DIY Salt Dough Ornaments: Christmas Tree Footprints & Santa Handprints

DIY Salt Dough Ornaments: Christmas Tree Footprints & Santa Handprints

If you happen to’re searching for a easy, enjoyable Christmas craft, these DIY salt dough handprint ornaments are all the time a favourite.

My daughter Courtney made Santa handprint ornaments final 12 months for her child boy Forrest’s first Christmas, and once more this 12 months with Christmas tree footprints, too. Aren’t they cute?

They’re simple to make, use fundamental pantry substances, and switch into particular keepsakes you’ll need to hold on the tree each Christmas. They make an excellent grandparent reward, too!

Right here’s how we made them:

4 cups flour

1 cup desk salt

1.5 cups heat water

Combine all of it collectively, roll it out on a floured floor to about 1/4 thickness, stamp fingers, minimize them out, punch a gap for an decoration (we used a steel straw!), bake at 200-250 for 2-4 hours. (It ought to really feel utterly arduous and dry, not cool or damp inside)

Paint (acrylic paint, watch for every layer to dry, use a toothpick for small particulars and a Sharpie for the Santa eyes).

Seal with a spray sealer like this or Mod Podge. Add baker’s twine or ribbon to hold on the tree!

Merry Christmas!
