IMPORTANT NOTE: This recipe for salt dough makes a lot of ornaments. If you only plan on making a few, cut this recipe into fourths or in half, or you can make the whole batch and store the leftovers in a zipper lock plastic storage bag.

Getting Ready

Cover table with newspaper, a plastic tablecloth or even an old shower curtain.
