>>>  The recipe uses the following:
>>>  Baker's Clay Ingredients:
>>>  * 3 1/2 cups flour
>>>  * 1 cup salt
>>>  * 1 1/4 -- 1 1/2 cup water
>>>  Mix the claystdough with your hands and shape into loaves,

>>>  When cool, you should varnish using polyurethane.  Shellac is

>>>  You can let bread go stale and varnish it, but it is very

>>> This dough is much more sturdy.  Wear gloves when mixing as the

>>> anything that can be made from clay, plaques, characters, napkin
>>> rings, baskets, faux food, ornaments, all kinds of things!
>>>  You can add food coloring to the dough to get different colors

>>> can seal your finished piece with matt finish varnish or a

>>> glue mixture and then paint it with craft paints.
>>>  TIP: If you make ornaments, make the hanging hole before baking
