Christmas is the time of year when we spend time with friends and family to make memories that will last a lifetime. What better way to do that then to create holiday ornaments! Here’s a super simple and easy way to make homemade Christmas ornaments. They’re very easy to personalize, so they can match your style and home!

What You Need

1 cup of flour

1 cup of salt

½ cup of water

Ribbon or string

Cookies cutters/paint (anything you want to decorate with)

First, you will need to preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Then, simply combine all three ingredients into a bowl and mix. Once the dough is mixed, roll out the dough evenly and cut it into the shapes. You can simply use cookie cutters to make cute Christmas shapes, or you can cut out a circle with a cup or bowl and use a pet’s footprint as the decoration. This would also work well with hand prints or fingerprints. Next, you will need to make a small hole at the top. This is where you will tie it with ribbon or string to hang on a Christmas tree. Once all your shapes have been cut out and imprinted, bake them for about two hours. It is recommended that you flip the ornaments halfway through baking for the best results. Once they are done baking and cooled, you can start decorating! There are no rules when it comes to decorating your ornaments, so just have fun with it! You can be as creative and festive as your heart desires. Once happy with the decoration, tie them with string and hang them on your tree for everyone to see! If desired, put the date on the back of the ornament to remember when the ornaments where made in the coming years!

Remember, even though they may look delicious, these ornaments are not to eat! They are for decoration purposes only!
