This is the one and only time we have made salt dough ornaments and I am sold. The kids loved it from start to finish...mixing the dough by hand, rolling out, making shapes and the painting.
Salt Dough Recipe:
1 cup salt
2 cup flour
1 cup water
Mix the salt and flour together. Then start adding the water...you might not need it all. The dough must not be too sticky. Knead until you have a smooth dough consistency. Roll out and cut shapes out with Christmas cookie cutters....if you are making tree ornaments then don't forget to skewer out a hole which it will be hung from. Bake in the oven 200 deg celcius for an hour or until dry...if thick it might be 2 to three hours.
Paint with acrylic paint and modge podge if you want them to be shiny.
