Anyone who can make a quick and easy salt dough and has cookie cutters can easily make these salt dough ornaments. I found this on photo on Facebook and was intrigued. The coloring of the ornaments is like a wash rather than a dense painting. I think the wash effect makes them look more old school and authentic. I suspect that if I glaze them with a matte glaze they would be OK hanging outside on a door wreath or yard tree, too.
My cake decorating tools would adapt well to making the designs on the cut outs. I think the next snow day we have I will mix up a batch of salt dough and give these a try. Its too late for this year’s tree, but I can make some every once in a while and build up a nice collection over this next year for my tree next Christmas.
