2. Mix well with hands until mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Roll one quarter of the dough between 2 pieces of waxed paper til about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters, etc. Use toothpick or similar object to make holes for hanging. Wiggle the toothpick around a little to make the hole larger.
5. Dry on wire rack for several days, turning daily so they don't curl up as they dry. You could also dry them in a 250 degree F oven (125 degrees C) til hard and dry.
