A Christmas DIY...reusable gift tags for the tree, as decoration or to wrap
presents...made using cornstarch and baking soda and painted with chalkboard
paint, I found it here.
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups baking soda- 1.5 cups water
Plus, the materials are minimal as well:
- small sauce pan- spoon - wax paper or parchment paper- cookie cutters - straw- string or twine- chalkboard paint- chalk
2. Remove pan from heat. Place dough on plate or plastic wrap to cool. Knead for five minutes when it's cool enough to touch. At this point you can store the dough in an air-tight container indefinitely, or roll it out right now.
3. Roll the dough to less than .25" thick if possible. Cut out your desired shapes with cookie cutters. Use a straw to cut out a small hole at the top of your tag for threading.
5. Once the tags are dry, apply one coat of chalkboard paint, painting the strokes vertically. Once dry, paint a second coat with horizontal strokes. Allow to dry completely - overnight would be best.
6. Condition the chalkboard by rubbing surface with chalk and erasing. Thread your tag hole with baker's twine, embroidery floss, or brown twine - something sturdy.
1. Combine all ingredients in sauce pan on medium heat, and stir constantly until the mixture is almost too thick to stir (about 5-10 minutes).

days, depending on how thick you cut the dough.

Barrejar els tres primers ingredients a un pot a foc mig-baix i remena
