You can stain the clay by boiling onion skins in water and when its cool you can brush it on like paint. You can also stain the clay with a damp used teabag. It gives a rich brown stain similar to coffee. You can also stain clay using beetroot juice. Also blackcurrant juice is very good for making a rich purple colour. I hope that helps you.
Fantastic suggestions, Carly! I used onion skins to color eggs for Easter but didn't try on clay. Now I will! Beetroot juice should be an excellent magenta tint. Unfortunately, blackcurrant doesn't grow where I live. Thank you for sharing your ideas! Please share if you have more!
@@CeramicsOasis have you got a shop that sells frozen fruit because blackberries and other berries that are frozen can be used if you don't add water to the mixture, then use it like paint on clay. We did it in school when I was a child. Lots of fruit has strong colours in them. I saw a dark pink dragon fruit on the internet recently and I am seriously thinking of trying that...all i have to do it get the pink dragone fruit lol. Oh, and another thought came to mind...turmeric is fantastic for giving a strong yellow colour to clay. I gave it a go using very little water and it looked great but my advice is to apply it with a sponge or it streakes. The last one I thought of for a redish stain is blood oranges. When you condense the juice in a pot over a low heat, it becomes sticky and it concentrates the colour quite a bit. Red cabbage gives a decent purple colour but again condensing the liquid you cook it in is imperative. Anyway, happy crafting. God bless you! Have fun!
@@carlycharlesworth1497 Great ideas! Thank you for sharing! You are very creative! You Inspired me, I'm going to get some turmeric and use it in one of the next projects!
Thank you so much! 😀 In the future videos I will continue to show how to apply these textures and coloring techniques to actual projects. If you run into any questions trying them out I'll be happy to answer.
You can use sealer, varnish, or acrylic medium to make project waterproof. Keep in mind that even after that air dry clay will not be as strong as fired clay

I wish I knew this before I started my project
Thanks so much! I do have a question regarding how to seal it?
You can use sealer, varnish, or acrylic medium
Yacht varnish is excellent for clay and epoxy resin also. Plus you can use gesso as a cheaper alternative. Hope that helps you.
@@carlycharlesworth1497 Mod Podge works well too.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
So air dry clay can reactive if you put in the water when it's already dry?
Depends on brand, majority can be. Put clay in a water and wrap in wet towel after
I have a love-hate relationship with clay 😋😁😋
Try different brands and types of clay and it will become only love relationship
I usually rub some lotion on my hands before dealing with this clay, works to keep off any cake.
I realized it's better to start with a thin layer of airdry clay in making sculptures
You bet!
I have added veg oil and linseed to my air drying in small amounts
You're super creative and this is an amazing footage
New friend here👈
I joined you already
Please stay connected
Thank you and welcome! I'm going to check out yummy dishes you are making!
I was worried about how much i could do to it after it dried....
i left my clay mushrooms to dry for two days and it broke like a cookie. Is this normal?
To prevent cracking and breaking cover project with plastic and dry slowly
Tante tante idee.
l wouldn't know how to use all these colors 😁😁😁
Sometimes I mixed airdry clay and more water to turn it into a paste
I do too if I need slip
I thought when its dry it will harden like forever.
Almost 😀. Not like fired regular clay though.
I use air dry clay a lot.
