How Do You Make Ornaments From Dough?
Using dough is one of the simplest – and cheapest – ways to make your own ornaments. Step 1 Mix salt and flour together. Add water. Step 2 Knead dough until smooth. The dough should be very stiff. Add more flour if it’s too sticky. Step 3 Roll dough out and cut out ornaments with cookie cutters, or cut out your own figures and shapes by hand. Step 4 Push a straw, pen or other thin object through ornament at top to make a hole for hanging. Step 5 Bake ornaments for 1 hour in oven at low setting. Step 6 Allow to cool. Step 7 Decorate. You can paint ornaments with watercolors or other type of paint, or use colored markers. Be creative. Step 8 Coat ornaments when dry with a clear protective coating. Step 9 Put ornament hanger or ribbon through hole and hang.
