  Step 1

  Make the salt dough by mixing salt and flour. Knead dough until it reaches a playdough like consistency. Roll the dough out smooth to about 1/4"

  Step 2

  Use your heart cookie cutter to cut out some hearts. Then, have your loved one press their thumbprint into the heart. If you're using a very small child, you could even fit two: one from each hand!

• Step 3

  Use the straw to cut a hole in one side of the heart. You will use this as a way to put the hanger on later. Bake at 250 degrees for about 3 hours. The hearts are done when they are completely hard to the touch.

  Step 4

  Allow the hearts to cool, then paint with your paint of choice. We used Folkart silver enamel to get a sleek metallic look. When the paint is dry, you can hang these on a keychain or a necklace chain!
