Instead of cream of tartar could you use baking powder? Great vid!

@rainbowpie101 Thanks :) No, you can't use baking powder instead. Baking powder is a raising agent while cream of tartar is a preserving agent. It's one of the things that stops it going off without refrigeration.

Is there a way to make it white? And, also I had this play-dough-ish stuff and I made figures and charms and then let them dry. Then they went hard and not crumbly and they worked really well . So I was wondering if you can do this with this sort of play-dough. Please reply. I am 11 years old and have NOTHING to do on the holidays! :O

@EpicHamsters For dough that dries well check out videos on making salt dough. That's the type of dough that you're after.

can you bake your play dough and make clay sculptures?

[Knittingand]

@thepartytimes I suppose so but you'd be better off looking for instructions on making "salt dough" as that is supposed to be baked or dried :)
