Ornament And Handprint Clay

Method

1. I

   Combine ingredients and knead dough for 15 to 20 minutes.

2. II

   Roll dough out and cut around hand or cut circles out for making hand imprints. Use cookie cutters for ornaments or gift tags. If necessary, slightly dampen pieces to make them stick together.

3. III

   Make a small hole for the hanger and prick to prevent air bubbles.

4. IV

   Bake at 300°F about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. You may have to bake considerably longer depending on how thick your items are. They may not feel hard right away but will harden as they cool.

5. V

   Paint and decorate as desired. Acrylic paints work best and use a varnish to make them shiny.
