Day 18 Dough ornaments

This afternoon we made Christmas dough ornaments for our Christmas tree. I've been wanting an excuse for years to make these and finally I was able to (Yippee!). 

The recipe for the dough is basic;

* 4 cups of plain flour

* 1 cup of salt

*1 & 1/2 cups of warm water

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 165 degrees C.

2. Mix flour and salt and gradually add water- stirring with a large spoon. Finish off the mixing with your hands.

3. Roll out dough and cut Christmas shapes with cookie cutters. Then place them on cookie sheets and use a straw to make a hole in the top of each ornament for threading string afterwards. Bake until hard- for roughly an hour. 

4. Decorate with paint and varnish to preserve.
