Its that Time of the year for us to make our Dough Ornaments , We have been making these for about 5 years .( I will try ad find pictures from previous years)
It's a great way to change up your look year to year and a great way to get the kiddo's involved but the biggest bonus is it saves alot of money :)
It's super Easy to do
How to make salt dough ornaments
you will need
- 4 cups of flour
- 1 1/2 Cups warm water
- 1 cup salt
- rolling pin
- cookie cutters
- cookie sheets
- Wire Hangers ( Found mine at the dollar store )
I like to dissolve the salt in the warm water for just a min , then add the flour and knead for about 15 mins ( it helps to get hands a little damp if it needed)
Rub some flour on the surface you plan to roll it out on to help it from sticking .
roll it out about 1/4"
Cut out the shapes you want , you can also use a knife to cut shapes if you don't have cutters ( the owl and small start are from the boys play dough stash )
Make sure to Poke a hole in where you want the hanger to go ( I use a ink pen)
I got about 35 out of this batch
Pre-Heat Oven to 250 and cook for about 30 mins
I let them sit for about 3 hours to cool before painting
( You can also let them air dry but this can take upto 3 days )
Now for the FUN! part Create!
Hmmm...... I actually took his paint and rubbed it all over his face! ( oh my Correction! I meant HE not I, I would NOT do that lol )
it's so much fun! I just love it
