You Will Need (4 things)

  • 2 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Salt
  • 1 cup Water
  • Food Coloring optional

Steps (4 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    STEP 1

    1. First get a BIG bowl!

    2. Measure out flour and salt.

    3. Add water, but only about a 1/4 of a cup at a time till desired consistency. Kneading constantly...this could take up to 10min.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    so you should have dough that looks like this. also you have the option to add food coloring.

  3. 3

    STEP 3

    Set your oven for 200 degrees. leave them in for 2-4 hours. if they start to brown make sure to cover w/foil or take them out!

    OR

    if you don't want to use your oven you can leave out your creations to air dry. depending on the size, this could take 2 hours to 2-3 days.

  4. 4

    STEP 4

    So once your let your creations cool and they are completely dry, they are hard as a rock! you can paint them, i used acrylics, watercolors, and if you want a gloss finish, just apply a coat of Mod-podge!
