Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup salt
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Mix salt and flour.
- Add in half the water, then gradually add the remaining water.
- Knead until the dough is smooth, this can take up to 10 minutes
- Dust dough with flour, then begin to add details to the ornaments with a toothpick, popsicle stick, and knife.
- Tip: Don’t forget – use a straw to make a hole so you can hang the ornament or use a small piece of wire inserted while the dough is soft. (I use a 34 gage wire, cut it about an inch then fold it to a horseshoe shape and stick the two ends in the dough)
- Baking:
- Time varies based on thickness of ornament. The temperature should be at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until dry.
- Decorate:
- Let ornaments cool before you begin
- Paint with acrylic paints
- Glue on beads, buttons, or any fun accessory
- Preservation{so they’ll last a long time}:
- Coat with acrylic varnish when everything is dry.
