cookie sheet in the sun for a few hours, or let them dry overnight.
This way of drying is good for small objects.
4... To oven dry your objects set at low 225~. Bake small thin
objects for about 15 minutes. Bake thick objects for about 1/2 hour
each side.
5... After your objects have dried and cooled, they are ready to be
painted with felt tip markers. To protect the finnish on your object,
brush them with two coats of clear nail polish after the colors are
dry. This will help the colors from coming off.
