• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar (for preservation)
• Optional: Gouache paint for coloring

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch and white school glue.
2. Add the vegetable oil and lemon juice (or vinegar) to the mixture.

Step 3: Knead the Mixture

Once the mixture is well combined:

1. Transfer it to a clean surface.
2. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. If it feels too sticky, sprinkle a little more cornstarch as needed.

Step 4: Shape and Create

After kneading:

• Use the cold porcelain to craft your desired items, such as:
  • Christmas decorations
  • Figurines
  • Jewelry pieces
• If you want to add color, incorporate gouache paint into the dough during mixing or paint your creations after they dry.

Step 5: Allow to Dry

Your creations will need to air dry:

• Place them on a flat surface.
• Allow them to dry completely, which may take several hours to overnight depending on thickness.

Tips for Best Results

• Store any unused cold porcelain in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.
• For added strength, ensure your pieces are thin and evenly shaped.
• Experiment with different colors and textures by mixing in various paints or additives.
