Today I decided to try and bake hearty clay. Why? because I wanted to see what would happen. So lets see the results.

I turned my oven to 275 degrees. Once it was ready I took a chunk rolled it into a log and put it on the bottom rack. I checked it at 5 minutes and it was starting to puff up a bit than I believe I left in the oven for a total of 10 to 15 minutes and this is what it looked like.

hmmm not very pretty.

Then I remembered reading somewhere to add some baking soda so I took another chunk and this time rolled it into a ball with the baking soda mixed in. When I was rolling it into a ball it had a few cracks but I didnt try to smooth it out because I was making a bread bun. So I figured the cracks might develop into a nice texture.

I know for DIY hobbyist and crafters with small projects the worst thing is wasted caulk. So wether you are doing home repair or making decoden and clay miniatures like me we all want to be able to not waste caulk.

Here are some neat tools I’ve found to help with this problem.

Twist N Seal Caulk Saver Plug

CAULK SAVERS

This tutorial will show you what you can use to make fake salt and fake sugar to use on your fake food decorations. I use them when Im doing decoden and my clay miniatures.

I bought some coarse white decorative sand.

*Click on the pictures to make them bigger

This sand works really well at simulating salt and sugar.

Now you can add fake salt on fake pretzels woo hooo. Also I found this decorative sand in the wedding section of the craft store. In the regular kids section there was sand but the white sand there was still like brownish gray. So just check the wedding section, it just seems like they bleached this sand to make it look so white.

and here is a comparison shot between this sand and the Glass Glitter that I used in my fake sugar tutorial.

and I also grinded up this sand to make it finer to make fake powdered sugar I’ll post a pic of that later though. Its cheaper to just grind it up yourself instead of buying a whole new bag of fine sand.

anywho I hope this post was helpful
