I love Christmas and the best thing about Christmas is the decorating. I was so excited to find out that we are changing our plans and having Christmas in our new home. So since it is finally December I will be crafting all kinds of fun holiday decor. The first on my list were ornaments. I needed to make something easy, quick, kid friendly, and CHEAP! After a while of thinking Salt Dough Ornaments it is! Now you can make them too.
Side Note* Why did my camera decide to put the freakin-a date? Ugh!! O well.
Here we go....
What you need
* Mixing Bowl/Measuring cups/Rolling pin
* Table Salt
* All Purpose Flour
* Water
* Cookie Cutters
* Paint, Pens ,Glitter whatever you want to use to decorate your cookie. I just used a red pin.
Step 1.
Mix 1/2 cup of water , 1/2 cup of salt ,and 1 cup of flour until it becomes doughy!?
Step 2.
Knead your dough until it becomes stretchy. They flour your work space whatever it might be and begin to roll your dough.
Step 3.
After you have rolled your dough out. I made mine 1/4" thick. Cut out your shapes with your cookie cutter. then take a pen, toothpick ,knife whatever you like and make a hole in the top of your cookie. This is where you will later put your string , twin etc... to hang your ornament.
Step 4.
Set your oven to 325 and bake for 30 min. Be sure to keep an eye on them just to make sure they don't burn. When they are done take them out and set aside for them to cool.
Step 5. Decorate!
Hope you enjoy your ornaments and the fun with the little ones!
