17. Talc-Free Baby Powder Soft Clay
Infused with cosmetic-grade baby powder or cornstarch-based body powder, this luxurious clay feels silky soft to the touch and imparts a clean, comforting scent to your crafting studio.
- Introduction: Gentle on hands and boasting a wonderfully velvety texture, this baby powder clay air-dries into a smooth, porcelain-like finish that takes acrylic paint and ink exceptionally well.
- Ingredients Needed: 2 cups talc-free baby powder (cornstarch-based), 1 cup white PVA craft glue, and 1 tablespoon lotion or cold cream.
- How to Make It: In a mixing bowl, combine the talc-free baby powder and white PVA glue. Stir with a spatula until a thick, cohesive dough begins to form. Add the lotion or cold cream to enhance flexibility and prevent premature cracking. Turn the dough out onto a powder-dusted surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until silky and smooth. Shape immediately into your desired projects and let air-dry on parchment paper for 24 to 36 hours.
