INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups plain flour

  • 1 cup salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix the flour, salt, spices and the orange essential oil if you are using it.

  2. Then, slowly add the water until you have a workable piece of dough. You don’t want it to be gooey and sticky, so I always start with a little bit less water and add if I need more. The dough should be close to the consistency of play-dough.

  3. Roll out the dough and cut out the desired shape that you want for your ornaments. If you are hanging the ornaments, you will need to use a skewer, straw or something similar to create the hole for your string.

  4. Place the ornaments on a baking sheet and put in the oven at the lowest temperature possible. My oven was set to 170 degrees.

  5. Bake the scented salt dough ornaments for 1 hour, then, flip them over and bake another hour.

  6. Lastly, remove them from the oven and allow to cool. Then, be creative because you can leave them plain, paint them, create a garland, tie them on packages or simply use as ornaments.


HOW LONG DO THE ORNAMENTS LAST?

Homemade salt dough ornaments can last a very long time. Salt is a preservative that will ensure that your ornaments don’t get moldy.

At the end of the Christmas season, simply wrap them up, very carefully in some tissue paper or newspaper. Place them in a storage location where they will be safe from getting smashed or destroyed. One of the safest ways to store ornaments is in a box designed for ornaments.
