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

Mix soda and cornstarch together, blending well. Add the water, mix well until smooth. Boil for 1 minute until it has consistency of moist mashed potatoes; stir constantly. Spoon out on a plate; cover with damp cloth and allow to cool.

Knead dough and roll out on waxed paper, cut designs with cookie cutters. Let this dry until hard, 1-2 days. Paint with Tempra or water colors. Dry well and coat with clear shellac or clear nail polish. The hangers may be mounted on back with glue or pressed into dough before it dries.
