Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups salt
  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 teaspoon Wilton black food dye
  • 2 teaspoons gold glitter

Notes

Make certain that you store the leftover play dough in a container with a lid. If not, it’s not going to last very long and you’ll have to make it over pretty quickly.
