- This is how to make cold porcelain clay (Stove Version)
Cold porcelain is an inexpensive, non-toxic, easy-to-work-with material. It is an air dry clay it does not require heat in order for it to cure, instead hardening by exposure to fresh air. Once dry the thick pieces are hard like rock and the thin pieces are flexible.
my Ingredients:
♥pure cornstarch
♥white glue
♥white vinegar
♥cooking oil
♥moisturizing lotion (Nivea cream)
I'm claying since 2015 and I really want to help others.. I have enough experience and practicing using cold porcelain than polymer clay. As I have experienced, for me Cold Porcelain is better . no hate :D I just love working with polymer clay because its waterproof and just oven it to harden.. but I'm inlove with the durability of cold porcelain. its smell ,texture, consistency. everything!! Except that its not water proof (but can be glazed with anything) and it shrinks for about 15-20%

For the next video we will test what is the best paint/dye to use in CP and how durable it is.

I've tried a lot of recipe. Even the one that says (the best recipe ever) with the million views...the verdict? Well! It's a naaaah!
This claybum's recipe with her CLEAR INSTRUCTION is the best by far.
Added by how she is responding with the troubleshooting!
And it takes also a few practice though.
awwwww thank you so much! T_T
@@ClayBum why you crying
I am writing my shopping list right now. Thank you. P.S you have the sweetest voice x
Thank you so much!
Best mixture yet. Thanks!👍👍🇺🇸
Thank you for the recipe and great tutorial. Also thanks for your video on durability. Your clay is quite impressive!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Darling girl, I would use chewing gum if you said to. I can't believe you don't use the best clay money can buy to achieve what you do with your gorgeous art. Just goes to show how wonderfully talented you are. I love watching you create your figurines. Sherie Rodrigues 👍🥰💜
Awwwww gosh you're so sweeet my dear 😍😁 your message made my day 😘 hmmm maybe because it's the clay I'm used to work with. I've tried other brands of air dry clay and other medium of clay but I always get back to using this one 😂🤣 you can really make anything out of it! 😍 Ooh except for canes maybe. I would try if I can work that out 🤣😂 mission impossible LOL

I really want to give this a try.
Questions: does the figurines shrink after dry?
You said colored clay is prone to mold, so after my amaaaazing creations are done and dry, would they still get mold??
Do I need armature for chibi bodies?
My fear is that after I do the body and then put the head this one will be too heavy and will sunk into the shoulders, so, I make the body and let it dry and the finish the head?
The figures doesn’t shrink after it dries, but it shrinks while drying.
Dried piece- colored or not, can still have molds, any brand of clay are if you put them in humid places.
I’m saying colored clay is prone to molds (wet) compare if you haven’t color the clay yet. So it’s advisable when you color the clay you should use it within a week or 2.
You only need armature or wire on the legs if you’re making figurine. If keychain only it’s still advisable to put wire in the body for strength.
Yes that’s right. Dry the body first before adding the head.
I always dry body parts first before I add more clay or details.
@@ClayBum thanks a lot, I made some other pieces, like chibi Marvel heroes to make a clock, I didn't use them for a long time, when I pull them out to work with them, all of chibi heroes had "white chicken pox" all over! (Could that be fixed?, I still have them, they are so cute! I Haven't throw them away, I pity them because the I made them with my kids)
I love that it shrinks because then it's even more cute!
Thanks for all the great tips!
I do clay projects too. I loved your channel and I'm a new subscriber. Your voice is so calming and adorable. Thanks for sharing! ❤😊

Congratulations you've received a new subscriber thank you so much for sharing this recipe I made many thing using this air dry clay I made
Nice!!!!! Thank you so much!
Dipo ba na sisira or nabubulok salamat po
I am a new subscriber. Can you please tell me the durability. Can i make charms and sell it. Does it last long. Thank you🥰. And i love all of your figurines.🥰
The clay is extremely hard when dry. It is very durable, will not shatter & can be drilled, sanded and painted once dry. You can make charms and sell them. The only thing about cold porcelain is it is not waterproof. It will dissolved if put in water. You have to seal it with a waterproof coating such as acrylic varnish.
Hola!! En vez de aceite de cocina o de bebe, podria utilizar vaselina liquida pura o utilizar glicerina... Es que tengo de las dos en casa... Para aprovechar, pero necesito saber si puedo utilizarlas y cual seria mejor en caso de poder usarlas... La vaselina liquida o la glicerina liquida.
Y otra pregunta se guarda en el plastico film con crema Nivea y luego en un bol de plástico, pero... Se tiene que guardar el en frigorífico o se puede dejar fuera y cuanto tiempo dura??
