Thank you for your response! And yes this does help a lot… And no i’m not planning on eating the paper mache clay, just wanted to double check with you.. It is always good to be safe about it on your own!

Thank you again

A few of the products used to make the clay are not edible, and you should definitely read the label. Then make up your own mind about how safe they are. I do assume you don’t intend to eat the stuff, so it should be fine.

The ingredient that many people are concerned about is the boiled linseed oil, because it contains chemical drying agents. However, you can easily use glycerin instead, which is perfectly safe. If you’re worried about chemicals, that’s definitely what I’d advise. And don’t sand the clay without a mask – that’s common practice whenever you create a fine dust in the air, to keep it out of your lungs.

The frog looks really good! I’ve been working on a giraffe for quite a while now using newspaper and elmers glue as paste. I just read your Paper mache clay recepe and just had a quick question about it..

Is the paper Mache clay safe to use? Does it have any chemicals that can harm you?

I’m just asking because I really want to try paper Mache clay, it looks perfect for what i’m trying to do.

Thank You.
