Salt Dough Ornaments

So yesterday I realized that Christmas is almost here.. And I have yet to do any Christmas crafts with the kids! This bring us to the salt dough ornaments. I wanted to make something that I had all the supplies for, and this doesn't require much so it was perfect.

What you will need: 2 cups of flour

                                  1 cup of salt

                                  1 cup of water

                                  Cookie cutters

                                  Baking sheet

                                  Mixing Bowl

                                  Rolling Pin

Instructions: Mix together salt and water, then gradually add in water as you mix together.

                      Flour the counter top so it doesn't stick, roll dough onto counter.

                      Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.

                      Bake at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until hard.

                      Paint when cool! Cover in clear coat afterwards if desired.

See? Really easy. My ornaments don't look very Christmasy though do they? Hehe.

Christmas Decor :)

We aren't "officially" supposed to be putting up the Christmas decorations until Friday... but I couldn't help but make one little thing. Well, a center piece. :) I bought a bunch of Christmas Decor from the thrift store and to make this I used gold painted pine cones, (only cost me 50 cents a bag), a vase.. which i already had, a little bunch of silver leaves, and then I just tied some red and green ribbon around the center. Tacky? Maybe. I don't care. I like it :)

Sorry for the horrible picture quality... A camera phone doesn't take the best pictures.