Muchas gracias!!!
Gracias por ver. Sí, creo que puedes usar vaselina o glicerina. La vaselina es mucho mejor. Puede guardarlo en el refrigerador durante 6 a 12 horas después de cocinarlo y luego puede guardarlo a temperatura ambiente. En realidad no es necesario guardarlo en el frigorífico. Puedes dejarlo afuera durante un par de horas antes de usarlo.
esperar. ¿La vaselina es líquida o loción? Es necesario utilizar una base de aceite, no una loción. si es loción. la glicerina es mejor.
@@ClayBum hola!! Muchísimas gracias por contestar!! Pensaba que al ser de hace tanto el tutorial, ya no ibas a contestar... Así que muchas gracias!!
Yo compré en la farmacia vaselina líquida, para una receta de porcelana fría que vi, pero quería probar la tuya y pensé que le podia ir mejor que el aceite de cocina. Creo que es la misma vaselina que llevan las cremas pero en líquido, es vaselina pura, yo la noto como aceitosa. Y también tengo glicerina líquida, x eso te pregunté cuál podía irle mejor.
Al final pensando que no me ibas a contestar hice tu receta con aceite de cocina, aceite de girasol, la hice hace dos días y aun no la he probado, ya te diré cómo la veo... Otra cosa que no pregunté....El Vinagre tiene que ser de algo específico, de manzana, de vino,el vinagre blanco uqe se usa para las limpiezas y no es apto para uso alimenticio... No se que vinagre será mejor.... Yo le puse el que tenía que era vinagre de manzana, pero tú cual recomiendas???
Y al ver los comentarios no la metí al frigorífico, la puse en un film untado en crema Nivea y en una bolsa y la dejé fuera y así la tengo a temperatura ambiente, lo que no se es si cuando haga mucho calor es mejor meterla en el frigorífico o no pasa nada por seguir teniendola fuera del frigorífico????
Gracias por contestar una vez mas!!!!
It's lovely 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Just a question, why would you need to let the clay rest?
To make it smoother and moisture.
@@ClayBum thank you! Your videos are very informative, keep up the good work❤❤
Thank you for the recipe and tutorial tanong ko lang may epekto ba kung di ko masyado na knead after cooking?
Wala nmn po pero need po pa din i knead bago gamitin, kasi kadalasan masyado pang malambot yung clay at merong mga lumps. knead muna ng ilang minutes sa fan bago gamitin para hindi mag sag kapag ni mold at pinatuyo mo na :)
Thanks po sa recipe! I need help though. 😢
May mali ata sa ginawa ko. Sobrang sticky parin ng clay ko. Kahapon ko pa sya ginawa and stickg parin. Should I add more cornstarch then cook it again? Sana pwede pa magawan ng paraan. 😓
Btw, I used body lotion for this. Baka dahil din dun? Matapang din po ung amoy nung glue. Gumamit ako ng 1 pouch (250g) ng Shelwood Glue.
Kulang pa po sa luto. Sticky ba sya bago mo ilagay yung lotion?? Nakaka stick po lalo yung ibang lotion. Kaya po recommend ko lang ay Nivea cream saka po Vaseline lotion green at yellow. Yun palang kasi ang na ttry ko na hindi nagiging sticky ang clay. Pwede din po ang petroleum jelly.. it's either undercooked po yan or dahil nga sa lotion. You can cook it again no need to add cornstarch.
@@aprilgm6046 wag lang po ma overcooked. Mahirap na un ifix
Hi, i find your Chanel and i really like it
today i try this recipe twice and everything goes wrong.
the first trial i use 200gram corn starch and 200 white glue. it consistency turns into like bread dough even before the heat on, and when i try to heat it less than 5minuts it truns almost solid
the second one i use 200gr corn starch and 350 gr white glue. it turns very sticky. when i heat it and try to pull it easily to break. not as smooth as yours
do you have any idea how to prevent problems like this in the future. i use lowest heat as possible, my stove would be off if i go lower than this. thankyou for your advice 🙏🏻
Hello. Thank you for the support. Did you use the same ingredients? If no, then the ingredients you used is the problem. It shouldn’t turned like bread dough even before you heat it. It can be the brand or kind of glue you’re using. Or the cornstarch. Make sure it is white glue and cornstarch.
@@ClayBum no i can't find it here so i use local and most common brand for the white glue. and i notice it had more solid texture than yours. like cream for cake. should i put some water or something else?
