Salt Dough Easter Egg Ornaments

This Grandma Is Fun
Course Craft

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Rolling pin
  • Egg shape cookie cutter
  • Straw
  • Parchment paper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Mix first three ingredients together and knead until a dough forms.
  • With rolling pin, roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick. Some flour sprinkled on the counter might be needed to avoid sticking.
  • Take your egg shape cookie cutter and cut out your shapes from the dough.
  • Next, use the straw to make holes at the top of the oval.
  • Place eggs on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 250 for 2 hours. Watch to make sure they don't overcook and crack.
  • Items needed for painting:
  • Acrylic paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Foam brushes
  • Clear coat sealer (not pictured)
  • Twine
  • Paint pens (optional)
  • After the eggs are completely cooled, now is the creative part! Take your acrylic paint and paint away! The foam brushes are better to paint the whole egg with and the smaller brushes will be better for the details.
  • When the paint has completely dried, spray with a coat of clear sealer. After drying completely, attach some twine and you are ready to go!
