Matt came in and said, "Didn't you guys do these last year and they didn't turn out?"
Simple ingredients: 1/2 cup salt, 1/2 cup water, 1 cup flour
Stirring it up!
Cutting it out
Before going in the oven. We used a straw to make holes to thread the string in the ornament. (We baked the ornaments at 250 for 2 hours)
After the ornaments were completely cooled, we painted them.
And added some glitter!
Finished! I painted a layer of sealer on the ornaments to preserve them.
I am going to add gold string to the ornaments and tie them onto some of the Christmas presents that we are giving our parents. I think they will like them too.

Very cool! I've been looking for more ornaments to make with my kids!
Wow! Those came out very nicely. And, they don't look too hard. Maybe an anti-crafter like me could even accomplish that without incident. Stopping by from SITS...happy holidays!
I just know there must be flour in that recipe somewhere...lol.
They turned out great...perhaps something Riley and I will try!
Oooh! I love them! What kind of sealer did you use? I want to do these with the kids.
Aren't you glad you tried again? They look fantastic! I love salt dough ornaments!

Love these ornaments! I think that my mom may have a few left that we made as kids. I have been wanting to make an ornament with Michael.
