Step by Step Instructions

1. In the bowl add the cup of cornflour and pour in the white PVA craft glue and mix thoroughly to combine

​

2. Heat the mixture in the microwave on 40 second intervals stirring thoroughly between heating.

​

Tip: Corn starch will sudden go very thick so watch carefully after the first 40 second burst.

​

After the 3rd go in the microwave you should start to notice the consistency becoming like cottage cheese and thickening.

​

Continue to stir well and keep putting the mixture back into heat for 30 second intervals.

​

3. When the mixture reaches play dough consistency and is not sticky you can begin to knead the dough.

​

4. Once thoroughly knead add oil a drop at a time until you can pull the mixture leaving a smooth peak.

​

5. If you would like your dough to be opaque white (or another colour) you can add a coin sized dollop of white craft paint to the mixture and knead well to combine.

​

6. Place the dough in plastic and leave over night in a cool but not not cold place.

​

You can use your dough in a similar way to playdough and leave the pieces to air dry for 48 hours.

​

7. For added protection finish the pieces with a matte or gloss varnish to taste.
