I posted the recipe on my blog - but there are lots of good ones out there.

To put in that much work and then have it crumble... Try a salt dough recipe (flour and salt). They tell you to bake it but it's like Playdough and will dry out on it's own in a couple of days. I still have ornaments the kids made about 3 years ago and they're doing fine. Oh, bummer. To put in that much work and then have it crumble…
