• Step 1

  Mix 1/2 c. salt, 1 c. flour, a touch of vegetable oil, and just enough water to make a dough. (The vegetable oil is optional and I use it to help make the dough smooth and workable.) Knead well.

• 

  Step 2

  Form into desired shape (a mermaid in this case). Place on a sheet pain. (I prefer to line with aluminum foil.)

• Step 3

  Dry out in a 200 degree oven, SLOWLY. This took a couple hours. When I knew the top was dried through and no longer a concern to smash my work, i flipped her over to help dry out the back.

• 

  Step 4

  Paint. (The salt dough absorbed the paint and liquid quickly, so be careful of the drying pain "pulling" when added more paint to layers not completely dry.)

• 

  Step 5

  Let dry completely.
