Easy DIY Salt Dough Ornaments: Santa Handprint
Looking for a simple craft to make with kids this year? My daughter Courtney made these adorable Santa handprint ornaments with her baby boy. Such a fun craft to remember his first Christmas. These would make a special gift for grandparents, too!
They are so easy to make, here’s how:
4 cups flour
1 cup table salt
1.5 cups warm water
Mix it all together, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 thickness, stamp hands, cut them out, punch a hole for an ornament (we used a metal straw!), bake at 200-250 for 2-4 hours. (It should feel completely hard and dry, not cool or damp inside)
Paint (acrylic paint, wait for each layer to dry, use a toothpick for small details and a Sharpie for the eyes).
Seal with a spray sealer like this or Mod Podge. Add baker’s twine or ribbon to hang on the tree!
Merry Christmas season!
