Carrie @ My Favorite Finds says
I’m SOOOO glad I didn’t make salt dough ornaments this weekend, like I was going to. Thanks sooo much for sharing your mess ups. I probably would’ve just dumped the water in, too. Thanks! This will be my Thanksgiving break project….my list is getting longer!
Carrie says
Beautiful!! I was thinking of doing some of these with Hazel or maybe the applesauce cinnamon ones I have seen on pinterest. Yours look great!!

You crack me up! I LOVE that picture of LC, the look of “Really” is too funny. I love how these turned out, I need to make something like this my kids soon:)
Terry says
Well I guess you are the resident expert now on these little babies. Fortunately they turned out so nice in the end. It would have been heartbreaking to go through all of that without a nice end result. Love the rosemary – good thinking for staging your shot, lol.
Jamie says
VERY cute! I just saw another post about these kind of adorbz ornaments. Maybe I should try them…

Amy, thank you for sharing them at Crafty Moms Share. Yours came out much nicer than ours, but I am happy with what Hazel did and they are now on the tree.
Lori @ La-La's Home Daycare says
Those came out great! Love the idea of painting then and using the stamps!
Thanks for sharing,

Laura @Art For Little Hands says
Despite the problems these came out super cute. I made salt dough stuff the other day too and we had read you can dry them by leaving them out overnight. Ours just fell apart so I guess we did something wrong too! I love your paint work on all of them, but especially the featured penguin. Thanks for sharing on Monday Madness.

ELIZABETH O'BRIEN says
Thank you for the insight into the real salt dough adventures. This will be my first year making them and I couldnt get over the fact is just seemed too easy! Glad to know nothing goes as planned but it all turns out great in the end. Thank you and merry Christmas
Anna says
What happens if they get wet?
dancers4life says
Hopefully a little water wouldn’t hurt them because they’re protected by the sealant. I can’t say what would happen if they got totally soaked though.
D. Celio says
Can you please help? A older dough ornament has gotten soft. Any way to save it??? It’s from the 80’s! Has beads on it and maybe thin coat of sealant. Thank you!
dancers4life says
Hmm…I’m not sure, I’ve never had one go soft on me. Our problem has been that any that had air bubbles in them are kind of fragile and can break after years of use.
Crystal young says
I’m going to make some salt dough ortaments.But I don’t know what kind of sealer do I need.Please help
Thanks
dancers4life says
Any kind of clear acrylic sealer should work!
Mariel Button says
This was a super cute tutorial visually and especially tutorially. Your son is so very handsome and seems like a beautiful soul like his Mama. Thank you for sharing this with us!
dancers4life says
Aww, thanks so much!
Beryl cooper says
Been making salt dough with the grandchildren and we make pom-poms we tie one Pom Pom to sting or ribbon leave a space then add slat dough stars balls bells hats gingerbread men etc to the sting /ribbon keep going as long as you want then hung up on a fireplace /wall in fact any where you like it looks great for Christmas xxx
dancers4life says
Great idea! So festive!
Sara Elizabeth McPhail says
How many ornaments did you get from the recipe??
dancers4life says
It’s actually been years since we made these, but from what I remember we got quite a few! The smaller cookie cutters you use, the more ornaments you’ll get!
Billie Van Guilder says
Making 2 types of clay dough. One with baking soda, cornstarch and water. The other flour, salt, paint and water. Gotta say the cornstarch ones are white and dough is much silkier.
dancers4life says
Great tip!
