Salt Dough

"This recipe is much like Play-Doh(R), but can be baked to a permanent finish."

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup salt 
  • 1 cup cold water

Directions

  1. Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Slowly mix water, a few tablespoons at a time, into flour mixture until dough is smooth and easy to handle. Knead dough for 10 minutes and let rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  3. Form dough into desired shapes and arrange on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until dry and hard, about 2 hours. Allow to cool completely.

Homemade Air-Dry Modelling Clay {aka baking soda clay}

  • 2 cups of baking soda
  • 1 cup of cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 cups of water

Place all ingredients into a pot over medium heat.  Stir the mixture almost constantly, until it thickens and becomes the consistency of whipped mashed potatoes.  Let cool and then knead until smooth and no longer sticky.  Done!  Now create!
