Dough Ornament Recipe

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Whisk together flour and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined. Gradually stir in water, about 1/2 cup at a time, until a dough forms. When it gets too difficult to stir with a spoon, use your hands to mix it.

3 . Stage

Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead until soft and pliable. Roll out to a thickness of 1/8 inch; cut desired shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer dough shapes to ungreased cookie sheets; use a toothpick to make a hole in each ornament for hanging.

4 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until hard, about 1 hour, switching racks halfway through.

5 . Stage

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Decorate as desired with acrylic paint and craft varnish to preserve. Thread a string through each hole. kwalker
