Baking Soda and Cornstarch Clay

Baking Soda Crafts

Start by adding baking soda, corn starch, and water to a pot. Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, over medium heat until it thickens to a mashed potato consistency and starts to come together.

Dump out your craft dough onto parchment paper and cover with a damp cloth to keep it from drying out as you wait for it to be cool enough to handle. Keep a damp cloth on the unused dough while sculpting.

To make the starfish, take the 5 balls and use your thumb and pointer finger to shape and flatten into triangles. Next, take the triangles and combine them together. Make sure to pinch the edges on both the front and back into the shape of a starfish.

Continue sculpting the dough into your favorite sea creatures.  It’s important to smooth out the edges where the pieces connect or cracks will form and the seams will show.
