What “yule” need:

3 cups baking soda
3 cups cornstarch
1 5/8 cups water (cold)

How to prepare it:

Combine baking soda and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add the water gradually until you have a smooth mixture. Stir this mixture constantly under heat (not too hot mind you) until it reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes.

Put your clay mixture on a plate large enough to accommodate it and cover it with a dampened towel. When the dough is cool enough to handle, Knead it and your read to start shaping it into Christmas ornaments, Christmas beads, decorations for a faux gingerbread house, or anything else you can think of.

The main thing is to have fun!
