How To Make Salt Dough

Simply follow the method below,adjusting the quantities to make the amount 

of salt dough you need. The quantities given below are sufficient to make a 

bowl of salt dough.The addition of 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the recipe adds 

suppleness, while 1 tbsp wallpaper paste gives the dough elasticity.

you will need:

2 cups plain flour

1 cup salt

1 cup water

1- mix the flour,salt and half the water in a bowl.

2- knead the mixture,gradually adding more water until the dough has a smooth, firm consistency.  be careful not to add too much water or the dough will sag and become sticky.

3- remove the dough from the bowl and continue to knead for 10 minutes.  the dough can be modelled immediately,but is best left to rest for 30 minutes in an airtight container.

this is the dough I made

I did not add oil or wallpaper paste

here is what I made with it

The cube was my first try then I

made the caterpillar on the leaf , then the music note and then the roses

 you have to bake your creations in an oven at 120 degree c / 250 degree f

until they are completely hardened.

but I got an idea an heated them in the micro for 1 minute and they were completely hardened.

remember to keep the dough in an airtight container
