How long does salt dough last

[lissy]

once made does it need to be used straight away or can it be stored in a airtight container for later on ??

Wanted to make diwali tea lights tomorrow but only have 1 little one in the day and then 4 after school??

As long as it is sealed it will last but try putting it in the fridge too. Personally I would make it each day and bake it straight afterwards.

You can keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for quite a while..

mine is 2 weeks old now...and has been used a couple of times.

if it gets to wet just add a bit more flour/salt to it.

I've worked in a nursery in the past where it lasted and lasted - it was always kept in airtight containers but not in the fridge.
