Salt Dough Ornaments!

How cute are these!? You could use children's handprints or footprints or you could just use cookie cutters and make fun Christmas ornaments to put on your your tree!
The recipe is so simple!
You Will Need:
2 C. Flour
1/2 C. Salt
3/4 C. Water (I used a touch more. If you feel your dough is a little dry just add a little more at a time.)
What You're Gonna Do:
Mix all the ingredients together and knead the dough for 5 minutes with a dough hook or 10 minutes by hand. Roll out dough and make handprints or footprints or use cookie cutters! If you want to attach dough pieces to each other, use a little bit of water. Make a small hole for a hook or ribbon to hang and carefully prick the dough all over to prevent bubbling! Bake at 300 for 20-30 minutes. Bake time varies on thicknesss, I personally had mine in for about 50 minutes. They will harden as they cool, so looks can be deceptive. Once they are cooled you can paint them if you wish! You can also use a varnish to make them shiny wether you paint them or not. =D
I got this idea from Homemade Grits!
