仅用三种你厨房里（很可能）已有的原料，就能自制免烘烤陶土！我管它叫免烘烤陶土界的“花椰菜米”——它是纯手工制作的，因此格外有趣；但其耐久性不如工业化量产的陶土。话虽如此，我四年前做的一个作品至今仍完好如初。
我多次仅用小苏打、玉米淀粉和冷水来制作这款陶土，但这次还额外挤入了几滴（何必精确计量呢？）Elmer’s胶水。加了胶水的这一批陶土尤其不掉渣，且在我做的耐久性测试中表现极佳。

第三部分｜免烘烤后，自制免烘烤陶土的耐久性如何？根据我反复摔落它的次数来看——相当耐用！仅用三种你厨房里（很可能）已有的原料，就能自制免烘烤陶土！我管它叫免烘烤陶土界的“花椰菜米”。它是纯手工制作的，因此格外有趣；但其耐久性不如工业化量产的陶土。话虽如此，我四年前做的一个作品至今仍完好如初。第一部分将详细演示制作步骤，配方如下：小苏打 2 杯｜玉米淀粉 1 杯｜冷水 1¼ 杯｜**我情不自禁地加了一点 Elmer’s 胶水 #homemade #diy #diyclay #homemadeclay #airdryclaytutorial #airdryclay #airdryclaytutorial #airdryclay #crafts #craftideas

所有DIY及自制产品，其耐久性都无法与市售工业化量产产品相提并论。本配方还受人为因素影响——就像做饼干一样，除非你每天全天候反复制作，否则每一批成品都会因诸多变量而略有差异。它可能略显易碎，不太适合制作细小精巧的部件，而且（如同所有类型的陶土）本身具有一定脆性。尽管如此，它趣味十足，能提供极佳的触觉体验，我也曾做出过一些出人意料地经久耐用的艺术作品！
自制免烘烤陶土配方
- 小苏打 2 杯
- 玉米淀粉 1 杯
- 冷水 1¼ 杯
- **我情不自禁地加了一点 Elmer’s 胶水——完全可选。而网络上总爱提醒我：加了胶水，这配方严格来说就变成四种原料了。

第一部分｜自制免烘烤陶土
仅用厨房里（很可能）已有的三种材料，就能自制免烘烤陶土！我称它为免烘烤陶土界的“花椰菜米”。它是纯手工制作的，因此趣味十足；但相比工业化量产的陶土，其耐久性稍逊一筹。不过话说回来，我四年前做的作品至今依然完好如初！
小苏打：2 杯
玉米淀粉：1 杯
冷水：1¼ 杯
**我情不自禁地额外加了一点埃尔默胶（Elmer’s glue）

用自制免烘烤陶土能做什么？
一旦你制成了陶土，可创作的内容便无穷无尽！我尤其钟爱节日主题作品——它们非常适合作为装饰挂件及其他节庆装饰。
@thatartteachermachado
第五部分｜简易装饰挂件（使用自制免烘烤陶土）
利用自制免烘烤陶土、饼干模具、丙烯颜料及可选珠子，就能轻松制作这些挂件。这种陶土其实相当耐用（请参看第 3 集视频中的耐久性测试），但市售陶土仍能提供更长久的保存效果。你也可用水彩、Mod Podge 或马克笔进行装饰——只需确保陶土已 100% 完全干燥后再上色即可。建议自然风干 24 小时；或放入烤箱以 180 华氏度（约 82 摄氏度）烘烤 2–3 小时以加速干燥。陶土制作切忌心急，请务必耐心等待！

第六部分｜免烘烤陶土圣诞树
制作这些简洁版免烘烤陶土圣诞树，是我体验过的最愉快的手工过程！我先将陶土擀成树形，再用勺子按压出有趣肌理，最后以金属质感丙烯颜料上色。你也可用水彩、Mod Podge 或马克笔装饰——只需确保陶土已 100% 完全干燥后再上色即可。建议自然风干 24–48 小时；或放入烤箱以 180 华氏度（约 82 摄氏度）烘烤 2–3 小时以加速干燥。陶土制作切忌心急，请务必耐心等待！

以下是一些其他创意点子：
自制免烘烤黏土常见问题解答
为什么我的原料太稀了？
你需要用中低火持续搅拌，直到所有原料聚合成一大团。如果仍呈液态，就继续搅拌，并略微调高火力。低温慢煮效果最佳。
为什么我的黏土容易碎裂？
加热过程中可能需要加入更多水。此外，若冷却时跳过了覆盖湿布这一步，黏土也会更易碎。请务必等黏土完全冷却（至少30分钟！），并用湿布盖好，以帮助其锁住水分。
这种黏土能保存多久？
将黏土放入密封容器中储存；我曾保存超过两周。实际保质期取决于容器密封性、当地气候，以及你使用时黏土暴露在空气中的时间长短。
它会发霉吗？
只要存放在密封容器中，我的黏土从未发霉，也从未产生异味。我通常很快就会用完，但如果你放置长达六个月，结果可能有所不同。
它会有异味吗？
在整个制作与储存过程中，我的黏土从未产生任何异味。它的主要成分之一是小苏打，因此始终清新无味。
能用它制作模具吗？
我不建议用自制黏土制作模具。推荐选用经窑烧或专用于模具的塑形黏土——这类黏土更耐用，黏合成分更强。
能用它制作手印装饰挂件吗？
可以，但我个人不会用DIY黏土制作纪念性装饰挂件。它是一种有趣的工艺体验，但若希望作品终身保存，请选购DAS塑形黏土或AMACO免烘烤黏土。
这是瓷土吗？
依我之见，并不是。网络上称其为“冷瓷黏土”，即一种模仿瓷土特性的DIY版本。虽然外观相似，但自制版无需高温烧制——而真正的瓷土须以高岭土等天然矿物为原料，经高温烧成，具备极高强度，常用于餐具等实用器物。
我拥有美术学士学位（主修陶艺），因此在我眼中，“瓷土”永远特指真正瓷土；不过，此配方确常被拿来与冷瓷黏土作比较。
能给它上色吗？
当然可以！可使用喷漆、丙烯、水彩、记号笔、Mod Podge胶水及水粉颜料。我喜欢在颜料干透后，用Krylon透明亮光喷雾进行封层处理。

