Homemade Play-dough Ornaments

Ingredients:

• 4 cups plain flour
• 1 cup cooking salt
• 1½ cups warm water
• additional flour for the work surface

Directions:

1. Preheat a conventional oven to 300 F or 250 F for convection oven. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and 1 cup of warm water with a spoon. Gradually add the remaining water as required until you have a soft and pliable dough.
3. Roll out dough on a floured work surface until it is around 1/4 of an inch thick.
4. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters. Use a straw to poke holes for the ties.
5. Bake in the oven for around 1 hour or until firm. If ornaments puff up a bit, lower your temperature. Turn over after 30 minutes to dry evenly.
6. Paint and varnish each shape and tie string through the holes to hang.
