Mix ingredients well in a large bowl.

If the dough is too dry, work in another tablespoon of water with your hands. The dough can be rolled or molded and can be colored with a few drops of food coloring.

To roll:

1. Roll dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured board.
2. Cut with cookie cutters dipped in flour.
3. Insert wire or make a hole in the top of each ornament about 1/4 inch down for hanging.

To mold:

1. Preheat oven to 250°.
2. Shape the dough no more than 1/2 inch thick.
3. Bake ornaments on ungreased cookie sheet for 30 minutes.
4. Turn and bake another 1 1/2 hours until hard and dry.
5. Remove and cool.
6. When done, paint and seal with spray varnish. You can lightly sand before painting to make the paint adhere better.
