Use My Clay Recipe To Make This Cow Magnetic and Other Projects

What could be more practical than a magnetic that tells you if your dishes are clean or dirty? Make one for your kitchen and for your friends. They'll appreciate the thoughtfulness!

Use any cutter shape and style you want using my my clay bread dough recipe below. The project is completely air-dried unless you wish to use a clay such as Fimo that needs to be baked in the oven.

For the cow above, I did the following:

I used patches of black clay and one small heart cut-out for the patches on the cow which is also a cut-out from a cookie cutter. I cut out another heart, about 1" wide for the "Clean" message. I made a clay "C" and fused it to the heart for clean and left the backside blank for dirty. You can used dried flowers for the neck, or make bread clay roses as I did.

Insert a ring into the bottom center of the cow, another jewelry ring into the top center of the heart cut-out and one into the bottom neck area where the bell will be joined.

When the project was hard, I used burnt umber acrylic paint and my flat sable brush to brush over the total cow with a thin coat of paint for an antique look. I used more color around the edges.

I used black paint to paint the eyes and nose. I also painted the heart on one side that says "Clean" and the other side "Dirty."

Glue a magnet to the backside of the cow, join the cow to the heart with a thin chain, connect the bell and you're done! Jewelry rings are used to connect all parts and pieces.

BREAD CLAY OR CLAY DOUGH RECIPE:

This dough can be used for beads, flowers and tiny objects such as accessories, flat cut-outs and more. All projects made with this clay must be air-dried only.

You will need:

4 Tbsp. Aleen's Tacky White Glue (in the silver Bottle)

4 Slices of white bread

1 Tsp. lemon juice

1. Tsp. cold cream such as Ponds or Jergens

1. Tbsp. corn starch

BREAD CLAY MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove the crusts from each piece of bread and tear the bread into tiny pieces. Place the crumbs into a plastic bowl for easy mixing.

Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well with a large spoon into a ball. Use your hand to knead the ball for about 5 or 10 minutes or until smooth.

Use a little more lemon juice if the dough is too dry. If it's too sticky, powder your hands with a little body powder. If that doesn't help, add an extra piece of bread to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.

Your dough ball should be very smooth to achieve a beautiful finish for all of your projects, especially for flowers. Air-dry only. Make sure that children or pets do not eat the dough.
