PAINTED CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
• Mix the above 3 ingredients until combined thoroughly. I will add that the recipe calls for 4 cups of flour, but I probably had to add another 1/2 to 3/4 cups of flour to get a consistency that was pliable enough to roll with the rolling pin without being sticky.
• Roll out with rolling pin until it is about 1/4 in or less thick.
• FYI-depending on the size of the cookie cutter you may get more or less ornaments.
• Use cookie cutters to make individual ornaments.
• Place on cookie sheet, make a hole at the top for the ribbon to go through and bake for 2 hours at 200 degrees. Do not turn the ornaments over. However I do turn over once they are out of the oven so that the it dries completely.
• Once dried, paint and design as desired, place ribbon and hang on tree!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Combine the flour, salt and water; mix well and knead for 10 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured surface.
• Cut into desired shapes and make holes for hanging. Bake for 30 minutes; allow to cool.
• Decorate with poster paints or tube paints. Allow to dry and spray with clear polyurethane on both sides to preserve. Use ribbon or yarn pieces to hang.
