DIY Cornflour Dough Recipe & Tutorial

Recently I made some decorations using salt dough. You can read about them in my post “Salt Dough Handprint Christmas Ornament Tutorial”. I ended up painting the salt dough white after they had been cooked.

 

Since making them I have discovered a recipe that makes a whiter dough. It is made from cornflour, bicarbonate of soda and water (all ingredients I had at home – yay!) When cooked it has a shimmer to it which looks quite Christmassy so I am going to leave these decorations unpainted.

 

Cornflour Dough Recipe:

1.5 cups of water

2 cups of bicarbonate of soda

1 cup of cornflour.

 

I have created a video tutorial to show how to make the dough.

This dough can be wrapped in a damp cloth and stored in the fridge in a ziplock bag. I am hoping to create some Christmas decorations and maybe some gift tags next week. I will write a blog post to show you what I end up making.
