2 cups salt
2/3 cups water
Saucepan
1 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup cold water

Stir salt and water in a saucepan over heat 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat; add cornstarch and cold water.
Stir until smooth; return to heat and cook until thick.
Allow the clay to cool, then shape as desired.
When dry, decorate with paint, markers, glitter, and so on.
If you like, finish with clear acrylic spray or clear nail polish.
Store unused clay in a Ziploc bag.
Or
1. Find a large bowl and add the salt and flour. You will need 4 cups (560 grams) of flour and 1 ½ cups (420 grams) of salt. If you wish to add some glitter, you can do so now. You can use fine, scrapbooking glitter or chunky, craft glitter, but the fine glitter will be easier to mix. You can add as much or as little glitter as you like.
2 Consider making some colored clay. Before you add the water to the flour and salt, you will need to decide whether or not you want your clay to be colored. If you want some colored clay, add a few drops of food coloring to the water and stir it with a spoon to mix it all together.
3 Pour the water into the salt and flour, and mix. You will need 1 cup (225 milliliters) of water. Stir the mixture until everything is just combined into a dough-like texture.
4 Add some cooking oil. The cooking oil will help make the clay soft and prevent it from becoming crumbly.[11] You will need 2 to 4 tablespoons, depending on how dry and crumbly your clay is.
5 Knead the dough. Using your hands, press, squish, and knead the mixture until it turns into a dough. If it is still too dry, add a little bit more cooking oil.
6 Play with the clay. You can use this clay to make fun shapes again and again.
7 Store the dough properly. If you want to play with this clay later, put it inside an air-tight container. You can also sculpt a figurine and let the clay dry completely overnight.
