I make clay texture paste as a result of my retailer purchased wall filler (type of joint compound or Spackle paste) has completed.
I like crafting with that wall filler. The filler will dry onerous. However, it might probably’t change air dry clay in time period of flexibility to make a mannequin.
At the least, the wall filler helps to make my rest room paper roll tube and cardboard stiff as you possibly can see in a few of fairy home tasks I did at Clayitnow You Tube channel like under miniature seaside home – click on on the image to see my video.
However, I do not suppose I’m going to purchase one other tub of filler. I used to be pondering…ehm..perhaps I could make my very own paste. So, I go searching my craft packing containers and located plaster of Paris or we name it POP.
I combined plaster of Paris following the instruction on the packaging. It says 1 a part of water with 2 components of plaster. I did that and use it for my craft. It dries onerous however too quick. I haven’t got sufficient time to play with it..I meant to make texture for my miniature home wall or roof.
So….I did one other experiment. Impressed by my finest home made clay recipe with flour base, I add flour to my plaster and wow…it really works! I’ve home made clay texture paste for my craft.
I’m pleased with it and excited.
You’ll have seen my video revealed few weeks in the past in case you have subscribed to my You Tube Channel. However, in case you have not seen it but, I’ll share my recipe right here.
Do-it-yourself Clay Texture Paste Recipe:

These are all we want:
You might questioning when you can add PVA glue or not. The reply is YES. I do know that a few of you’re used to combine Plaster of Paris (POP) with glue. That is okay!
If you wish to add glue, scale back the water and change among the measurement with glue. Make it possible for your glue + water forming 2 components of composition.
I exploit half right here that means that you simply resolve by yourself measuring system. You should utilize spoon, cup, bowl, and so forth. Should you use spoon, it means you want 1 spoon of flour, 2 spoon of water and three spoon of plaster, and so forth.
Subsequent, the best way to make clay texture paste? Once more, it is extremely straightforward. Put 1 a part of flour in a bowl, combined with 2 components of water till you do not see the lumps anymore.
Then, slowly add 3 components of plaster. And, that is it! The paste is prepared for crafting.
Clay Texture Concepts and Approach
After making craft tasks with clay texture paste recipe as above, I proceed experimenting with it. For instance, I add extra POP to make thicker paste till I’ve paste with consistency like peanut butter. It really works! Have a look at my latest cash field (piggy financial institution) tree log fairy home challenge. I make tree bark texture with this paste. This clay paste works like paper mache clay.
Then, I took slightly little bit of that thicker paste and add extra POP (Plaster of Paris) till I can roll it like air dry clay. It really works too! OMG, it is wonderful! I believe I’ll begin utilizing it as my new type of home made air dry clay. Have a look at the window!

Did you make this clay texture paste?
If sure, what’s the outcome? What’s your expertise? I’ve obtained some feedback from you saying that this paste is sweet for flat floor however not for 3D type of shapes.
A few of you attempting to use this on the cardboard however unsuccessful as a result of the cardboard turn into moist and mushy, damaging your craft.
Effectively, I haven’t got that type of expertise. However, I’m listening to you and did extra expertise. Let me share my ideas:
- Make thicker paste by including extra flour & plaster to the essential recipe.
- Apply thick paste on the floor as an alternative of skinny paste. Skinny paste simply peel off/ crack.
- Cowl your cardboard with glue or glue and paper napkins earlier than making use of the paste. Once more, use thick paste.
All the most effective.
