    Source of Recipe


    friend on the internet

    List of Ingredients





    2 cups flour
    1 cup salt
    1 cup water


    Recipe




    1. Mix salt and flour.
    2. Add in half the water, then gradually add the remaining water.
    3. Knead until the dough is smooth, this can take up to 10 minutes.
    4. For flat dough ornaments roll out the dough on baking paper
    Or be creative and make odd shapes and wreaths (takes longer to bake)

    Create:
    Use cookie cutters, cut-out templates, or just use your hands.
    Dust dough with flour and begin to add details to the ornaments with a toothpick, popsicle stick, and knife.

    Don't Forget:
    Use a straw to make a hole so you can hang the ornament.

    Baking: Time varies based on thickness of ornament
    Temperature: 325 degrees
    Time: 1 1/2 hours - or until dry

    Decorate: Let cool before you begin
    Paint with acrylic paints
    Glue on beads, buttons, or any fun accessory

    Preservation: Making them last a long time
    Coat with acrylic varnish when everything is dry

    *** Color Variation Notes from our Visitors***
