I kept seeing this recipe and instructions for Father Christmas handprint salt dough decorations appearing on my timeline .
I nought I would give it a go , as we had all the things needed in the cupboard . We made some star salt dough decorations last year aswell . Although little miss wasn't as involved last year .
So off we set making them !
We had great fun , little miss loved pouring and mixing ! I found it difficulty to apply the right amount of pressure to get the handprint . As didn't wana hurt little miss and out her off !
We also made some star decorations with the left over dough .
They were only on the oven an hour , I think I must have had it too hot as they went brown . But we are going to try painting them anyways . Then try another batch another day :-).
Look out for blog post two , which will include the painting of our decorations !
What a lovely idea! Something to treasure for years to come,

ReplyDeleteWe did this last year, but with a hand print (his hand is too big now, boo hoo :() and we didn't paint them - they looked great. Am looking forward to seeing how these ones are decorated :) xx
