Baking Soda Ornament

There is a recipe every year on the Arm & Hammer baking soda box for ornaments made from water, cornstarch and baking soda. The dough is cut out, left to dry and then decorated with paints or markers.

2 cups baking soda (1 one pound package)
1 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 cups water

Stir in saucepan constantly over medium heat. When it is the consistency of mashed potatoes (approx. 10-15 minutes), turn out and cover with damp cloth. Once it cools, pat it smooth. It’s ready to use. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick to cut. Dry overnight. Decorate with paints, glitter, markers, etc.
