BAKED CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
Great for Children and something that will bring back memories for years. Also great gifts for Grandparents or friends.
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 1/2 cup water
Mix well and roll to about 1/2 inch thick. Form into shapes or use cookie cutters.
Insert a bent paper clip at the top of dough figure for attaching a hook to hang. Fine wire can also be used.
Bake at 300 degrees, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool and paint with acrylic paints. Use a clear coat of water soluble Liquitex or decoupage varnish to preserve the colors.
I still have some that my children painted at different ages, starting at age 3. Great treasures & memories.
