[lizsheppard]

Wow. If I don’t like my sculpture, in the end, I can toss in in the compost. Fantastic!

I just stumbled across this and I must tell this is one of the most informative and nicest tutorials I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing - I can't wait to try it out!

Honestly, your video just popped up on my feed - I don’t know if my phone is listening, but I was actually about to buy clay to sculpt strawberries.
Well, your vid popped up, and as I already decided what clay to use I clicked on it with zero expectations. BUT WTH, this is so good!! Not only is this clay amazing, it’s the way you just answered every single question I would’ve had during the video. I’ll use YOUR clay now; thank you YT for showing me this super cool video!
You are awesome btw! I’m a fan now! THANK YOU!! 😍

I've seen alot of videos with recipes for air dry clay but this is the only one that explains what the ingredients are for, if it's safe for the pan, how long the clay last and the quality of the sculpt! Thanks so much for the informative video!

[barbarawalsh]

I just bought some molds, I planned to use with Air Dry Clay. When looking for an easy recipe, I found yours.👍👍 Thank you so much. My projects are now well on their way. ❤❤

[Nostalgic_Genesis]

I tried this recipe today but with half the amount, and it's the best clay I've ever had! I am gonna keep it in the fridge for now because I currently have no energy. I am still a little worried about the clay getting moldy, but hopefully it'll be fine. Thank you so much for this perfect recipe!

[denisejones]

Thanks for sharing that! Very useful!❤️

[hans-joergfroehlich]

Wow, what a great Tutorial. You have a wonderfully clear Voice 👋❤️‍🔥👋

[LisabettaMedaglia]

Thank you so much for including a non-microwave option! My hubby and I don't have a microwave, and chose not to get one, since we both love cooking, so we never had a need for one. That is, until I find cool things like this to make, and they don't offer a non-microwave option. Thanks so much!