I'm from indonesia and i had experience with flour clay years ago but i wasn't continue to explore it since i never find the best recipe for me. my clay always shirnk and wrinkle when it dry, but it had very good durability
@@mariadanastri9734 Even Elmer's glue? I think the glue you're using is the problem. Did you tried not cooking it? Maybe uncooked version will work with the glue you have. Just mix more cornstarch than glue.
@@ClayBum hey and update, i try again with other brand glue and it truns like cheesecake and fry crisp even i heat it less than 3 minutes with lowest heat. if i make uncooked version do i still need vinegar? and may i know why we need vinegar or lemon juice in clay? thankyou
@@mariadanastri9734 yes you still need vinegar it’s for preservative purposes
Hello from Belgrade(Serbia} How much glue and cornstarch you use (Grams) thanks 🍀♥️
how time get dry this clay... on air dry, and can i dry this clay in oven.???
Pwede po ba to hindi na icook? Thank you po
Hello i hope you can also answer my question, i followed all your ingredient, also the glue that you use, i used it also, but when my works getting dry it has a hole, what is the problem on this, the texture is right i think because i can make a tear drop test when i pull it
Hello. It dries like that because the outer layer is drying fast than the inside also you are drying it wrong. You should use tissue paper at the bottom or silk screen so the air circulates at the bottom too. One more thing. You need to condition it very well, just knead it in front of a fan for a couple of minutes so it won’t sag too. Hope it helps :)
@@ClayBum thank you
God bless and more power sa channel mo!!🥰

Does it smell like vinegar after cooking?
Que buena se ve la pasta hasta ahora no me a salido bien ninguna receta por favor me podrías decir que cantidad en peso usas de harina y cola ? Gracias un saludo desde España
Hola. Solo uso 1 taza de pegamento y 1 taza de maicena. Puedes usar cualquier taza medidora, solo pon la misma cantidad de pegamento y maicena. Espero que te funcione
Muchas gracias espero que me salga bien un saludo
What can i use to knead it besides nivea cream? Can I use baby oil or lotion or petroleum jelly?
Yes petroleum or baby oil just don't put too much. For lotion the only brand that I've tried working and not making it sticky is Vaseline lotion(green&yellow)
Is it supposed to be very soft still when done kneading? How long do you let it sit before using?
No. I don’t prefer it very soft as it sags immediately. I let it sit for at least 6 hours
Thanks for sharing this! How can I color my dough?
When you let the clay rest, do you put them in the fridge or just at room temp?
Just at room temp. I tried that but it doesn't make any difference
@@ClayBum Thank you so much! I'm going to try my hand at clay sculpting but I'm going to watch all of your videos first. :)
Hi! Thanks so much for this!! Will the clay keep its smoothness and pliability even if I don't use it asap after making it?
How long can this clay be stored?
Yes. I tested not using mine for 4 months I think and it's much better to use. Just make sure to wrap it completely with clinging wrap with lotion or cream preferably vaseline lotion brand (yellow/green) or nivea cream. Then store it on a sealed bag or air tight container. You shouldn't also apply paint to it if you don't use it. Colored clay are prone to molds.
I saw another recipe that uses lanolin, and another that uses glycerin. Do you think that if you add one of these, it would shrink less? Thank you!
Hello. No, I've tried glycerin. It is used as a moisturizing agent. It just prevents the clay from cracking.
Hey so i have tried a recipe same as this it worked the clay was great the consistency was right but i face a problem my clay isn't flexible like yours the thin pieces always break and so its realy hard making minatures since it breaks i am using a different brand of white glue it is really thick i guess its a wood glue so i thinned it down with water so that it was workable do you think the clay isn't flexible because of the water downed glue?
Hi! Yes! Glue is a big deal to make this work. You shouldn't also use water, the more water you use the more it can easily break/have cracks. You should change the glue, you should not use wood glue it should be white glue, if you can't find a brand like mine "Shelwood white glue" you can buy Elmer's glue.
@@ClayBumthank you so much i am gonna try with another brand since elmers glue also isn't available here 😊❤️
Hi may i know if the measuring cup is for 1 Cup or 1/2 Cup? I have one but I feel like mine is bigger eventho it stated 1 Cup. So 2 tbs vinegar + oil are for 1 Cup of white glue + 1 Cup of cornstarch? Thanks dear for the recipe. Your works are amazing
Yes it's 1 cup. You can also do 1/2 cup. It's really up to you. Just make sure to add 1:1 of cornstarch and glue ☺️
@@ClayBum thanks so much this is really helpful! Can't wait to try myself 😄👏
Can this recipe also be used for polymer clay? Thank you!
