Craft Recipes - Sawdust Clay

2/3 Parts fine sawdust
˝ Parts flour
Water

To mix the clay, use a large bowl or bucket. Mix 2/3 parts of
sawdust and 1/3 part of flour together. (NOTE: sawdust should not
contain any redwood sawdust.) Pour in water and mix until it reaches a
stiff but 'squishy' consistency. Add more flour if it is too crumbly.
The clay needs some kneading before the gluten in the flour becomes
elastic, holding the sawdust together. Work it in your hands or on
a table top covered with newspapers. Play with the clay a little until
it becomes easy to shape. This clay air-dries very hard. It should
be placed directly in the sun, if possible. When dry, you can sand
it or not, depending upon what you like.

Use tempera or acrylic paints to decorate the finished objects.
To give your pieces a glossy coating, spray with acrylic clear finish
or paint with acrylic floor wax.
