Now on sale a very large selection of polymer clays, both tugs and self-hardening. But sometimes for the project, a large amount of clay is needed, and the prices of it are high. Also in many cities it is still difficult to find PopperKles. For those who prefer to sculpt from self-hardening clay, I propose a simple recipe from the available components. Clay is durable after drying and easy to work. It is perfectly toned by both watercolor paints and acrylic. Polished with a shallow eye.
So, let's go.
For the manufacture of PopperKeli, we will need:
- Toilet paper or monochrome napkins,
- PVA glue,
- dry plaster-based powder
- flour,
- starch,
- baby or olive oil,
- Scales,
- Tara for kneading
Above listed all the necessary ingredients, and now the proportions:
- 20g toilet paper (napkins),
- 75g PVA glue,
- 125gr gypsum dry putty,
- 50g flour,
- 20gr of children's or olive oil,
- 50g starch.
The course of work is as follows:
The first thing we need to do is to clear the 20 grams of toilet paper, about one third of the standard roll. Paper can be taken any, but from her color will depend on the final shade of clay. Thus, if you need a white clay, we take white paper, if color, respectively, green, pink, blue ...
Pour hot water in order for the paper spacing.
Toilet paper quickly absorbs water and soften.
Squeeze excess water and crumbled paper into small pieces.
The next component is PVA glue, 75 grams.
Pour glue into softening pieces of paper.
We mix well, try to achieve a homogeneous mass.
After that we have weigh 125 grams of dry plaster-based powder. This putty is sold in building stores in different packaging, the price is within 95 rubles.
Pour the putty into paper with glue. Thoroughly mix, it will stick to hand, it is better to knead in gloves. Gypsum is very dry by the skin of the hands.
Next take 50 grams of ordinary flour.
Gradually add to our mixture, also achieve homogeneity. At this stage, the mixture is buzzing.
And therefore, we need to be associated with each other next component. Oil acts as a binder. 20 grams of children or olive gradually pour into the resulting crumbly mixture. The clay becomes soft, increases the time of grasp gypsum.
The last component you want to add to clay is starch. It is better to take corn, but I did not have it at hand, replaced with potato.
Suck starch and mix.
Starch pleasantly crumbs in his hands, the clay stops sticking to his hands. But it may be possible that the mixture is back to crumble, you can add a tablespoon of water to communicate. The main thing is not to overdo it.
Men as ordinary dough. Clay is supplied with elastic, elastic. Poppercles ready. You can start the carriage.
When the fiber is visible, cellulose fibers.
The total weight of the finished clay I got 410 grams. I spent about 200 rubles for putty and oil, the rest of the components were.
Store clay follows in cellophane or zip package, removing all air as possible, and still need to put in a plastic container and close the lid. The shelf life of clay depends on the temperature indoors and air access. Therefore, when used to tear small pieces of clay, and the main mass is sealing.
I break the pancroe in action. They blinded the face for teddy-dollars. It is very perfect, smoothing irregularities with water, the form holds. Keeping will be about a day. After drying, you can sand irregularity of the shallow eye.
Faming Forers, pre-sprinkled with a gypsum shape with starch. The cast is clear, almost does not need correction.
Also requalified a jar. The next day, everything dried and ready to paint.
That's all. If you are interested in such a clay, and that one can still be loosened, write in the comments. I will try to make the next master class on the decor exactly from this clay. All success in creativity, inspiration and inexhaustible energy.