Hello. What do you mean?
Thank u for this video tutorial😊
can i ask you how to prevent it from getting molds?
When the clay is still wet. The unopened clay without paint or color will last for many many months but when you mix colorants or paints in it. You should use it within a week or so to prevent molds. When the clay is already dried or the figure is complete. Just keep it away from humid places.
@@ClayBum
Good answer!
I would think we can put varnish on the finished creations?
I always do that on my homemade clay (but mine isn't as good as yours I think) and it works well 😊
@@RosieBrownie yes agreed! Any varnish will do 😄
Do we have to add white acrylic so it doesnt look translucent?
Yes
Thank you so much!! is your pan thick? Mine burns a lot even if fire is on low.
No, mine is thin also. Very cheap non-stick. You can turn off the fire or place the pan away of the fire while stirring it.
@@ClayBum Ohh I see, thank you for the tip!
Hi..i got your video link from one of the FB Group.. My daughter is 9 yo.. and loves to mold clay. She is inspired with your art work. I wanna try this recipe. Sorry to ask this question.. but do you need to bake this? Or how do you make this hard? Will this be as hard as polymer? Thank you!! God Bless!!:)
It's air dry. You just leave it after molding, tho it's better to dry it on stack tissue so that the bottom will dry as well. It will be as hard as polymer clay hmmm I think its a bit harder than polymer. The drying process will take 1-3 days depending on the thickness of the mold :)
I'll try this with one of my video.. Very inspiring..thank you so much...❤
Thank you po 🥰😘
I love to hear something from you idol😍

Hello!
beautiful porcelain, but does not shrink or crack ?!
Thanks! The cracks depends on how you mold and sculpt it but it almost doesn't. Yes! It shrinks for about 15-20% that's one of the cons of using it. Some might like it for miniature purposes. I'm going to make a video for more details about CP.
If you make it right, it won't crack at all. Some reasons why it would crack:
- you added water to the initial mixture
- it was undercooked and you added too much cornstarch to combat the stickiness during kneading
- the clay around your armature is too thin
These are just some reasons that I found out through past tries.
@@aleahlrb Yes! I experienced that. When I overcooked it the clay cracked on its on while I display it even it didn't have cracks when I sculpt it.
crayon purple it shrinks and crack yes... same recipe around.. so still not the best
@@haenianeardiza6056 or maybe you just didn't get the point.
Hello! I like watching your video's , they are well informed. Are you filipina? You sound like it. Do you have a website that I can see some of your work? Or maybe buy....
Hi. Thank you for the support. Yes I’m a Filipina. I do posts most of my work on Instagram. @Claybum_
Can I use cornflour instead of cornstarch?
No. It will have different outcome
Hello, I have a small problem with the cooked clay. When I make a piece that's thick enough, say a cube with 0.5cm-1cm thickness, the top and/or bottom end that's supposed to be flat would look sunken when dried. Do you know what's causing this? I have a theory that it's because the piece is drying too fast but I don't know if this is true. Thanks in advance!
It is true. The outer layer is drying so fast than the outside that's why it will sunken/deformed. It is also because the clay is still so soft to dry, sometimes it gets too saggy. You should condition your clay more. I condition mine in front of electric fan before sculpting, if it is still too soft. You should also dry it on silk screen. If you don't have in the moment you can dry it on stacked tissues. So that the bottom part will dry as well. Flip it every hour if you don't want to use tissues.
@@ClayBumThank you so much for the detailed reply! As for the conditioning in front of fan, how would you know if the clay is ready for sculpting and avoid getting it too dry?
@@vina6665 Uhm. Make a log then hold it at the bottom upwards. See if the clay will bend, if not then still ready. You can easily put water if the clay gets too dry.
@@ClayBum okay so I did a test where I made 2 spherical pieces and I would flip one clay every 30mins or so while the other I didn't flip at all. I made the pieces the size of cranberries so they can hold their shape as they don't weight that much and dried them on a silk screen.
The one I flipped would cave in at every side that at some point was the bottom side, while the one I didn't flip only the bottom side caved in, the top stays spherical.
So basically it caved in but upward because only the bottom side/the sides that was the bottom at some point in time has this problem 😭
@@vina6665 if you are going to make spheres you should use stacked tissues. I actually still use tissues at top of silk screen even I dry flat shapes.
Sphere shapes are really hard to maintain perfectly shaped when using diy clay. What I do is I use armature like a sphere styrofoam then dry it on stacked tissues (without textures/embosses) if you cant find tissues without design, it will still do. Just smooth the clay after it dries.
