Thanks for the video
hmm probably because of trapped air in the clay? when shaping your piece make sure to push it hard so that the trapped air can get out.
@@zainclayarts thanks for replying, I'll try that out! Your figurines look so good and detailed
@@Avanity1 thank you and hope my suggestion helps 😊

@@mildredperez5846 hm so far im still experimenting on how to make clay more flexible so i cant really give you anything atm but this particular recipe is semi flexible when you make thin pieces with it while thicker pieces are pretty solid when fully cured.

Hi dear i am from India
I liked your videos very much
I could not understand english perfectly, but I got a lot of help from subtitles.
I have watched your video for the first time. I really liked it very much because you have explained every detail and shown all the steps. Thank you for making such a detailed video. I have a question that does the gesso or texture paste be substituted with this clay?
I actually tried making gesso just with glue, cornstarch, and white paint. it works great! I followed another tutorial here on YT. You can search "DIY gesso" :)
very helpful video and clear instructions 😊 i tried the cooked air dry clay version and the consistency is just as the video, however, while drying some holes appeared on my pieces (they are small pieces for jewelry) and one of them cracked, do you know why that happened? 🤔
thank you for the tutorial ❤
glad you find it helpful! not really sure but the holes are probably because of air bubbles stuck in the clay. you need to press it pretty hard while sculpting to get rid of those. cracking can be caused by several factors (like how the clay cured, condition of the clay, etc)
@@zainclayarts ohhh i see, i will try that. thank you 😄😄

Thank you this waaaas very helpful 🥺💙. I already try making a no cook clay but it is too sticky and somewhat melting... I used 3:1 ratio in which cornstarch is more dominant...what can I do? add more cornstarch? or glue? please help 💙🥺
I'm glad you find it helpful!! 💖 If it's kind of melting, I think you can add more cornstarch but add it in *very* small amounts and be careful not to add too much because then, you'd have to add glue and lotion and again, you have to be careful with that too. If it's too sticky, you need to add a tiny bit of oil/lotion as well. Hope that helps! 😁
@@zainclayarts Wooah I did add small amount and carefully of cornstarch... and it's better than it's first consistency! 💙. Thank you 😘💙💙💙
@@secret3576 good to hear!! happy claying! 😁
How long is the shelf life of the cooked clay before it dries out? Your video is really helpful thank you
Glad you find it hepful! As for your question, I'm not exactly sure about this as I usually just make enough amount of clay to prevent cases where I have to store it and leave it unused for a long time but I think it can last for about 3-6 months depending on how it's stored.
If you want it to last longer, make sure to store it in a tightly sealed container. I would suggest a jar while also keeping it in a ziplock for extra security. I have a japanese-brand air dry clay stored in a jar and it's still in pretty good condition after being stored for more than a year now. :)
Zain Clay Arts thank you so muchh :))
You can freeze it perfectly fine, and let it thaw over night before use!

You're welcome and i'm glad it was helpful to you! Happy claying! 😄💖
If we have to use stainless steel hoops after the clay dries up... Then do we have to stick them with glue? Then which glue should we use?
cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy glue

thanks for this very elaborate tutorial~ may I ask if diy cooked air dry clay better than polymer clays bought from stores? thanks
can't say for sure since they both have pros and cons. which is better really depends on your preference and what works for you. in my opinion though, polymer clays can be more durable than air dry clays and they are waterproof once baked.
Hey! thank u so much for the recipes. I tried the cooked one, but my clay was not smooth. It was cracky and my hand get super oily while kneading the clay. what can i do not to fix it?
hm you might have added more oil than needed. maybe you can try adding glue to it and see if that works. add small amounts from time to time just to test it out first. let me know if it fixed the problem :)
@@zainclayarts thank you. 😊 I added glue to the mixture and I think it's better now.
Great video! When do you use hand lotion....on hands only or in mixture? Was not clear.
hands only. it's just to prevent the clay from sticking
This is one of the most detailes vids on yt! ❤
But is it compulsory for cling wrap? Coz I don't have it at home.. 😅
it kind of is, since it's to make sure the clay won't be exposed to air. i would still recommend using one even if you have an airtight container to store the clay.
Can you use the air dry clay to smooth a thin layer over paper mache, to give a smoother finish?
if it's just a shallow groove, i believe yes, it can work.
@@zainclayarts Thank you so much. I'll give it a try
Very impressive production quality. Your English is fine! Don't worry about it.
What about shrinkage with your clay? If you cut a piece 2 inches long, how long is it when it dries?
Thank you so much for the feedback! 💖💖
Shrinkage is about 10%-20% and it depends on how wet the clay is when you let it dry. I usually add 1-2mm allowance for my works to make up for the shrinkage when I want them to be exact in size :)

can the measurement for oil and vinegar stay same if we reduce the quantities of glue to 1/3 th cup?
thanks for the tutorial ;)
hm im not sure but if the amount of oil and vinegar is too much, there's a chance that the clay won't hold the shape. it may turn out to be too watery/melty.

@@zainclayarts i opened it and the clay is perfect thank you!!!
I wanted to ask that will it catch fungus, or attract insects or get moldy and smelly. Loved the recipe!!!!!
vinegar should help prevent molds. if you dont like the smell of it you can use lemon juice instead. so far i haven't had any experiences with it getting moldy or attracting any insects.
Can you suggest, which clay is best for jewelry making
Hi... i know i am late but just a question can we use lemon juice insted of vinegar?.?.?
