Crafting DIY Salt Dough Ornaments for the Holiday Season
There’s nothing quite like gathering loved ones around the kitchen table to create memories, laughter and little keepsakes that last for years. This season, let your Table Top Salt be the sprinkle of magic that turns everyday ingredients into DIY Christmas ornaments.
This holiday season, we show you how to make salt dough ornaments for some wholesome time with your family, so you can treasure these moments for life.
DIY Salt Dough Christmas Ornament Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain flour
- ½ cup Table Top Iodised Sea Salt
- ½ cup water
Equipment:
- Large mixing bowl
- Spoon
- Rolling pin
- Baking tray
- Cookie cutters or your hands
- Straw for making holes
- Paints, glitter, ribbons for decorating
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F).
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
- Gradually add water and keep stirring the mixture until it comes together as a dough. If it feels sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Knead the dough gently for a few minutes until it’s soft and pliable.
- Roll out the dough to about 6 mm (¼ inch) thickness.
- Cut out your festive shapes using cookie cutters or shape them by hand (stars, hearts or even little snowmen!).
- Place your shapes on a lined baking tray. Then, use a straw to punch a hole at the top of each shape for hanging.
- Bake for 2-3 hours. Turn the shapes around on the baking tray halfway through the process so that both sides are completely dry and firm.
- Let them cool completely before decorating. You can paint them or add glitter, ribbons and other decorative tidbits.
Fill the holidays with love as you shape and paint each ornament, sprinkling a little extra Christmas magic and laughter with your dear ones. Hang these ornaments proudly around the house or share them as lovely heartfelt gifts to your dear ones. Because the best part isn’t just what you create, but the time spent together (with a gentle pinch of Table Top Iodised Sea Salt) that makes everything just right.
Happy holidays and happy crafting with your family!