I am a fan omg ❤️💯 i cant wait to try this recipe.. Tho i have queation is there difference with the texture if i use baby oil and vaseline green since thats what available here.. Thanks in advance and more powers!! ❤️
Thank you. No, there's no difference. It would be perfect!
@@ClayBum yay thanks for the reply ❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯 ill definitely let you know the outcome huehue
@@art.0.holicsbybabs137 alright. Just be careful not to overcooked it.
@@ClayBum hello hope u can help me... I just follow everything its just that maybe i undercooked it... Is it normal to have a little lumps?
Yes it's normal. That's why you need to knead it. You can try to pinch it if it will disperse, if not then dispose that lil lumps. It is just accumulated cornstarch
I love your videos. I’m going to make this clay. Does it dry hard? You are just so lovely 😊
Thank you so much for watching! Yes please try this clay tho it takes practice too. You can ask me anything if you need help. Yes it dries hard like polymer clay if you know that. It's actually have smoother finished. I did a durability test for my next video 😁
@@ClayBum good day have u ever try to add soap to your clay
@@suriyasanusi8874 yes but it will not make the clay better. It just making it softer and sticker for me.
Hello, I made it but a lot pf times it kinda "cracks" but it like where I connected the clay
How do you avoid this?
Also it changes consistensy when I paint it :(
Hi. If it the whole mold is cracks then it is overcooked but if it where only where you connect the parts it means you're not blending it. you should blend the parts so it won't cracks. you should also knead it and make a ball before you mold it to prevent cracks.
Acrylic paints will really change the consistency of the clay due to it's ingredients. the water is making it stickier/softer.
if you dont want that, try other colorants with minimum water like gel food color or powder food color. not the liquid one.
San mo po nabili un glue?
Bakit parang bagaak nung akin! Kapag ba nagknead tuloy tuloy pag lagay ng cream?
did not crock when clay dry?
No, if you make it right :)
@@ClayBum when your'e art almost done we need to cook again ?
@@ClayBum thankyou your'e video very helpful
Hello, is their any way to make my work a water proof? Hope you can answer my question thank you
You can glaze or seal it with uv resin or water based polyurethane. But to make sure waterproofing you need to coat it at least 3x.
hello! can i use cornstarch instead of cream when kneading? or petroleum jelly? if i decided to us cornstarch/petroleum jelly, will it not be flexible when thin?
@@binissaaa i suggest don’t use too many cornstarch, but petroleum jelly for kneading is better!

Yes po pero eto kay nag sshrink by 15-20%
Hi, can I already put acrylic paint before cooking airdry clay?
Yes. Some are doing that but I suggest you just do it if you will use it within a week because colored clay is prone to molds.
@@ClayBum tysm will try it later! My finished product which is just plain is a bit sticky, what should I do?
@@elaizaivydiones7819 knead it until your satisfied with the consistency.what lotion or cream did you use while kneading it? Sometimes different lotions makes the clay stickier. I only tested nivea cream, vaseline lotion(yellow /green)
@@elaizaivydiones7819 if the clay is still really soft and sticky. You can cook it again. Just be mindful not to overcooked it.
@@ClayBum thank you, will try it later ❤️
Hi! Can I ask what paint are u using to color your clays po?
Kung anong available po yun kinukulay ko, pero madalas ay gel food color ot yung powder.
Can another kind of powder be replaced?
Thank you 😍
No.i think It should be 100% cornstarch or else you can't have the same consistency and durability.
Hi Nikka, where is Region I located? I love your video Tutorials on Clay, I did not know anything about airdry clay, I bought them for my grandkids, they love doing things out of airdry clay, I am retired now and I want to do something to help me pass the time, aside from doing things at my garden, I was into doing clay,, not as good as you do,, Ha Ha Ha,
Thank you again! I'm from Philippines :)
I hope that my videos could help you work with air dry clay. I bet you will enjoy sculpting too ♥ you could make little ornaments on a dish garden. Just be mindful not to soak the figure on water if youre using air dry clay, it should be varnished too. You can make a lot of things using the diy clay ♥ from figurines, accessories, charms, ornaments etc.
Do you need to add white color for making white articles
Yes definitely. If not it’ll dry yellowish
@@ClayBum thanku
hi,did the clay will be harden in atleast 5 days? or it wont be?
It will dry in 2 days depends on the thickness.
Can I add coloring medium (acrylic for example) during the cooking process? Your answer will be much appreciated!
Yes, you can! I know artists that do that. tho I only recommend doing that if you will use all the clay immediately or within a week or so. because colored clay is prone to molds.
