Last year I started a tradition of making homemade Christmas Tree ornaments for my extended family. This year I decided to make tie-dye inspired peace signs, complete with a piece of hemp chord to hang them with. (2010)
1
I started with a basic salt dough mix. Kneading the dough until it was nice and manageable. I rolled the dough into various peace sign shape and designs, kneading as needed.
2
I rolled dough into rope and discs to create the peace signs in circular and heart shapes.
3
The pieces were all baked in an oven at 250 degrees F, for lengths of time variable by the thickness and design.
4
I mixed colors to give a marbling or tie dye effect.
5
Each peace sign was painted and let to dry.
6
I tied each with a piece of hemp chord.

Ready to hang!
