>>>>  The recipe uses the following:

>>>>  * 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,

>>>> for a basket, roll out to 1/2" and cut into 1" strips.  Spray an
>> oven
>>>> proof bowl with Pam (or whatever spray) and then weave the
>> strips
>>>>>do the basket.  For a decorative edge, Twist two 1/2" strips
>>>> together and apply around the rim.  Make sure you do it so the
>> mold can
>>>> be removed! Dab a bit of beaten egg white or even water anyplace
>> the
>>>> dough touchs itself.  This will act as glue.  You can also use
>> white
>>>> school glue for that matter.  Bake at 300 for 1/2 to 1 hour.  If

>>>>  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

>>>>  I've made litterally thousands of these.  You can use the dough
>> to make
>>>> 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
>> or you
>>>> can seal your finished piece with matt finish varnish or a
>> waterstwhite
>>>> glue mixture and then paint it with craft paints.
>>>>  TIP: If you make ornaments, make the hanging hole before baking
>> and
>>>> make it a bit larger than you think you'll need.
>>>>  Good Luck!
