Ingredients:
Basic Recipe :
2 c. flour
1 c. salt
1 c. cold water
Direction:
Combine ingredients and knead to
a medium-stiff, smooth dough. To add color, work drops of food
coloring until the desired shade is achieved. Store any unused
dough in plastic bags in the refrigerator for the next
projects. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick and use cookie
cutters for designs. Bake designs in warm oven (350) for 1-2
hours or until hard to the touch. Melt paraffin, in bowl
placed in a pan of boiling water. Using slotted spatula or
spoon, dip each design into the melted paraffin. Transfer to
wire rack or newspaper.
Ideas :
Dough pressed through a garlic press makes grass, noodles.
Rolling strings of various colored dough together, then
following flat gives a multi-colored marbled effect. Wrapping
a firm ball of aluminum foil with dough gives a firm base for
a ball, pumpkin, jack-o-lantern. Acrylic paints can be used
for decorating. 10 inch bamboo skewers are great for plant
ornaments.
