Materials:
• 4 cups flour
• 1 cup salt
• 1-1 / 2 cups water
* This made 25 cookie cutter ornaments and 3 large handprint ornaments!)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix flour and salt well. Gradually add water. Knead dough for about 15 minutes, until soft and pliable.
2. Roll the dough out on a floured surface about 1 / 8” thick. Cut shapes with cookie cutters. We used a small bowl to cut a circle for the handprints. Poke holes in the top of the ornaments to thread ribbon through later for hanging.
3. Place ornaments on a cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for approximately 45 minutes( until they are hard).
4. Paint with acrylic paint.
These beautiful handmade ornaments are a treasure! I have stored them with our other ornaments in a large container and they keep very well. The kids love seeing their own creations on our tree.
