Open your almond paste and get it out of the can. For me, this required a can opener, a spoon, some cuss words, and a ninja like catch as I launched a gob of it at my head. Don't worry, I'm ok.

Powder your counter with a bit of sugar and dust your almond paste with a bit more. Now you kneed the almond paste like bread dough or clay. Whenever it gets too sticky to handle, dust it again with powdered sugar. You can also have a bowl with some powdered sugar in it, and just roll the almond paste ball around in there when it gets sticky; this should coat it with sugar so that you can go back to kneading.
