Cold Porcelain Clay

Buying clay from outside is expensive. It is easy & low-cost to make at home. 

We can easily mold it to many number of ways. It hardens when exposed to air.

Lets make the Cold Porcelain Clay,,,

Step: 1
Items required

1. Nonstick pan
2. Wooden Spoon
3. Corn Starch
4. Glue
5. Lemons
6. Baby oil
7. Acrylic Colors
8. Measuring cup



Step: 2

One by one we will take all these ingredients in a nonstick pan
           - 240 ml Corn starch
           - 240 ml Glue
           - 2 Tbsp Lemon juice
           - 2 Tbsp Baby oil




Mix it well,until u get a nice mixture.
There should be no lumps.





Step: 3 

Cook this mixture on a low heat for around 15 minutes. Keep stirring continuously.
After 15 minutes it starts pulling away from the sides of the pan. At this point switch off the flame and takeout the pan from stove.

Step: 4

Apply some lotion to both the hands and to the surface to avoid this mixture from sticking.

Takeout the mixture from the pan and knead it continuously until the mixture cools.




Step: 5

Apply some lotion to the polythene cover.
Once the mixture cools down make it like a ball shape and place this on the cover and fold it tightly from all the sides.
Put it in a Ziploc bag and keep this in dark and cool place for 24 hrs undisturbed.

Step: 6

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,,,
After 24 hrs the clay will become soft and smooth.
By following these two steps, you can know the condition of the clay.

1. Press with your finger, then it should leave your finger impression. And it  shouldn't stick to your finger.
2. It should form a tear drop shape when pulled apart.

Step: 7

If you would like to make colored clay, take required amount of clay and add few drops of color of your taste and knead it thoroughly.

You can adjust the color of clay by adding few more color drops(for dark) or white clay(for light).





After every use, keep the remaining clay in an air tight cover to avoid the clay becoming dry.

Don't worry about your Nonstick pan, it is very easy to clean the mess.
Stay tuned to know what I am going to make with this clay,,,

Paper Wall Clock

No one likes to throw any old or unused things. Even me too. Somehow we will try to Reuse them anywhere. I am Seeing so many magazines lying in my shelf. So i thought of making something useful by Reusing those papers. Then I came up with an idea of making Paper Wall Clock.

Here is the Wall Clock I made. I know you liked it :). Go and grab some Old News Papers or Magazines and follow the simple steps I'm showing.

Lets get started,,,,,

Step: 1

Let me show the items we need, before starting the process.

You will need these 4 items.

- Magazines [2 ct]

- Clock Machine

- Glue

- Straw

I want colors in my clock here and there. That is reason I used Magazines.

If u want only Black and White, you can use News Paper.

Step: 2

Take one paper and place the straw at one end and start rolling. Roll the paper tightly but not too much tight. Roll till the end as shown in the above picture.

Apply some glue at the end of the roll, remove the excess glue and paste it.

Take out the Straw from the roll.

       



Step: 3

Place the roll on the ground and press it gently from one edge to the other. Make some rolls like this.

I made around 200 rolls like this






Step: 4

Take one roll and start rolling tightly from one end. Once you reach the other end apply some glue and join one more roll and continue with rolling. Repeat the process until you get your desired size.
While making the roundel, don't forget to count the number of rolls you are using to make one roundel. This way, you will get even sized roundels.

Step: 5

Make 12 roundels like this for the 12 numbers.
Make them evenly.

Make one big roundel like this for the center part.
Apply glue throughout the strip, otherwise it will become loose.





Before starting the center part, check the size of your machine [which will be written on the back side of the package]. Leave that much space in the middle as shown in the picture to fix the machine.

Step: 6

Make 4-inch 12 Strips like this by folding the paper.
Do not make these too thick.
I did not use any straw.




Step: 7
Now we have to connect the Small Roundels to the center part.

Make a little gap in the small roundel by using toothpick and insert the strip into that gap. Insert the other end into the center part by making a small gap. Bring them close.

Step: 8

Cut the excess part of the strip and join the two strip edges by using glue. Be careful while joining the edges. Because this is the only thing that is connecting the Center part and the Small Roundels.
Let it Dry for sometime.

After Connecting all the 12 Small Roundels to the center part, it will look like this.





Step: 9

Fix the machine at the center as per the manual given in its package.






After doing this much process, I didn't feel like taking any risk. So for more safety I placed some plasters on the backside.

Step: 10
Ta DA,,,,,,,
Your Wall clock is ready.
Hang it on the wall carefully.

This is how it looks on the wall.
You can customize the size as per your requirements.

You can make & present this for a Housewarming function. They're gonna love it :)
