CHRISTMAS SALT DOUGH - THIS WEEKS OBSESSION

Well as have said before I have a love for salt dough

This is the first batch that Liam and I made last week on a snow day....

 We used cookie cutters and some of my stamps, and a set of letter stamp Liam's had for years.



Last year I used acrylic paints to dye the dough (to messy), also we painted some after baking.

This year I have used food colouring and love the result,

mix it in the water before adding to salt and flour,use warm water as it dissolves the salt and

 I will take some more photo's as you can't see the details.

We are having a friend around this weekend for another sitting.

Salt dough recipe:
(cup = any tea /coffee cup you have as long as you use the same size for flour, salt and water)

2 cups of plain flour

1 cup of salt

1 cup of warm water (plus food colouring)

This makes lots!!!
but you can half the quantities if you want to make more than one colour.
