Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of cornstarch
- 1/2 cup of clear glue
- Water (as needed)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Floral molds or heart shapes
Instructions
- Prepare your mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of clear glue. Pour in a small amount of water to help blend the two ingredients.
- Mix until smooth: Use your hands or a spatula to combine the materials thoroughly. The mixture should be soft and pliable, resembling dough.
- Add color: If you desire, knead in a few drops of food coloring until you reach the desired shade.
- Mold your shapes: Take a portion of the mixture and press it into your floral or heart-shaped molds, ensuring you pack it tightly.
- Let it dry: Once your shapes are molded, place them on a flat surface to dry. It may take 24 to 48 hours for them to harden fully.
- Finishing touches: After the pieces are dry, gently remove them from the molds and refine the edges with fine sandpaper.
Notes
