When creating the clay
When the clay is not sticking to your hands, it is ready!
When the clay is no longer sticking to the pot and forming together, you can then turn off the stove.
Cook the mixture on medium heat for 6 mins while stirring continuously.
Don’t panic when there are lumps, they are normal.
Mix all the ingredients and measure carefully with the silicone spatula.
The consistency must be a goopy syrup.
Letting the clay cool down
Wrap it with the cling wrap and put it in an airtight container which will make it last for 3-4 months!
It should separate easily and create a stiff teardrop shape which is what you need to achieve!
Coat the clay with the baby oil to keep it from drying out.
Please be careful as it’s hot!
You can either knead the clay for 5 mins until it cools down.
Use Vaseline on your hands so it wouldn’t stick.
Then spread some cornstarch on the table of where you will knead the clay mixture.