@@ClayBum okay, that's great to know! One last question. Do i have to let my clay sit first for few hours before using it? Thanks!
Yes. Tho you can immediately use it but 6 hrs or so would be great.
Hi there! Thank you for the tutorial. I just made my first batch today however it didn’t turn out well :( the texture is quite hard like a bread dough. Is it overcooked? When i kept stirring my mixture it is stuck to my non stick pan, some of the dough started to dry out at the edges and on the bottom before all got dried through, so at the end i just took the remaining dough. i’m confused :(
Yes it is overcooked. You should put it on a very very low heat. If the stove version doesn't work very well for you. You can try the microwave version ruclips.net/video/VfFQK_JtnJA/видео.html
Also check if the non stick pan you're using is not ripped.
white po talaga ung outcome yan pag na dry o translusent?? or need pa lagyan ng dye?
Translucent siya. Magandang mag-add muna ng white color kung gusto mong white talaga ang finished color.
True 😁 depende sa project mo. If gusto mo semi transparent then wag mo lagyan ng white paint
Omg , finnaly found the best diy, thank you 😁😁
Yes! Simple ingredients but definitely durable and flexible 😍😁

@@BonsaiWeekend Thank you so much! 💙💙
Will this work with potato starch as well ?
I’m not sure. I haven’t tried that. But I think it will create different texture
Ik its a old video i hope you can help me i tried to make the clay mine is okay when i made it but its soo sticky the next day its sticking to the ziplock bag my hands everywhere i however used some moisturizer on hands and made some charms and they shrinked a lot like 50% they became so tiny any help pls?😢😢
Did i undercook it or does it happen to everyone the sticky clay after next day of making 😿😿
Yes I think it is undercooked. What moisturizer are you using to knead it? Sometimes lotions with high amount of water makes the clay stickier.
Yes DIY clay really does shrinks a lot! It is one of its cons, but for some it is pros when making miniatures.
@@ClayBum I used ponds cold cream
@@ClayBum yes and i used it in past it never shrinked that much I think it's the undercooking I was scared of overcooking and cracks I undercooked it lol😂
@@ClayBum if I'm not bothering do u have any tips on how to dry figurines and chibi pieces if I keep them flat the back of their head becomes soo flat I dont know how to dry them without them losing their shape 😿😿
H, i love your videos and was really interested in making my own cold porcelain, so i tried your receip. Everything went well during cooking process, then i place it in the refrigerator in a air tight container with hand cream and plastic wrap for 24 h, but when i take it off the plastic, it is way too sticky, i don't know what i have done wrong, do you have any idea how i can fix it or should i made another batch ? but i will redo the same mistake probably. anyway, many thanks for your sharing.
Hmmm. You don't need to put it in the fridge. I tried that but for me it's the same. What hand cream did you use? Sometimes it affects the clay making it stickier maybe because of too much water it contains.
You can cook it again or knead it more in front of fan but don't use the same cream. Tell me first what it is. The creams I used that works is Nivea cream, vaseline lotion (green /yellow)
@@ClayBum my cream is dove, i will try vaseline ;) but first i will cook it again a bit to see if its get better. many thanks for your answer.
@@marrypickford5315 yes. You will know if the cream is the problem when you added it and knead it. Compare kneading it without the cream and with the cream.
can you mix it with cologne or perfume or not but it's super cool
I think you can. I haven't tried it yet tho 🤔
Yes...i tried essential oil.
Would it be okay to paint over it once it dries?
Yes it's totally fine as long as you wait it to dry completely. 2-3 days depending on it's thickness
Can I use fevicol SH?
Hello. I think its better to use the fevicol MR. I'm not sure about resin adhesive it will have the same consistency
Wow this is a really good recipe (I only made a little didn't have enough materials) but I'm wondering is this homemade clay good for figures or should I just buy cold porcelain/resin clay?
It really depends on your liking. If you don't have much budget to buy clay then this clay is so good for you. This does takes a lot of time and effort but it's the same quality as the cold porcelain you will buy. The only difference is that you will put more effort on this diy clay because making it itself is trial and error and when you use it you should knead it properly etc.
@@ClayBum alrighty thank you!!
I tried to make it with a regular pan and it was impossible and it hurt my arms and hands like crazy. I am going to buy one jus to do clay and I hope it works
Ohhh noo... I'm sorry that happened to you. That's really frustrating! That's why it is required to use non-stick pan.
I made it again and it was more easy but I used a wood spoon... For the next one I will use a plastic one 😐 it got stick with the spoon soo hard 💀
I tried it but it appears foamy. Any suggestion on how to fix it, please. 😊
Foamy? Did you use the same ingredients? If it's too soft to handle, you can cook it again but it's not sticking to hands. You can just knead it for couple of minutes in front of fan.
