Clay From an Egg Carton.

I love to reuse and repurpose. Here is an idea how to make clay from egg carton.

Egg carton, home made glue

Tear the egg carton to pieces and soak it in the water for 8 - 12 hours. Take the pieces from the water and squeeze them so most of the water goes out.

Blend the pieces in to mass. Prepare glue. You will need 4 tbs of rice or wheat flour. Mix it in 200 ml of cold water, add 200 ml of hot water and cook for 2-3 min on medium heat. Mix during cooking. Put in a glass dish, let it cool down.

Mix glue with the paper mass.

Mix it well with hands and you are ready to create! I continue to do a little figurine, but you can use this clay for any project including papier mache.
