Paper Clay can be made using any kind of paper. For this project I chose newspaper, toilet roll cardboard, paper towel, napkin, and dryer lint. First soak paper with water. Each paper has a different absorption rate, soak the paper and let it stand for a few minutes to see how much is absorbed. Do this in a large bowl or right in the food processor. Next add a paper mache paste. I used the cook method. Combining 1 c water, 2 tablespoons of flour and 1/4 tsp of salt (to aid in the prevention of mold). Sprinkle the flour over the water and use a whisk to remove lumps while it is heating up. As it heats up it will begin to thicken. Just before boil remove from heat and allow to cool a bit before add to the paper mix. When it has cooled add it to the paper mix, lock the lid to the processor and pulsate. In a few short moments you will see how the paper has blended and you now have clay. If you have added a bit more water than the paper absorbed just squeeze out the excess wate...
