Welcome back to Kailas Craft Corner with Future In Sight! In today's episode, Kaila   Allen tells us the basics of air dry clay. We learn how to make a pinch pot and she touches on how to make a coil pot. Supply List: Crayola Air Dry Clay Waxed Paper or silicone mat Plastic fork or knife Small bowl of water Salt Dough Recipe: 2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup salt 1 cup warm water Optional ingredients: Food coloring  Scented oils Mix together the dry ingredients (flour and salt).  Add warm water a little bit at a time, being careful to not add too much and make the dough too sticky.  The dough should be moist enough to hold together into a ball, but not so sticky that it leaves residue on your hands.   To dry out your clay, place the pieces on a baking sheet and turn over every few hours until the clay is fully dry. Optional: add color with scented markers or watercolor. Or, set your oven to 200 degrees F and bake for 2 - 4 hours, turning the pieces each hour until dry.

Step 3:  Take the string from row 1  and string it backwards through the second row of beads. You should have a string coming from both sides of this row now.  So your first row of beads will have one string through it, but your second will have 2 strings through it. Then pull tight Step 4: String the 3rd row of beads onto the string that is on the same side as the key chain. Take the other string and thread it back through the opposite way of the last row and pull tight. For the rest of the flag simply follow this step for each of the following rows, being sure to put the beads on the string that is on the same side as the key chain. Step  5: To finish your flag you may tie the string next to the last bead on each end and cut your string.  If you do this be sure the knot is large enough to hat the beads can not slide off of it.  I like to take the ends of the string and bring them over the first bead and then back threw 3 or 4 beads then cutting the string, this can be done on both sides. Here is the bead pattern for the flag: R = Red B = Blue W = White. 1. W B W B W R W R W R W 2. B W B W B R W R W R W 3. W B W B W R W R W R W 4. B W B W B R W R W R W 5. W B W B W R W R W R W 6.

Diagonal Fold:  A Fold that involves folding one corner to the opposite corner, creating a diagonal crease. Valley Fold:  A crease made by folding paper towards you forming a “V” when you unfold. Mountain Fold:  A mountain fold is the opposite of a valley fold – the paper folds to the opposite underneath side making a ridge. Book Fold:  It is made by bringing one edge of a square or rectangle to the opposite edge, folding the sheet in half. Raw Edge:  The edge of a single layer, one of the original outside edges of the square that hasn't been folded. Model: The finished product of your efforts. Making a Square: Many origami models require that you start off with paper that is a true square, where all four sides are equal. If you don't have origami paper on hand, or you would just like to practice using copy paper or old magazine pages, which are normally cut into a rectangular shape, it is helpful to know how to turn these into true squares. Step 1: Folding Lay your rectangular piece of paper down on a hard, flat surface with the long sides to the left and right and the short sides at the top and bottom. Fold the top right corner of the paper down and to the left until you can feel that the two layers of paper lay on top of each other on the left hand side. Follow the two layers of paper upwards to make sure they line up as closely as possible until you find the narrow, top point of the paper. While holding the two layers in this position, make a sharp crease, running your finger from the top left corner down and to the right. Now, on the right hand side, your paper will slope up sharply from bottom right to the top left corner. Notice that at the bottom of your folded paper, there is a rectangular piece, which has not been folded. It is this part of the paper that you will remove to create a true square. Step 2: Weakening the paper Concentrating on the single rectangular layer of paper at the bottom, fold your paper upwards so it covers the bottom part of your folded triangle. Crease well from left to right to create a horizontal fold and, lifting your paper from the folding surface, fold back the other way. Do this a few more times to weaken the paper in both directions. You can also run your nail along the crease or use a damp finger to weaken your paper even further. Step 3: Removing the extra paper There are many ways you can use to remove the bottom part of your sheet, including taring, cutting with scissors, rotary cutters or craft knives, etc. Feel free to use whatever method you find easiest, or ask for sighted assistance until you ar
