Salt Dough Cavies by Leslie
This is a fun, easy and very inexpensive craft project...enjoy! Directions: Mix 4 cups of plain flour, with 1 cup of salt, and 1/2 cups of water. Mix and knead until well blended into dough. Shape into little figurines or cup out shape with cookie cutters. DO NOT EAT the dough! Bake at a low temp: 250-300 degrees for one to two hours, until they look golden in color. Remove and let cool completely. Then paint. Be creative and have fun!
