Preparation

Step 1

Mix salt and flour. Add in half the water, then eventually add the remaining water. Knead until the dough is smooth, this can take up to 10 minutes. For flat dough ornaments roll out the dough on baking paper or be creative and make odd shapes and wreaths (takes longer to bake). Now that you have your mixture completed, you simply take cookie cutters or your hands and create anything you please. It can be big or small, epending on how much stuff you make. The best way to make a hole in the top of the ornament so that you can hang it from the tree is to place a straw where you want it and press firly and twist. It then slices the through all the salt-dough. To bake the salt-dough, it depends somewhat on the thickness your creation. Set your oven to 325° F and leave in for an hour to an hour and a half.v If you think its done, make sure it is dry, then it is done.
