You can be the proud creator of beads, paperweights, candle- holders, boxes -- whatever. To make modelling dough you need: @ 2 cups of starch @ 2 cups of salt @ 1'% cups of water @ a pot @ a wooden spoon Directions: Mix the starch, salt and water in a pot and stir over low heat with a wooden spoon until a ball of goop forms. Let the dough cool and put in a plastic bag to keep it soft. Take out only as much as you need at a time. If you want to color your dough, add food coloring and slowly knead it in with your hands. If you want to make several colors don't forget to wash your hands between each batch, or else your dough will turn into a muddy shade of brown. If you don't have any food coloring, you can always paint whatever you've made after it's dry. Your object will take about a day to dry -- or overnight -- so making modelling dough might be a good project for after dinner one night. Some ideas for things to make: 1. Beads -- roll dough into little balls and make holes with wet toothpicks, string together with needle and thread. 2. Paperweights -- make a ball of dough, scoop out underneath with a spoon, (this helps it dry) and then dip a decorative object such as a marble or a shell into water and press it very hard into the ball. 3. Candleholders or pencil holders -- make a ball of dough, scoop out the bottom with a spoon, and punch holes in the top with candles or pencils.
