Homemade Ornaments!
So it’s that time of year where our fridges
are full of thanksgiving left overs and the trees are freshly put up! Which
means it’s time to jig up that tree for all to see, but when it comes to
Christmas with kids the best part are the things are kids make to contribute to
the holiday spirit. I thought how fun and cost effective would it be to whip up
some homemade ornaments!! It’s really simple I promise!!
Here’s the recipe to start:
1 cup Flour
1 cup salt
1/2 cup water
That’s it!! Now you mix the
ingredients until fully combined try to mix the flour and salt together before
adding the water just to make it easier to mix I used a wooden spoon to mix
everything, then you turn out on a clean surface no need to flour the surface. Just
kneed till it’s all together it will be a little crackly along the edges but
that's fine. Now just separate the dough ball into 2 balls and then roll out
nice and flat but not where you can see through by any means, if you can pick
it up without it ripping apart its perfect, so now whip out a bunch of cookie
cutters or even a knife and get creative (I used the knife to make the puzzle
piece) don't forget to make tiny holes for hanging and then place in the oven
for 2-3 hours on 200F. They will be nice and hard but somewhat fragile so be
careful. Let them cool for about 5 minutes and then the real fun begins! Paint
them up you can have the kids help but be sure to remind them to be gentle. I
lost a few ornaments because my little ones underestimated their own strength
lol. Now for painting I went to the dollar tree and picked up a few water color
paint sets that look amazing and a few sharpies for details. Once they dry use
some thread to weave through the holes and then hang! I recommend putting on
your favorite Christmas music while engaging in this project it just kind of
sets the mood and any time I have an excuse to play Christmas music I take
it!
Santa Handprints:
Now as for the Santa’s it’s the same
process as the ornaments only difference is you need a thicker cut of the dough
just roll out about a quarter of an inch thick or even a little less and then
place the little hands and press! Takes a little bit of force and maybe a
couple of tries but just be sure to press each finger and the palm until you
have a nice imprint. Poke a hole where their isn't an imprint, use the knife to
cut out the imprint like the picture shown leaving a border around the hand
print. Put in the oven for 3 hours at 200F and then let cool again and paint
using picture as a reference I used the watercolors and a sharpie! So have fun
and Merry Christmas to you all!!
