Mix the salt and water together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
In a seperate bowl, mix the cornstarch and remaining cold water.
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the boiling water solutions and stir until thick.
Roll out the clay dough on a lightly cornstarched board. Mold clay into desired sizes and shapes and then dry and decorate. If you want to hang the decorations, use a straw to cut a hole for the string to go through.

Most of you know that I love a good bright and bold layout. One of my favorite paper lines for this recently has been Basic Grey’s Lime Rickey collection. I just had to buy it even though it seemed a little young for my kids. BUT…. when I finally sat down and opened it I was inspired by the bright colors to make a Back to School layout of Paige.
I used a great sketch that was posted at Let’s Capture These Memories sketch blog. Here is the layout I created:
