DAY 27 is brought to you by, the lovely Jess of IROCKSOWHAT: I have been a salt dough makin’ fool! There is nothing more festive for me than baking these special ornaments, knowing that it’ll add a handmade touch to my tree (or better yet, a friend or family member’s tree)!
Mix together the ingredients and knead for a few minutes until you’re working with dough. Use a rolling pin and roll out your dough, cut out your ornaments with cookie cutters (or use a cup rim in my case), punch a hole in your ornament with a straw or pencil and bake at 325 degrees for an hour. Let your ornaments cool before painting and decorating. I painted mine with white paint and used a sharpie to decorate. I baked them again to seal the paint and ink (at 325 degrees for about 30 minutes), it’s not necessary but I thought it wouldn’t hurt.
These make the best gifts and are always well received. Salt dough ornaments are such a classic holiday diy project, have fun baking!

Such a cute idea, I haven't done these in years.
Love these 🙂 My mom used to make little animal ones when I was an itty-bit. They were oh-so-cheesy (think ice-skating penguins with knit caps) but nostalgia knows no cheese.
Those sound awesome!
that's hilarious! i think christmas is pretty cheesy in general, so bring on the cheese!
I totally love this! Definitely saving for a day in Dcember to make some more ornaments!
It's so fun!
awesome yelle! you should totally do it!
