Handmade Ornaments - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. baking soda
1 c. cornstarch
1 1/4 c. cold water

Preparation

Mix the cornstarch and baking soda in a saucepan and add the water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is the consistency of wet mashed potatoes.
Turn it out onto a plate, cover it with a damp cloth; let cool.
When cool, knead it until it's smooth.
Seal it in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator.
Shape ornaments by hand or flatten the dough and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
Insert a wire hanger into soft dough, then let the ornaments dry overnight or heat them in a 250\u00b0 oven for 15 minutes.
