When Your DIY Doesn't DO

 Not wanting to drive (it's a distance from where I live) to the craft store for more Air Dry Clay, I opted to try one of the DIYs I've seen on YouTube. I tried making a small batch. 

RECIPE
4 oz. School Glue
4 oz. or 1/4 c.  Cornstarch
1 TBS. vinegar or lemon juice
1 TBS. oil (of any type)

1. Mix the glue and cornstarch together until it is pancake batter consistency.

2. Add the vinegar  and oil. Mix.
Place the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds.  

3. Remove and mix the contents. (It was beginning to thicken)  

4. Return to microwave for 30 seconds. 

5. Remove product. Allow to cool for a few seconds .


6. Turn product onto a piece of plastic wrap and knead.

As you can see it was clumpy and nonpliable. πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ˜–πŸ˜–πŸ˜–πŸ˜£πŸ˜£πŸ˜£Reminded me of chunks of cauliflower. 

This is its final resting place.

I may be  "DONE IN" but I'm not "DEFEATED."

I will find my mistake and try again .  Can you say "REMATCH?"πŸ’ͺ 

That's it ***
