I saw these salt dough snowflake ornaments from Lorajean’s Magazine and fell in love! Not having any glitter or a snowflake cookie cutter and not wanting to purchase anything for this project, I decided to make stars and gingerbread men instead.
I used her recipe found here. She adds food coloring and spices to the dough to make it look like real cookies. Genius…if you ask me. I love them!
They are so sweet, I could almost eat them.
Whoops…I guess I already did!
Ha ha. 😉 So I am kidding of course. I took a straw and took “bite” marks out of his head. Kind of like this felt version from Anna from Noodlehead.
This would be a fun one to do with kids. I tried making these with mine but one quit after making just one ornament and the other quit when his hands got too messy helping to make the dough. Sigh. I had fun though!
I LOVE these!!!!! I am so happy that you really are doing Christmas stuff still! I made gingerbread houses with my kids just yesterday! I was happy to wait because we got to buy discounted Christmas candy! Thanks a bunch for linking to me. 🙂
THis makes me so happy! I really wanted to make these this year but didn't know how! It's already on the list for next Christmas!
oh, I love that you have your oranges on your tree. I was just in California at my in-laws and she had dried oranges here and there as well! I thought of you!
these remind me of ornaments from growing up, I love them. I am posting a link to this on my blog, so I can remember to make them next Christmas. Thanks!
My daughter & I are going to make these!! Thanks for showing us how :):)
