Dryer Lint Clay



Materials Needed:

• 2 Cups Dryer Lint (Lightly Packed)
• 1/3 Cup White Glue
• 1 Tablespoon Dish Washing Soap
• 1/4 - 1/3 Cup Warm Water

Instructions:
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the white glue, dish washing soap, and a 1/4 cup of the water. Once it is mixed well, slowly add the 2 cups of dryer lint, tearing into small pieces before you add it.
Mix this all together, kneading if necessary. If the mixture is too dry, you can add more water, a little at a time, until your lint clay is easy to work with.
Store your clay covered to keep it moist or let it sit out to air dry for several days.


There are all sorts of recipes for it on Google.... some call for flour and essential oils
