This dough dries very quickly while working with it pinch off only what you need and store the rest in a bag until you need more. To help pieces stick together (if you're making a snowman for instance and wanted three balls put together) make a paste of flour and water and use it like glue when putting the pieces together. Once the project is finished, fire in the oven at 175 degrees. You'll have to check each piece periodically as the thicker the piece the longer the dry time. If you desire you may paint your piece. It's usually a good idea to seal it with varnish.
A good tip for making hair is to push a small amount of dough through a garlic press. |
