Bring in some Holiday cheer with DIY crafts!

Salt Dough Ornament Recipe:

1 cup of flour

1 cup of salt

up to 1 cup of water.

Mix the dry ingredients and add water.

If dough is too sticky, add equal amounts of salt and flour until the dough holds together.

Roll out some dough and cut out shapes with your favorite cookie cutters.

Use a straw to add a hole in each shape that we could later hang a ribbon through.

Bake at 212 F or 100 C for 2-3 hours, or until hard.
