Christmas decorations from salt dough

I invited my friend Pia to try out Salt dough, and she had her little dog Pepe with her as well.
We did different kind of shape of "cookies" from dough, to decorate, and use them for Christmas decorations!
We have some very fun plans to paint them, and use them as a little gifts and surprises for friends.

How to do Salt dough?

2 cups of normal wheat flower
2 cups of salt (fine)
1 cup of water

just mix everything together, work on dough a little to get air bubbles out, as you don´t want your "items" to be too puffed.  Bake them with low temperature before they start looking dry, you can also try them.. we used little higher temperature, 120c was fine and depending on thickness of your cookies it will take 30-45min to dry them. don´t forget them in to the oven.


Before starting, cooks need to have something to eat and drink!

When dough was done, I rolled it as long as it was thin enough
Pia was cutting cookies

we had lot of different shapes, not very christmassy thoug

This is how thin they should be.. or thinner
