Kids love painting them. They can give them as gift or keep themselves. They last for years.
Need: 2 cups of baking soda, 1 cup of Argo cornstarch, 1 1/2 cups water, saucepan.
Instructions: Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the mixture looks like mashed potatoes. If the mixture cooks too long, the finished ornaments may crack. Cover with a damp cloth until cool enough to handle. Then form clay into shapes (example snowmen, etc.) I also roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut out ornaments. I place them on a cookie sheet for a couple of days. When they are dry, I package them.

Hi,
I looked around and found the original source for the recipe and amended the recipe that Jean sent in. Thanks for noticing. There is also a .pdf file that there is a link to that you can download with more instructions for making ornaments.
About the holes, make the holes for hanging before drying the ornaments.

What kind of paint do you use. Also do you make a hole in the ornament for hanging? If so, how? Should the recipe read Let Cook or Let Cool? Thanks
