CIY Staff Tips:
-
Model Magic pieces that haven’t dried will easily adhere to one another. For added strength, or to attach dried pieces of Model Magic together, use our No-Run Washable School Glue.
-
We used Crayola Scissors to help shape our Model Magic, but you could also use our Model Magic Shape ‘n Cut Tools.
