Salt Dough Ornaments

For now, it's just the recipe so that I don't lose it. I got this one from the Baby Center website. I will add pictures of our ornaments in a while.

Instructions:This is a perfect topper to any Christmas gift!! What you need: ½ cup salt 1 cup flour ½ cup water Rolling pin Cookie sheet Toothpick Miniature cookie cutters: star and Christmas tree Acrylic paints: green, yellow, and various colors of your choice for tree ornaments Glitter glue or glitter paint ribbon(from website) Directions: Preheat oven 250 degrees Mix salt, flour, and water until dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with flour, continue to do so until stickiness is gone. Don't add to much flour!! Roll out dough with rolling pin. Use cookie cutters to cut our forms. Use toothpick at top of cutout, making a circular patter. It needs to be big enough for ribbon. Place on cookie sheet. Bake for 2 hours. Remove and allow to cool completely. Paint the trees green and the stars yellow. Use the handle end of the paint brush to dot on ornaments by dipping into paint then dotting onto ornament. When paint is dry, use glitter glue (we used green) or glitter paint (we used gold) to put a sparkling cover coat on your ornaments. When dry, thread ribbon through hole and tie in a knot in the back.
