Recipe Introduction


Please note that these ornaments are inedible!
Make these for your tree or gifts for others. Great parent/kid project.This recipe, which cannot be halved or doubled, makes 30 small inedible ornaments.



List of Ingredients




Baked Dough Ornaments

To make these ornaments, you will need the following ingredients:
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water (or more as needed)


Recipe



Mix the flour and the salt. Make a hole in the center of the mixture and pour in the water. Mix thoroughly, adding more water if necessary (dough should be smooth, not crumbly nor sticky). Form into balls and store in plastic bags to prevent drying out.

On a surface covered with waxed paper, roll out one ball at a time to a half inch thickness. Cut out the shapes. (We used cookie cutters.) You can reuse the scraps by kneading and rolling back into balls. Use a toothpick or straw to make a hole in the top of each ornament. (You can use copper wire or ribbon to hang your ornament.)

Bake the ornaments at 350 F for 45 minutes to 90 minutes or until pin inserted in dough comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool.

Use a small brush to paint details. (We even used markers to color the ornaments.) Allow the paint to dry and brush on two or three coats of polyurethane or varnish for a protective finish.

These make great gifts for grandparents and friends!