Yes, I used the same ingredients. It appears like the texture of bread and I knead it many times already.
@@mariejorenaclairelapuz6626 oohh it's the opposite. Is it crumbly? You overcooked it 😬 oh no. Undercooked is better than overcooked. When I experienced that, I couldn't fix it. I just cook another batch that is undercooked and mix it to overcooked
I guess it's overcooked. 😢. Thanks for the response. ❤
@@mariejorenaclairelapuz6626 aww that's alright. It's really trial and error. You will perfect it next time
Can i use vaseline instead of nivea cream?
Yes, sure
How to use caly color plz tell me
ruclips.net/video/0ueiA5XOLv4/видео.html
Can we use clear glue for this??
Hello. I'm not sure but I bet it'll create different texture and outcome
ung nivea cream nikka lotion..? any lotion will do ba 😅😃
Depende. Naka gamit ako ng lotion kasi nag try ako ng iba. Lumagkit yung clay 😅
pwede yung vaseline na green na try ko dati. Siguro pwede mag try ng ibat ibang lotion. Kaso sobra dami lotion. Haha
Hi, I would like to ask how many days after making the clay can I use it for my craft?
6 hours is the minimum
@@ClayBum hahaha mine was like a bread . Thank you tho, would try it again. 😄
@@aneria2122 did you used same ingredients and brand of glue? If yes then you overcooked it. It’s really trial and error. You can do it!
@@ClayBum hi, just an update. I think i Got it now but sad to say it’s not bendable.perhaps it is because of the glue is used. I just use the ordinary white glue I found at the bookstore. Will update you if I can try it with shelwood. Thank you so much for the help
Hi, I already use the same product you used in making the clay, but the problem is when it dries,it starts to shrink and it is very visible. It’s like my figurine is sick. 🤣
Idk what’s the problem tho.
How do you store this after preparation?
After putting it on the clinging wrap, I put it in an air tight container.
Clay Bum Hi. Yes I got that much from the video. But you didn’t mention anything about storage. Do you store it in the fridge, freezer? Roughly what temperature would be good for storage? Thank you 🙏🏽
Hi! Is it normal that the clay i made is sticking to my hands,rolling pin and acrylic pad.. please help. Thanks!
Hello. No it's not normal. If the clay is still too soft and sticky it means it's undercooked. You need to cook it more but do not over cooked it as it has more downsides if overcooked. It's really trial and error.
If it's not too soft but still sticky means you've used a cream/lotion that contains a lot of water.
Did you use the same recipes?
@@ClayBum yes i did use the same recipes.. followed instruction.. 24 hrs rest.. then when i tried.. it sticks to my hand.. i used jergens lotion..
@@detflores7586 yes the lotion makes it stickier. When you're kneading it after cooking it's not sticking to your hands?. The only lotion that works for me is Nivea cream and vaseline lotion (green&yellow) when I use other brands of lotion it makes my clay stickier and I cannot work with it.
If you don't have vaseline you can use petroleum jelly. Just don't put too much.
@@ClayBum Gosh i made a total of 5 with Jergens😞😞😞
Thank you so much for your insight😊😊😊😊😊
Love your channel! Keep it up!!
God bless you!! Keep safe!!😊😊😊
@@detflores7586 thank you so much! Doesn't matter that's alright. Just knead them for a couple of minutes in front of fan then it will be fine.. If necessary use a bit of petroleum. None is fine if you haven't bought vaseline yet.
Hi Nikka, why is that my output is a bit powdery. I can't form a perfect chibi head as it always have a crack or lines :( I am using Elmers glue but not sure if the constarch is 100%.
Hello there. It shouldn't have cracks. First, is to be sure if you're using 100% cornstarch it's important, the elmers glue should be white glue. If you're using the right ingredients but you can't still achieve the right consistency then you're cooking it wrong. Don't overcooked the clay. It's a trial and error
Found out that the cornstarch i used wasn't 100% :)
Hindi po ba aamagin Yan???kahit naka store ng 8months?
Siguro po. Na try ko naman ng 4 months. Basta walang added colors at malinis at maayos ang pagkaka store at seal at air tight ay hindi sya magkaka molds. Wag nyo po lalagyan ng kulay kapag hindi pa gagamitin. mas prone kasi ang colored clay sa molds :)
Hi! Thank you for the recipe! I tried many recipes of clay, including your. But when the dough cool down, it loose the elasticity. And when I add colour it crumble.
