Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Whisk together flour and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined. Gradually stir in water, about 1/2 cup at a time, until a dough forms. When it gets too difficult to stir with a spoon, use your hands to mix it.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until hard, about 1 hour, switching racks halfway through.
Step 3
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Decorate as desired with acrylic paint and craft varnish to preserve. Thread a string through each hole.
Step 4
Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead until soft and pliable.
Step 5
Roll out to a thickness of 1/8 inch; cut desired shapes with cookie cutters.
Step 6
Transfer dough shapes to ungreased cookie sheets; use a toothpick to make a hole in each ornament for hanging.
Step 7
Gather all your ingredients, and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
