Homemade Handprint Ornaments Author/Source: Jimmie @ onceamonthmeals (adapted from this recipe) Ingredients: 1 cup flour 1/4 cup salt 7 tbsp water Round cookie cutter (I used a drinking glass instead) 1 drinking straw Craft paint Ribbon Directions: Preheat oven to 300°F. Mix together flour, salt, and water. Knead for 15 minutes (or use the dough hook on your stand mixer – so easy!). Roll out the dough to no more than 1/4-inch thick, then use the cookie cutter (or glass) to make rounds. Press child’s hand into dough. If you’re doing this with really little ones, you may have to go back and make deeper impressions of their hands with your fingers or a kitchen utensil–the deeper the impression, the better your ornaments will turn out! Use a straw to poke a hole in each ornament (this is where the ribbon will go later). Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden. Wait for ornaments to cool, then paint as desired and thread a ribbon through each straw hole to create ornament hangers. Freezing Directions: Not recommended for this recipe. Servings: 1 batch will yield approximately 6-8 ornaments.
