c. soap flakes (like Ivory Snow)
1/2
c. cold water
Place soap flakes and water in a medium size bowl. Squeeze the mixture
together with your hands until it becomes slightly damp and sticks together.
(This mixture dries quickly, so you'll have to work fast!) Now you
can form it into any shape you'd like, animals, snowmen, decorations, tree
ornaments, etc. Place the finished sculpture(s) in the refrigerator
to harden.
