1 c. flour
1 c. salt
Water

Mix flour and salt; add a little cool water and mix with hands. If too dry, add a little more water. Mix until you have a ball of clay; firm, not sticky. If too sticky, add more flour.

Shape, then let dry for 24 hours in a warm, dry place. You can paint after 24 hours or after dry. If you don't want to shape right away, put it in a plastic bag.
