Christmas Crafts w/MJ
Another Christmas tradition in our home is MJ and I make a few handmade ornaments for our tree. This year we decided to make dough ornaments. Super easy and MJ loves playing with dough.
All you need is salt, flour and water.
1c Salt
1c Flour
1/2c Water (more or less)
Kneed and roll out dough.
Then using cookie cutters (hand for Santa Ornament) cut out your shapes
bake @ 200 for 3 hrs
Paint, seal and ready to hang
I rolled this our to about 1/4 inch thickness
Using a cookie cutter, cut out desired shape. I used a wooded skewer to make the hole to loop the ribbon.
After cutting our shapes, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake @ 200 for about 3 hrs
Once the dough is completely cooled, we are ready for paint.
This was MJ favorite part. Why is the messiest task always the funnest for my little Monkey?
MJ finished painting all his ornaments.
I added all the detailed work.
Lots of fun and they make great gifts!
Just make sure your mark them fragile and use lots of bubble wrap when you mail em :)
