I noticed many individuals make clay with newspaper and I attempt to keep away from it as a result of I’m a little bit bit scared with the ink used for printing the newspaper. I’d usually use rest room paper including to my home made clay to make paper clay.
However, my PVA glue for home made clay left few cm from the underside of the bottle now. I’ve to reserve it since it isn’t simple to purchase new glue in Melbourne, Australia with 6 weeks lock down – stage 4 with curfew from 8.00 pm to five.00 am. Similar factor with my tissue paper, I’ve to reserve it for extra necessary factor :).

Once more, I select newspaper as a result of a few of my YouTube channel guests preserve asking me if they will add newspaper to my finest home made clay recipe. I’m not certain as a result of after I make that home made clay, it isn’t meant for paper clay. Afterward, I’ve added tissue paper to my finest home made clay recipe however not newspaper pulps.
So, I made a decision to make paper clay with newspaper with easy elements that the majority of us might have already got it at residence..
And, it’s with out PVA glue.
Supplies and Steps to Make Paper Clay:
There are solely 5 elements on this tremendous easy paper clay recipe:
- Paper pulp
- Plain flour

The fantastic thing about this recipe is, you determine the quantity of the paper pulp, water and flour. That is why I did not put within the precise measurements right here.
Typically, you may make the clay seems to be like whipped cream or peanut butter consistency the place you’ll be able to unfold the clay paste with palette knife/ spatula. You’ll be able to see I did that for boot fairy home venture.

STEP 2: As soon as the newspaper turns into paper pulp, scoop the pulp along with a few of the water for about 1 small cup or 1 spoon (1 half). I did not squeeze out the water from the pulp as a result of I would like it to combine with flour.
