I'm still learning how to manage my time at home. This new hair styling job takes up way more time than I'd like and my housework will often fall to the way side. Sometimes I simply choose to play with my kids over keeping a clean kitchen. Here's one of those days!
I found this super easy recipe for salt dough and as soon as I realized we had all the ingredients, it instantly rose to the top of my to-do list.
1 cup salt
2 cups flour
1 cup water
I kneaded it for about 7 min. then we rolled it out, used cookie cutters, and I poked a hole in the top with a straw. Easy peasy.
We had to bake them for around 2 hours at 250. When they cooled we used acrylic paint, white glue and glitter to decorate. I did all the writing with a black Sharpie. It worked like a charm and was much easier than a brush.
The kids had a blast! (And I obviously enjoyed our project as well!)
I love it! What a fun project, and they look great too. 2011 has been a year of learning to manage time differently....I plan on having it all figured out by next Christmas (arrogance, confidence or denial....don't know which one I suffer from) so maybe we can do this together then. Love ya, Sis!
ReplyDeleteLove the Sharpie idea! :)
