DIY Salt Dough Ornaments: Christmas Tree Footprints & Santa Handprints
In case you’re in search of a easy, enjoyable Christmas craft, these DIY salt dough handprint ornaments are all the time a favourite.
My daughter Courtney made Santa handprint ornaments final yr for her child boy Forrest’s first Christmas, and once more this yr with Christmas tree footprints, too. Aren’t they cute?
They’re straightforward to make, use fundamental pantry substances, and switch into particular keepsakes you’ll need to grasp on the tree each Christmas. They make an excellent grandparent reward, too!
Right here’s how we made them:
4 cups flour
1 cup desk salt
1.5 cups heat water
Combine all of it collectively, roll it out on a floured floor to about 1/4 thickness, stamp fingers, minimize them out, punch a gap for an decoration (we used a metallic straw!), bake at 200-250 for 2-4 hours. (It ought to really feel utterly arduous and dry, not cool or damp inside)
Paint (acrylic paint, look ahead to every layer to dry, use a toothpick for small particulars and a Sharpie for the Santa eyes).
Seal with a spray sealer like this or Mod Podge. Add baker’s twine or ribbon to hold on the tree!
Merry Christmas!
