*this is not to eat
** This is a nice clay to work with or make decorations with.

Combine 2 cups baking soda and 1 cup cornstarch.  Stir in 1 1/4 cups cold water.  Boil over medium heat,  stirring constantly.  Cook a minute longer until it looks like moist mashed potatoes.  Transfer to a plate immediately.  Cover with damp cloth.  Knead when cool enough.  Keep in plastic bag . Roll clay 1/2-1/4 in on wax paper.  Cut, glitter, string, etc.  Paint using water colors or felt pens.   Shellac or nail polish can be used.
