4. Cook over low heat while stirring constantly, until mixture holds together and forms peaks.

5. Pour out and cool on several thickness of newspaper.

Makes about 8 cups of modeling clay. You may shape over objects or press into a mold or use the same as you would use paper-maché pulp. It takes 3 to 5 days to dry to a very hard surface.

When wet, it is easily worked. Store unused portion in an airtight container. It will keep for several days.
