- 2 cups of plain flour,
- 1 cup of salt,
- ¾ cup of water,
- 1 teaspoon of cooking oil (optional)
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Tea-cup

- String
Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl.
Add the water (and the oil if you are using oil)
Mix the ingredients together to make dough.
Knead the dough and roll out onto a flat surface (sprinkle a little flour on the surface not for the dough to stick).
Create the shapes you want using a template or cutters, don’t forget to make a hole in them if you want to hang them up.
Bake in the oven for up to 1 hour at 180/200 degrees
Let them cool and they will be ready to paint.
