Dryer Lint Modeling Clay

Materials:
  • 6 cups dryer lint
  • 4 cups cold or warm water
  • 1 1/2 cup non-self-rising wheat flour
  • 6 drops oil of cloves
  • Old newspaper
  • pan
HOW TO:

1 - Put lint and water in a large saucepan. Stir to dampen all of the lint.

2 - Add flour and stir to prevent lumps.

3 - Add oil of cloves.

4 - Cook over low heat while stirring constantly, until mixture holds together and forms peaks.

5 - Pour out and cool on several thickness of newspaper.

Makes about 8 cups of modeling clay. You may shape over objects or press into a mold or use the same as you would use paper-maché pulp. It takes 3 to 5 days to dry to a very hard surface.

When wet, it is easily worked. Store unused portion in an airtight container. It will keep for several days.
