Salt Clay Craft

Boil salt and water, adding cornstarch with additional water until mixture is of consistency of gravy. Stir and cook until it is a thick mass. Put on waxed paper and cool. Divide into parts, coloring parts with food coloring or fabric dye. Apply clay to pottery, pots, glass vases or bottles. If clay sticks to hands, wet hands with water. Press colored buttons, old jewelry, etc. into clay as soon as you put it on pot. Allow to dry completely before handling.
