Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1.5 cups water
1 cup salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for baking the salt dough ornaments.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, and salt. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, then knead for about 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth.
Move the dough to a lightly floured surface. Continue kneading until it's soft and pliable, adding a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of approximately ⅛-inch. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired ornament shapes.
Carefully place the cut shapes onto ungreased baking sheets. Use a toothpick or skewer to create a small hole in each ornament for hanging.
Bake in the preheated oven until the ornaments are firm and dry, usually around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on their size and thickness. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before you start decorating.
