Put the whole pan full of dough on a good sized cookie sheet. After it cools down, knead the clay until it feels nice and smooth to the touch.

Roll the dough out and you can cut it with an Exacto knife or cookie cutters. You can also shape things with your hands or squeeze it through a cookie cutter bag. This clay makes lots of neat things - including great Christmas ornaments.
