@bricksandoak: Screen shot for later: baking soda ornaments 1 cup of cornstarch 2 cups baking soda 1.5 cups of water Put on medium low heat, stirring consistently. Dont walk away for too long, once it starts to form it doesn’t take long to get to a mash potato consistency- that’s when you’re done! Take off heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Make sure to wait the full cool period or the paper might rip. Transfer to parchment paper (wax doesn’t work, it melts) Roll out the dough and start having fun! Use a spatula to transfer to a cookie sheet and don’t do what I did- bake on parchment paper! Dont forget to add a hole to string your ornament hooks/ strings Bake at 225 for 2-3 hours (Thinner dough and smaller items take about 2 hours to bake and larger is 3.) We painted our ornaments a solid white then painted our designs. My 4 year old loved this project and loved writing her name on all her ornaments. Don’t forget to add the year so you remember when your babies made these.
