Instructions: Mix salt and flour. Slowly add water, mixing as you add it. Towards the
end, you will have to put dough on a work counter or on a lightly oiled surface and knead well until the dough is smooth. This dough can be used to
make long-lasting ornaments and decorations. Bake at 325 degrees F for about
90 minutes until dry. After they have completely cooled, you can paint them
with acrylic paints and tie ribbons around them. If you want to hang them up, make sure that you make holes to hang them before baking.

For a smooth, white porcelain-like dough, mix 1 cup cornstarch and 2 cups baking soda in a saucepan. Add 1-1/3 cups of cold water and stir until
smooth. Heat slowly, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Turn the mixture out on a plate, cover and let cook. Knead until smooth. Dust bread board with cornstarch and roll out dough. Add more cornstarch to prevent sticking. Cut out ornaments (remember to make holes for hanging!) and place on wire racks to air dry for a few days. After drying, you can paint the ornaments and hang on your tree or use as package
tie-ons.

You can use cookie cutters for making the decorations. Use the bigger cutters that dont have small areas for the dough to stick in and cant get
it out.

You can use this dough for making decorations for any holiday as well as birthdays.
