Salt Dough Recipe + how to.

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

Start by mixing your flour and salt... Add water slowly and mix... When it is thicker and more pliable lay out on a table and roll out the dough. Flour underneath helps so it doesn't stick to your surface. You can cut out the shapes with cookie cutters.

Don't forget to use a toothpick (or something similar to make a hole to hang them with). I think it helps to make them thinner, because our thick ones were the ones that cracked. Heat your oven to 325 and bake for about an hour. Or 100 and bake for 3 hours. 

Then you can paint them after they have cooled. Pretty inexpensive, and easy.
