Description: Instructions for making salt dough ornaments.
If you are looking for some fun and inexpensive
crafts to do this
Christmas, making ornaments with salt dough is a
good choice.
Basically, with salt, flour, water and some
decorations you can make
beautiful ornaments to give as gifts to family and
friends. On a
rainy or cold day, you will probably have these
items around the
house. This is an excellent craft for kids. My
kids and I started
making these about 3 years ago and now it has become
a tradition each
year during the holidays. We make these for
everyone and now people
look forward to getting one each year. You can also
make these for
any occasion. We have made them for Valentines Day
too.
What you Need:
4 Cups of Flour
1 Cup of Salt
1 1/2 Cups of Hot Water
Holiday Cookie Cutters
Decorations, Glitter, Paint, Beads, Etc.
Knead the dough and roll it out to cut out shapes
with cookie cutters
(just like if you were making sugar cookies). Place
them on a
microwave safe plate and microwave on high for about
2 minutes.
Paint and decorate as desired. Most of all, be
creative and have a
lot of fun!
