Cinnamon is so cheap on eBay! Makes your postie smell festive too.....

I'm woeking on combining the cinnamon & apple puree with a salt dough recipe. I'm trying to get less shrinkage.

I'm going to give these a try, thanks for the recipe. Can you tell me what pen you use? I've checked out so many white 3d pens and none of them are suitable for pourus materials like wood and dough! Which are the two materials I work with. Thanks again

I've tried lots of things, even white correction pens, but in the end I went for Anita's 3D paint in Glossy White, which looks like icing. Takes about 24 hours to dry properly though.

Do these have to be baked ?

I try and just air dry my salt dough, less shrinkage, warping, cracking.

takes longer, but cheaper.

Luckily here I can just put them by a south facing window, most any day of the year, and they dry quite happily.

Also handy for several stage pieces as easier to add to without obvious joins, etc , than when baked!!

How long do they take to air dry?

What would be the best way to store these if they were made in bulk, would they need an airtight container?

A Bag...

One of those self-sealing freezer bags, or a bag without ventilation holes tied tightly at the top. As long as they are stored away from moisture they should be fine. I've a bag of them in my workroom cupboard and they've been there 18 months, and they are as new. Just make sure you bake them until dry, turning frequently to prevent warping. Don't roll the dough out to less than ½ centimetre, or they will warp big time.
