Sawdust Modeling “Clay”
2 cups fine sawdust, dried
2 Tablespoons liquid starch
1 cup flour or wheat paste
1 Tablespoon glue (if flour is used)

compound have a wood grain appearance. To
speed drying, bake in a 200◦ oven for 1-2
hours depending on the size of the article.
Items can be sanded for a smooth finish. Will
dry hard and can be painted or varnished.

coloring, and then dried on newspaper before
mixing.
