Christmas Gift

This craft/gift was such a great idea in my head, but now I am wishing I had done ornaments with their photo's. They didn't turn out as adorable- as I had hoped... but the kids did have a good time.

We made Salt Dough ornaments and painted them.

 

Classic Salt Dough:

2C flour

1C salt

1C water

Mix and Knead the dough until smooth.

Roll dough and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.

(After you cut the ornament out- make sure you make a hole!)

 

Bake ornaments at  325 degrees for 1hr-1 1/2 hrs or until dry.

 

Once they are dry and cooled - paint and decorate.

 

Like I said, they aren't adorable-- but they are 100% child made

and they had a lot of fun.
