1 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
2 Tablesponns cream of tartar
1 cup water
2 teaspoon desired food coloring
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil or baby oil
Mix flour, salt and cream of tartar in a saucepan.
Add water,food coloring, and oil.
Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes while stirring until it separates from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
Turn it out of the pan and knead with more flour until you get a soft dough.
Store in an airtight container.
And while you're at it, try making some Silly Putty-like Goop:
2 part white glue (such as Elmer's but NOT school glue)
1 part liquid starch
Mix well and allow to dry a bit until it becomes smooth and rubbery.
Store in airtight container. Hint: Add food coloring to starch before mixing with glue.
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the
dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!
