DIY GIFT IDEA
Salt dough ornaments!
I obviously made hand and foot prints but you could also use cookie cutters to cut out any shape you like.
Just mix dough, roll out to be 1/4” thick, then make your shapes
Bake at 250 for 2.5 hours
Once cool you can paint them or if you just like the plain color, seal it with modge podge and add a ribbon of your choice!
Salt dough ornaments are a delightful way to create personalized gifts that carry sentimental value. To make the dough, combine 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of salt, and 3/4 cup of warm water. Knead the mixture until it becomes pliable yet non-sticky. Roll out the dough to 1/4" thickness. You can use cookie cutters for fun shapes or make hand and foot prints for a more personal touch. After shaping, bake the ornaments at 250°F for 2.5 hours until they harden. Once cooled, you can choose to paint them with acrylic paint or seal them with Mod Podge for a glossy finish. Adding a ribbon can make these ornaments even more festive, making them great for gifting during the holiday season. Personalization enhances the emotional value, making these DIY gifts truly special. Get creative with colors and techniques to customize your salt dough ornaments, ensuring each piece is a unique treasure for family and friends.
