    been a busy be over the weekend and decided to have a go at some salt dough decorations for my wish tree when my cousin mentioned making one with her name on for her so thought I would share the idea, My tree decs are currently in the oven but heres a few pics of some off the net to give you an idea of what i mean xx

    recipe is as follows:

    2 cups of plain flour
    1 cup of salt
    1 cup of water

    make you shapes about 0.5cm thick and bake at 90c for about 6 hours, you can glaze them or leave them as they are, use food colouring in them, ink stampers etc xxx

    can they be painted normally? would they work as key rings or would they break?

    i saw this sort of idea the other day and thought what a fab idea. have their names on the front then 'thank you' written on the back.
    with our theme being spring i could paint them different colours with matching ribbon. like you say.....make loads for next to nothing.

    Velcro I painted the heart ones not sure why it wont let me load them hun will try again, Not sure if they would work as keyrings hun suppose it would depend how thick they were and also if you sealed them with a laquer or something xx

    Rachel I would of used more cookie cutters but only had a heart or winnie the pooh lol so if you do hun try getting a hold of some cheap cutters too xx

    Gillian I think they would hun you could make them in a surf board shape or palm tree I think the possibilitys are endless with these xx

    Kirsty I have a big bag of bero plain flour I think I paid about £1.50 for it but its a 2kg bag so could probably buy it cheaper for none brand and I still have loads left too so gonna make some more over the weekend xx

    Thank you Emma xx

    Sarah the one pictured is paint a very light pink with white hun but soo easy to do xx

    Rachel it says 90c hun for 6 hours but they took less around 3 1/2 hours but think it will depend on thickness just check them to make sure they dont turn brown hun, mine were about 0.5cm thick xx

    Kayleigh do you remember the billie stampers for ink pads? just those kind of stamps hun there like a wooden block with the rubber on the bottom xx

    Glad you like them Amy hun :) xx

    They are great deffo going to try them. Do you out the glitter and rhinestones etch on after baking or before? And what have you coloured them with? Sorry if these are stupid questions I'm not the most creative person in the world!

    I tried adding glitter when I made the dough and you could see it sparkling slightly but if your wanting to paint I would add the glitter afterwards, I painted them with kids paints hun and they covered fine but if you want to gloss them aswell you will need to do it with a clear spray x
