diy ornaments.

Thursday, December 13, 2012





remember THIS post? I made those cinnamon ornaments with Elisabeth. They were a hit!  Jude loved it too, which is always a bonus. If you decide to make them, make sure they are thick. oh. and they smell ah-maz-ing.!.!

I am in charge of Elisabeth's class party and I was looking for a craft. I came across THIS via pinterest. I thought I would try it out and do a trail run pre-class party. EPIC FAIL. has anyone used this recipe before? seriously, it was a mess and looked like a huge white glob.

So I just went back to the good 'ol salt dough recipe. you will need:

2 cups of flour /1 cup of salt/ 3/4 cup of water (add a little more water is dough is clumpy) /roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters/ poke holes for hanging/ makes sure holes are big enough to fit string through/ bake at 200 for 20 mins then flip and bake for 10 mins./ when finished you can paint or color with marker/ use glitter and what ever other decor you want/ you can even add glitter prior to baking/ 

cost: less than $1.00 and yeilds about 20-30 ornaments.

I too have had an "epic fail" when attempting salt dough ornaments. Glad you found the magic ingredients!
