Salt Dough Ornament Making

Environment Indoor / Outdoor

Mix flour, salt, and water into a simple dough, shape it into ornaments or figures, bake until hardened, then paint your creations — a satisfying kitchen craft that turns pantry staples into lasting keepsakes.

The Essentials

  • Mix equal parts flour and salt with half a part water, kneading until smooth and not sticky
  • Roll the dough to an even thickness so pieces bake and dry at the same rate
  • Make a hole with a straw before baking if you plan to hang the ornament later
  • Bake at a low temperature for a long time rather than high heat, to prevent cracking or puffing up
  • Let ornaments cool completely before painting, and seal with varnish once dry to protect from moisture
