Main Ingredients:

2 c. baking soda
1 c. cornstarch
1 1/4 c. cold water

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Mix soda and cornstarch together, blending well. Add cold water and mix well, until mixture is smooth. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until it has the consistency of moist mashed potatoes. Spoon out on a plate. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to cool. Knead dough and roll out on waxed paper. Cut out designs with cookie cutters, or shape by hand. Let dry until hard, 1 to 2 days. Paint with tempura or water colors. Dry well and coat with clear shellac or clear nail polish. Hangers may be mounted on back with glue, or pressed into dough before it dries.
