Salt clay ornaments

For todays ornaments I actually cut out and baked the ornaments yesterday so I could paint them today. To make salt clay its really very simple.

1 cup of salt
4 cups of all purpose flour
1 & 1/2 cups of water

Knead dough till dough is firm enough to roll out (think cut cookie dough only thicker).  Cut out ornaments and then bake in the oven till  they are fully cooked.

I cooked my ornaments at 200 degrees (f) for about 2 and a half to three hours. Maybe longer (I didn't really  watch the clock.

It was a fun project. Done of the ornaments I tried to texture. Some turned out great, some  just okay. I thought the snowmen were great especially as I used a Frankensteins head cookie cutter to make them.

Anyway, big fun.
