Process
Step 1. Mix
The first thing is to take the medium glass and fill it halfway with water. Pour it into the deep plate and add a tablespoon of oil. It will also be time to add the drops of dye so put the one you like the most to this mixture. Add at this moment the glass of flour and the cornstarch. Finish by adding the spoon of salt. Take the wooden stick or spoon and start stirring all these ingredients very well until it reaches a somewhat liquid texture or similar to that of slime.
Step 2. Harden
Surely the mixture will need more firmness so add flour little by little and mix with the stick to make it thicker. Once it has reached such a thick texture that it is difficult to stir it, put flour on a flat and clean surface and pour your clay mixture there. Start kneading as if you were making a pizza dough, doing it in a circular way until the plasticine takes the consistency you know. Be very careful not to overdo it with the quantities so that it is not too dry and you cannot manipulate it. Ready, to play and create wonderful things with your homemade clay.
