If you want tinted clay, mix a few drops of food coloring into the water.

Remove the mixture from the heat, turn it onto a plate, and cover it with a damp cloth until it's cool. Knead the clay until it's smooth, then shape it however you like. Let your sculpture dry overnight before decorating and finishing it.

- Thank you for your recipes. I'm an artist & have tried to find a good homemade clay recipe for a while now. I think I found it on your site... My 6 yo & I just had a blast this morning with your no bake clay. Can't wait to paint our creations! :)
