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

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.

this sounds great. I have everything on hand but the clove oil. Is that essential, or just for aroma?
