This is a great recipe for making non edible Christmas ornaments. I just made these with my kids and the recipe works great. You will enjoy making these with your loved ones, I did!! Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup salt |
1 1/2 cups hot water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2. 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.
3. Roll out with rolling pin until it is about 1/4 in or less thick.
4. FYI-depending on the size of the cookie cutter you may get more or less ornaments.
5. Use cookie cutters to make individual ornaments.
6. 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.
7. Once dried, paint and design as desired, place ribbon and hang on tree!
