Step 1
Collect 2 cups of lint from your dryer. Pack down the lint while measuring the cups so that you may have enough lint with which to work. Put aside 1/3 cup warm water, 6 tbs. white glue, 1 tbs. fragrance-free, clear dishwashing liquid and a food coloring color of your choice.
-
Step 2
Grab a medium size mixing bowl. Place the lint in the bowl. Add the water, white glue, dishwashing liquid and a few drops of food coloring to the mix.
-
Step 3
Mix the all the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon. Long-handled spoons may help you control the mixing motions.
-
Step 4
Lay a few sheets of newspaper down on a counter. Take the mixture out of the bowl and put it on the newspaper.
-
Step 5
Kneed the mixture until you achieve your desired texture of clay. Ideally, the clay's texture should be uniform throughout the clay, without any bumps or clumps of ingredients.

Step 6
Use the clay to mold shapes, figures or sculptures. Let the sculpture dry completely for 3 to 7 days before moving it.
