in making clay beads can i make use of the "playdooh' and bake it too?

Answer 1

this recipe works pretty good. Try layering different colored "doughs" on top of each other to get different effects when you cut them. An oiled skewer for making shishcabobs works great to poke a hole through.



HOME-MADE SALT CLAY

You will need:

1 cup flour
3/4 cup salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cooking oil
Food coloring
What to do:

Place the flour, salt and oil in a mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon.

Combine water and food coloring then gradually add the colored water to the flour mixture.

When you have created things with the clay, you can bake them to harden the clay. Put the oven on low heat (300ºF/150ºC) and bake for 1-2 hours.

Answer 2

You can make beads from just about any type of air-dry clay or polymer clay, but the quality and characteristics of the finished clays will differ a lot.

"PlayDoh" for example will often crack while it's drying, and most air-dry clays will shrink as well. Most air-dry clays will work better if they're left to dry naturally (and slowly) rather than speeding up the drying in the oven.
Most air-dry clays are also not water resistant unless they're well sealed.

Polymer clay is the only type of "clay" that's really made to be baked in a home oven ...polymer clays "cure" in heat, they never "dry" (earth clays require heat for curing too, but a LOT more heat--in a kiln).
Several brands of polymer clay are Sculpey, Fimo, Premo, Cernit and Kato, in the U.S. anyway.

Polymer clay is used, in fact, a lot to make all kinds of beads (as well as other things), and the beads can be made any size, shape, color, pattern, etc., that's desired... they can also be made to simulate all kinds of natural materials like ivory, jade, wood, metal, leather, stone, pearl, etc., etc.

Answer 3

The Trade-Mark stuff will crumble eventually, making it unsuitable for beads.

Some of the home-made similar products can be baked and coated and will last a long time as beads.
