Faux Stone Dough: Recipe

Crafty Idea - TipnutMaterials:

1 cup flour
1 cup used coffee grinds
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup cold leftover coffee

  • Blend all ingredients in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  • Once mixed well, place the dough on a floured surface and knead until smooth.
  • You can store the dough in an airtight container or plastic bag 5 to 6 days.

Once the dough dries, it will have a natural look with a brown color and coffee grind speckles. Faux stone!

    I use the faux stone dough when I teach my kindergarteners about dinosaurs. It works great as a fossil example.

    What do you use it for and how do you use it? Is it baked or air-dried? I have often used a baked, home-made “playdough” to make ornaments and would like to give this a try for them. Thanks!

  4. TipNut says:

    Hi Barbara, this is used for any kind of crafty project you like (including ornaments) and it is air dried.

    Could I make fake ginger bread men with this recipe? Can I save them to use again next year?
    Thanks. JBK

  6. TipNut says:

    Yes you can jon b but you will need to adjust the coloring to what you want. Good idea btw!
