Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the baking soda, cornstarch, and water over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and forms a smooth paste, similar to mashed potatoes, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly until it is warm but safe to handle.

  3. Sprinkle a flat surface with a small amount of cornstarch to prevent sticking. Place the dough on the surface and knead it gently for about 1 minute until pliable and smooth.

  4. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use the star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out individual stars. Lightly dust the cutter with cornstarch if dough sticks.

  5. Make a hole at the top of each star using a straw or toothpick for threading the twine.

  6. Allow the stars to air dry for at least 24 hours, flipping halfway through to ensure even drying and hardening.

  7. Cut a length of twine or string to desired garland length. Thread the twine through the holes in each star, spacing evenly.

  8. Hang the star garland in a desired location to decorate your home.
