Ever wondered how to make clay? You can learn now!!

Ingredients

First, to make clay you need:

    1 cup of salt
    2 cups of flour (You might want to add more so the mixture won’t turn out gooey)
    2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
    ¾ or 1 cup of water
    A bowl
    An oven
    A tray where you can put your clay on

Step One

Step Two

Mix the flour and the salt along with the oil and the water. You are supposed to get a clay-like mixture so you have to mix well.

Step Three

Now you can design! Make the mixture into whichever shape you want it to turn out like. Tip: Do not make your clay too thick, it will break and turn out bad.

Step Four

Put your clay creations onto a tray and place it inside the oven. Cook it at 250 degrees for about an hour.

Last Step

Take the clay out of the oven and wait for it to cool. Afterwards, you may decorate it however you want. I wanted it to be a cup, so I put the mixture around a plastic cup and put it in the oven. If you want to do this too, BE CAREFUL when you take it out for it might break.
