Salt Dough Ornaments Using Impression Cookie Cutters

I'm always looking for new ornaments and when I brought my feather tree out for Valentine's Day stopped by all the usual stores, but didn't find anything. So that meant I'd have to make something on my own:@) Salt Dough Ornaments are a quick and easy craft that's been around forever, the fun twist on it is using the impression cookie cutters that are out today. Since salt dough is just flour, salt and water you can still safely use the cookie cutters for cookies too, whereas working with clay requires dedicated cutters.

  Because I'm frugal er, resourceful, I used some old nail polish to paint the ornaments. 

Use whatever you'd like or have to decorate them.

And my absolute favorite idea for dough or clay is making these baby footprint ornaments HERE.
A friend (first time Grandma) surprised her family at Christmas with them this year and there were tears of joy!

Salt Dough
1 part flour
1/2 part table salt
1/2 part water-you won't need all of the water

1. Mix flour and salt and slowly start adding water. Keep mixing well until the dough just starts to come together. There's a nice picture tutorial HERE.
2. Roll out to desired thickness, cut out with cookie cutters and use the plunger to add detail to the ornaments.
3. Place ornaments on non-stick cookie sheet or parchment paper and either dry in the lowest setting of your oven for 3-4 hours or let sit out at room temperature for a few days.
4. Paint or decorate as desired.

Make something fun and have a happy day:@)
