For today’s DIY I am pulling inspiration from all the baking going on inside my head. I have gathered favorite recipes and a few new ones to try. Bought all the necessary ingredients. Next step, get to the making and baking. Coming soon!
In the meantime, here is a very fast and fun activity to add a personal touch to your tree. They would make perfect grandparent gifts too. Don’t you think? I made salt dough ornaments when I was younger and MPMK has just the right idea when it comes to this craft. It’s still as simple and rewarding as I remember. If you have flour, water and salt in your kitchen then you have ornaments! I told you they were easy.
The hand print with an initial is my favorite. Especially with a little touch of color added for interest, it makes them just a bit more festive. I wonder if you could color the dough? Have you tried these lately? Did you add some color? I’d love to see how yours turned out.
Have a fun day today and…
Live Well
Good morning daughter of mine.. Aga & Papa would just love to have those handprint
ones of our beautiful grandchildren.. (hint,hint) xoxo
I’ll see what I can do! xo
I love salt dough! It’s funny though, I don’t remember if we ever used it to make ornaments. I do remember adding food coloring to the dough. I like the hand prints…too cute. Did you do these yet? I remember letting these air dry…baking is probably easier. Does it shrink much though…I’m thinking about the size of the handprint. Love ya buddy
I think I made them in kindergarten and we colored the dough also. I remember making a snail in about 2nd or 3rd grade and it was shellacked onto a piece of wood. I loved that crazy thing! They don’t shrink much at all. That I do remember.
