Author: Baker Street Living

Materials

  • 1 cup Salt
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 3/4 cup Warm Water + 2 tbsp (may need more if too dry))
  • Food Colouring - Optional

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl add all of the ingredients (except food colouring)
  • Mix with a spoon and then work with hands (kneading) when it is too thick to stir.
  • Once it is dough consistency, roll it on a silicone mat or shape it into art pieces.
  • To store, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, taking care to remove all air.

To add colour

  • When the mixture has reached dough consistency, add a few drops of colour and work it in by hand.
