1) Place lint in a saucepan and cover it with the water. When the lint is saturated, add the flour and stir until the mixture is smooth.

2) Add the flavoring. (This is to help it smell better - for God's sake, don't try eating this mess!)

3) Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it forms peaks and holds together.

4) Pour it onto the newspaper to cool.

5) Shape and model figures, or cover a form with it, such as a balloon, armature, etc.

6) Allow to dry for 3 - 5 days, then paint and decorate as required.

7) Stand back and wait to be contacted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art
