I love making salt dough ornaments!
Salt dough ornaments are my go-to DIY craft. Easy to make, and very affordable, they’re an ideal craft to make alone, with friends or the kids.
Making salt Dough Ornaments and a salt dugh ornament Recipe
The best thing about salt dough ornaments is that they only require 3 ingredients that you probably already have in your home: salt, water and flour.
What You’ll Need:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup salt
1 cup of flour
How To Make Salt Dough Ornamets
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
1. Gather 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 cup of flour. Mix together in a bowl.
2. Roll dough out on counter or other flat surface.
3. Use a cookie cutter to cut dough into desired shape. If you don’t have a cookie cutter, you can use a cup. If you use the cup, you may consider imprinting your thumbprint or handprint, or using a butter knife to sign your name on the dough.
The possibilities for this step are endless!
4. Use a straw or pencil to make a circle. This small circle will be used for your string/ribbon.
5. Bake for 3 hours at 250 degrees.
6. Remove ornaments, paint, string with ribbon or twine.
Enjoy!!
That’s such a cool activity ,id love to do these with my grandchildren .
The only thing I’d say is that it takes a looong time in the oven, so you would want to do another activity because the kids might get bored waiting for them to dry.
I made these before
I love that they only require 3 ingredients!
And that they’re three things pretty much everyone has!
These are a great idea, thanks for sharing.
So fun and easy to make!!!
I helped my three grandkids make their handprints using this recipe for my daughter & son-in-law for Christmas! The grandkids had a ball mixing the dough & rolling it out! We had so much fun we did a second batch to make ornaments for the tree!
This is so simple, yet a great diy project.
Looks like lots of fun with the kids. Thank you for sharing.
Fun thanks
I remember making these at school when I as a kid.
i’ve never done this but have always wanted to!!! next time!
Looks like fun 🙂
I love it and so will my grandkids! I have those three ingredients. I also like the different shapes we can choose and the hole option to hang up our creations! I remember making paper mache items. Thanks for sharing!
I need to try Papier-mâché next!
