  2. Knead for 10 minutes until the dough feels smooth.
  3. Cut out a range of shapes using cutters.
  4. Bake for 1.5-2hrs in the oven at 100 degrees or until they have dried out.
  5. Paint and add glitter (if you dare!)

Notes

A great way to make a personalised christmas gift for the grandparents.

  • We used to make this when we were kids. Also nice to make Christmas tree decorations from salt dough. It stays longer good when you cover it with a bit varnish after painting.