Make your own air dry clay using three ingredients you (probably) already have in your kitchen! I call this the “cauliflower rice” of air dry clay. It is homemade, which makes it really fun, but it doesn’t have the longevity that a mass produced clay has. That being said, I still have an artwork I made four years ago and it has held up beautifully.
I have made this many times with just the baking soda, cornstarch and cold water, but I also added a few squirts (because why measure) of Elmer’s glue. The batch using glue was especially non-crumbly and held up very well during my durability test.

Part 3 | How Durable is Homemade Air Dry Clay After it Dries? According to how many times I dropped it, pretty darn durable! Make your own air dry clay using three ingredients you (probably) already have in your kitchen! I call this the “cauliflower rice” of air dry clay. It is homemade, which makes it really fun, but it doesn’t have the longevity that a mass produced clay has.

Anything DIY and homemade won’t have the same durability as a store bought mass produced product. This recipe also has the human factor. Just like a batch of cookies, unless you make it all day everyday, each batch will be different depending on so many factors. It can be crumbly, it’s not great for making small intricate pieces, and (like all types of clay) it can be fragile. That being said, it’s so much fun, provides a great tactile experience and I have made some surprisingly long lasting art pieces!
Homemade Air Dry Clay Recipe
- Baking Soda 2 cups
- Cornstarch 1 cup
- Cold Water 1 1/4 cups
- **I compulsively added a little bit of Elmer’s glue, which is totally optional. And the internet loves to remind me that adding glue technically makes this recipe four ingredients.

What to Make with Homemade Air Dry Clay
Once you have made your clay, the options are endless for what to create! I love anything holiday inspired and they make great ornaments and other decorations.
@thatartteachermachado
Part 5 | Easy Ornament Using Homemade Air Dry Clay These ornaments are so easy using homemade air dry clay, cookie cutters, acrylic paint and optional beads. This clay is pretty darn durable (check out video 3 for my durability test) but a store bought clay will give you longer lasting results. You can also use watercolor, modge podge or magic markers to decorate, just make sure you clay is 100% dry before painting. I recommend a 24 hour air dry time, or you can speed things up in the oven at 180 degrees for 2-3 hours. There is just no rushing clay, so be patient!

Part 6 | Air Dry Clay Christmas Trees I had THE MOST fun making these simple air dry clay Christmas trees. I rolled out a tree shape, pressed a spoon for a fun texture and then painted them with a metallic acrylic paint. You can also use watercolor, modge podge or magic markers to decorate, just make sure your clay is 100% dry before painting.

Here are some other ideas:
Homemade Air Dry Clay Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my ingredients so liquidy?
You need to stir on medium low heat until your ingredients form one big mass. If they are still liquidy, keep stirring and turn up the heat just a little. Low and slow is best.
Why is my clay so crumbly?
You may have needed more water as you were heating it. Also, if you skipped the step with the damp cloth while cooling it will also be more crumbly. Wait until your clay is totally cool (30 minutes at least!) and make sure you cover with a damp cloth to help it retain moisture.
How long can I store it?
Put your clay in an air tight container and I have kept mine for over two weeks. It depends on your container, your climate and how much time your clay spends in open air when you are working with it.
Will it mold?
My clay has never once molded or smelled bad when it’s been stored in an air tight container. I usually use mine up pretty fast, so if you let it sit for six months you might have a different experience.
Will it smell bad?
My clay has never smelled bad at any point of the process. One of its main ingredients is baking soda, so it is always fresh and odor free.
Can I use it for molds?
I would not recommend using homemade clay for molds. I would use a kiln fired or modeling clay that is more durable and has stronger binding ingredients.
Can I use this clay for handprint ornaments?
You can, but I personally wouldn’t make any keepsake ornament out of DIY clay. It’s a fun craft experience, but if you want something to last a lifetime buy DAS modeling clay or AMACO air dry clay.
Is this porcelain clay?
In my opinion, no. The internet has told me that this is “cold porcelain clay”, which is a DIY version that mimics the properties of porcelain. While it can look similar to porcelain, the homemade version doesn’t involve the high-heat firing process needed to create true porcelain, which is made from mined minerals like kaolin and is used for high durability functional pieces like dinnerware.
My Bachelor of Fine Arts degree has an emphasis in Ceramics, so porcelain to me will always be porcelain, but there have been many comparisons with this recipe and cold porcelain clay.
Can I paint it?
Absolutely! You can use spray paint, acrylic, watercolor, magic marker, modge podge and gouache. I like to seal it with Krylon’s clear gloss coat when the paint is dry.
