Dough Ornaments made From Flour
(Get an Adult or Parent to Help You with These)
Make your
very own Christmas tree ornaments from the flour in your kitchen!
Items
You Need:
2
cups flour
2
cups salt
1
cup water
Christmas
Cookie Cutters
Paint
and brushes
Yarn
or String for hanging
Craft
decorations
Glues, Glitters, Beads, Sequins
Oven Temperature at 225 Degrees F
How
to Mix Your Dough:
Mix the
flour, salt and water to make the dough. Knead it with your
hands for about 10 minutes. Roll out the dough to the thickness
you want your ornament to be and then cut it with the cookie
cutters.
Make a
hole with a pencil at the top (for the yarn or string to go
through).
*
Put your dough ornaments on a cookie
sheet and bake them at 225 degrees F for 2 or 3 hours. (Make
sure to turn them over at least 3 times so they bake evenly.)
* An adult needs to place these in the oven. Be careful!
When they
are a light golden color or appear to be done, take them out
and let them cool completely. Now, you can decorate them however
you want. Thread the yarn through the hole you made with the
pencil, tie it into a knot and now you can hang your dough
ornament on the tree!
Dough
Ornaments can be made to look like people, animals or anything
you want. Use wiggle eyes, yarn for hair or fur and even felt
to make clothing. Use your imagination to make a great ornament
or even give one as a gift to give to someone at Christmas.
