Salt Dough Decorations (craft project)

2c All-Purpose Flour
1c Salt
1c water

Mix together the flour and salt.  Slowly add the water to the dry mix.  When mix is wet knead on a lightly floured surface.  Shape or roll out, this is the creative part.  Let dry overnight or for 2-3 hours in the oven at 250 degrees.  Paint them with Acrylics or water colors.

We make these decorations a lot throughout the year for family and friends.  We've done pumpkins, cookie cutter snow flakes, snowmen, apples, and snow globes.  We keep it seasonal and I put the kids names on the back of the ones they paint with the year for a keepsake moment.
