Fall Ornaments …


Justin had no school on Monday (teacher collaboration day) … so I decided to do a fun project with the kids. We made the cutest Salt Dough Ornaments.




Between the wonderful fall cookie cutters we have and our own creations we made a great batch of fall hanging ornaments and mini bowl ornaments.



The kids loved rolling and cutting out the shapes. Makenna fell asleep while they were baking so she missed out on the painting but she sure was my super duper helper when I clear coated them and added the fabric ties.





Eager to make some of your own!! Here is what you need:

Salt Dough Recipe
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. salt
1 c. water


Mix flour and salt together - add water - knead until dough forms (add a touch of flour if sticky, a touch of water if too dry)

Bake at 325 degrees for 30-45 min. depending on how "thick" you make them.
