Description
A sustainable and fun way to repurpose used coffee grounds into malleable clay for crafting unique items.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup used coffee grounds (dried)
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon white glue (optional for added strength)
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Airtight container for storage
Instructions
- Prepare your coffee grounds: Ensure they are dry by spreading them on a baking sheet for a few hours or baking at a low temperature.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine dried coffee grounds, flour, and salt, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Add wet ingredients: Gradually mix in water while stirring. If using glue, add it now for extra stability.
- Knead the dough: Remove the mixture from the bowl and knead until smooth, about 5-10 minutes.
- Sculpt your creations: Shape the dough into desired forms and add details as needed.
- Dry your creations: Place pieces on a flat surface to air dry for 24-48 hours.
Notes
Consider adding paints for color or spices for enhanced texture. Store unused clay in an airtight container, lasting up to two weeks.
