DOUGH ORNAMENTS
4 c. flour
1 c. salt
1 1/2 c. water
NEED: Ornament hangers, acrylic paints, brushes (#3 or smaller), clear polyurethane (available in small cans at hardware stores). Mix flour, salt, and water together well. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Dough is now ready to mold. Cut shapes out of rolled dough or intertwine strips to make wreaths. Insert an ornament into each shape. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until golden brown and solid. Remove from pan and place on rack to cool. Paint desired colors. When dry, coat entire piece with polyurethane. This seals the ornament and prevents it from deteriorating so that it will last for years to come.
