Description

Salt dough handprint ornaments for the Christmas tree.

Instructions

  1. Make salt dough (1 cup plain flour, 1 cup salt, half cup water) knead and roll flat.

  2. Press hand firmly in to the dough and cut around using a sharp knife.

  3. Poke a hole at the top with a skewer/straw for the ribbon.

  4. Leave on a wire rack for 1/2 days. You can oven dry them in about 4/5 hours at 90 degrees celcius, but I prefer air drying!

  5. Paint as above and leave to dry.

  6. Thread ribbon through then hole, tie and voila!
