My sister and I used to make ornaments with Christmas craft salt dough when we were in grade school. I think my mom kept the Christmas tree ornaments until just a couple of years ago, when my father and her moved out of our childhood home.

Here’s what you’ll need for the craft dough, and remember you can and should adjust accordingly. If you have more kids, or bigger projects make a bigger batch – and the opposite applies for less kids and smaller projects. Also, don’t forget that you can add food coloring as needed:

Christmas Craft Dough

2 cups salt
2 cups flour
1 cup water (a little less if you want it firmer)

Mix flour, salt, and water to make a stiff mixture.
Knead mixture for about ten minutes to dissolve salt.
Clay is ready to shape.
