Mix together:

• 2 1/2 cups flour 1 cup salt
• 1 cup water Food coloring, optional

Store in refrigerator.

Mix and cook over low heat until mixture thickens:

• 1 cup salt 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water Food coloring, optional

Cool before using

Combine over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture becomes

stiff and comes away from sides of pot:

• 1 cup salt 4 tablespoons oil
• 2 cups flour 4 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 cups water Food coloring

Store in a closed container or plastic bag.

Mix:

• 1 cup cornstarch 2 cups bicarbonate of soda
• 1 1/2 cups cold water Food coloring

Heat over medium fire, stirring constantly until mixture is doughlike. Cool, covered with a damp cloth. Coat finished products with a shellac to seal and preserve.

(can be used to make beads for necklaces)

Mix 2 cups salt and 2/3 cup water in a pan. Stirring constantly, heat over a low flame for about 4 minutes (Do not

boil). Remove from heat. Quickly mix 1 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold water together and add this combination in one go to heated mixture. Stir and mix quickly. If resulting mixture is not a thick paste, place back on low heat and stir for about a minute until mixture is doughlike. Treat like bread dough - knead on flat surface until dough is a smooth and pliable mass. Can be stored in plastic or foil and kept in an airtight container.

Color can be added when dough is being cooked or when being kneaded, or modeled objects can be painted when dry.

It takes 2 days for a modeled object to dry at room temperature. For quicker results, preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and then turn the oven off. Place the model in the oven, preferably on a wire rack, and leave inside until the oven has cooled off.

For a finishing touch, smooth dry models by rubbing gently with sandpaper or an emery board.

To make beads for a necklace, punch holes with a toothpick while the clay is still pliable. You can also string the beads through a thin wire, letting them dry on the wire itself. Clay can also be rolled out like cookie dough and cut with a cookie cutter.
