They can also make great decorative touches. Any type of paint and varnish can be used to make a striking piece. To add lighter pastels, you can also use chalk markers or pens.

Smaller stitches make the face rounder, and larger stitches create ridges at seams.

How To
How to Start Baking
Baking is the process of making food from flour and eggs, sugar, butter, and other ingredients. Baking relies on flour, fats/sugars, leavening ingredients, salt and water. We'll be covering how to make bread. Common ingredients such as wheat flour, yeast and milk powder, eggs whites, butter, oil, salt, honey, and olive oil will all be used.
You need to combine these ingredients in order to bake bread. First, add the dry ingredients to your bowl (flour. yeast. salt). Then, add your wet ingredients (milk powder, eggs white). Combine them all. Mix in the honey, then knead until the dough is smooth. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes. After rising, the dough should feel light and soft. You can roll the dough out and place on a baking pan. Bake at 180°C 15 minutes.
