The other day S and I had fun making salt dough gift tags/ornaments. I had wanted to make handprint ornaments for the girls but they didn't turn out that great so I improvised and we did cookie cutter shapes out of the rest of the dough.
I used this recipe which I found on pinterest. I would suggest mixing for the whole time they suggest if not longer. I think that's why mine didn't turn out like the pictures, but when your working with a toddler you can't take forever hand kneading the dough (a step I should have done during naptime).
Out of the oven and cooled, now time to paint!
I let her paint green first, then after that dried I gave her red (didn't want to end up with a disgusting brown color).
After the paint was all dry I took a sharpie and drew on the initial of the person who would be getting the gift.
I also wrote on the back with a finer pen saying the 'To' and 'From'.
And just in case you were wondering, here are the handprint ornaments, like I said they didn't turn out the greatest, but better than nothing :)
A couple coats of spray varnish and some ribbon and they are ready to give!