Hello there. You overcooked the clay. That's why it's crumbly. You should cook it on a very low heat and get it once it forms into a ball or when it's not in liquid form anymore. It's trial and error
Can we add 50 percent all purpose flour?
Hmm yes but I've tried it and I don't like the consistency. It's really up to you what will work best for you :)
Is this clay shrink after drying
yes a lot like 15-20%
@@ClayBum can I use fevicol...
great video. by the way whats the difference when you cook or not cook the clay?
Thank you! Hmm for me, cooked cold porcelain clay is better, it doesn't sag like uncooked does and its much much durable. I don't really recommend the uncooked version
@@ClayBum thanks!
@@ClayBum hi po.. Pwde b petroleum or vaseline ang gamitin than nivea cream?..at matigas po b sia or mabigat o lightweight po pg ntpos.. Then gaano po sia ktgal patigasin bago iwaterproof?
Can it be done on microwave instead?
Yes I have a video using microwave version ruclips.net/video/VfFQK_JtnJA/видео.html
Hi! Thank you for the recipe. Can you write the recipe in grams? I tried many recipes, including your, but when the dough became could it loose the elasticity. And when I added colour , it crumble.
It's 1:1 ratio.
Been making some homemade air dry clay I used to make it many years ago one of my favourite mediums I haven't done clay modeling in so many years cos of my fibromyalgia baby steps I think am missing it so much
I'm so excited that this recipe has worked out it's a dream it's perfect and I did it 1st time round too I can't believe it now I really hope it will not crack and break when it drys will test it next week
I used lemon juice and pva wood glue the clay has a tint of yellow in it though
And I used Vaseline I really hope it don't crack when dry
Welcome back!! I'm excited for you too!! 😍 Oohh I haven't tried wood glue tho. I hope it doesn't crack (finger crossed)
I
Thank you I will let you know if it cracks
facebook.com/Nicoleartsncrafts/
I've been playing with my homemade clay to test to see if it cracks this evening my hands have come up with red rashes they are sore I've used the wrong glue it's toxic wood glue and I need better paints !! Cos I've only got cheap £1 paints ! LOL need to try and make the clay again with non toxic glue
I've tested small items no cracks but dries yellow it cracks when I try and twist the clay together it cracks though and the clay keeps coming up with little black spots which is very annoying need to REST now I will try again with normal pva glue sometime in the furture xx
Mine seems sticky? What is the best fix?
Maybe it’s undercooked. You can cook it more a bit or just knead it in front of a fan until it’s not sticky anymore.
Is this the clay you're making all of your works from? (Also for the latest figures)
Hello. Not all of my works are made from this clay. You can see the description of every video of what it's made from. The latest figures are made from resin air dry clay but you can absolutely make it too with this clay.
Hi i have a question. I think mine was undercook? It keep on sticking. Huhu. Actually i used double portion of what you have done. What should i do. Well i still need to reheat it or any suggestion
Yes just cook it again if it's too sticky to handle. Check also if the lotion you're using makes it stickier.
@@ClayBum it works. I just burn some area but just small parts . Thank you.😘😘😘
Hi clay bum.. i love your figurines.. 😍😁👍🏻and ive tried using pva white glue available in our market here to make the clay.. but unfortunately it breaks when dried.. 😭its not as flexible as yours.. i'll try other brands that available..so far i tried 3 brands but nothing is working..😢😭
Aww, thank you. Wah 😢 I'm sorry for that, tho I only tried 2 brands. Shelwood (the best one) and Elmers glue. There's another reason why it create cracks and breaks when dried, if it's overcooked. Don't overcooked it on your first try. Cook it on the lowest heat possible. If that's not the problem, then the glue it is. It's really trial and error. I hope you can make it the next time
Thanks dear...i'll try to do it again very soon..😁👍🏻
Try fevicol
Just want to ask, what will be the effect if it is not put into heat, or if it is not cooked? And how long will this lasts?😊 by the way i love watching your videos that encourage me to try clay art🙂 im a newbie to be exact😅
Thank you for watching! I don't recommend uncooked clay, I tried it long time ago and it's hard to calculate the right amount of ingredients. Particles of starch are sticky to hands. Not as durable as the cooked version. It's more prone to molds! even it's already dried and it's sagging.
The pros of it is that it doesn't shrink much like the cooked, easy to color and it doesn't dried translucent.
You can store it for months even a year I think. As long as it's stored well and you haven't put colors yet. If you put colors to it, you should use it within a week or so. but uncolored clay will last a really long time, use clinging wrap and air tight sealed plastic or container
