Christmas is coming so we have been busy in the Homeroom making Salt Dough Decorations for the tree. It is a bit messy but great fun and very cheap!
To make the salt dough you will need:
2 cups of plain flour
1 cup of salt
1 cup of water
Mix it all together until you have a firm dough. If it’s too sticky add a bit of flour and if it’s too dry and cracking add a tiny bit more water.
Then for the fun bit-knead the dough for a few minutes until it is really smooth.
We used cookie cutters to make our decorations-don’t forget to put a hole in the top so you can hang it on your tree.
Bake on the lowest setting your oven has for a few hours, or overnight, until dry and firm.
When they are cold the decorations can be painted and decorated. We used acrylic paint and of course glitter
We had great fun making these beautiful original decorations and hope you do too!
*I love making salt dough models and have just discovered it can be microwaved!! We haven’t tried it in the homeroom yet but we will be doing very soon as it only takes about 2 minutes! Great news eh












thats good well done everyone:D
