Food Dehydrator Clay
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water
Mix flour and salt together, then add water. Blend mixture by
hand. Knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes into a pliable, moist ball.
Roll dough on a well-floured surface, adding flour to the top
of the dough so it will not stick. Keep surface well-floured as
you roll and turn dough. Cut into shapes or make figurines
and then dry.
Holiday Ornaments
Roll dough thin - as you would a cookie. Use cookie cutters
for designs. Make extra ornaments to use as testers. You’ll
break the testers to see if dough is completely dry all the way
through.
Sprinkle a little flour on the dehydrator trays and place
ornaments (not touching each other) on the trays.
Dehydrate for 48-60 hours. You really can’t over-dry them.
Be sure your testers break with a snap and are completely
dry inside.
1. Roll dough as smoothly as possible.
2. Remember not to make ornaments/art too tall. They
must fit within the tray height without touching the next
tray on the top.
3. Paint with craft paint after dehydrating or color dough
with food coloring prior to molding. Clear spray helps
preserve your crafts.
Mexican Dough Art
2 cups baking soda
1 1⁄4 cups cold water
1 cup cornstarch
Combine ingredients in pan. Cook, stirring continuously, for
about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens and forms into a
ball. Knead by hand until smooth. Form into jewelry, figurines,
small sculptures, beads or art. Dry in your food dehydrator
and paint, if desired. Finish by spraying with a clear plastic to
seal and protect.
