Salt Dough Ornaments

When I saw these adorable Salt Dough Ornaments over at Simple Suburbia, I knew I had to do them with Sadie! Check out her blog for the directions.  I thought Sadie would not want anything to do with them, but she actually loved imprinting her hand. We also made a fun candy cane and star.

After they baked for 3 hours, I let them cool overnight. The next day, I painted the Santa face and Sadie got to use a sponge brush to paint the star and candy cane. I got out yellow for the star and red for the candy not even thinking what they would look like when she mixed the two. But I love them and Sadie had such fun painting, she was actually upset when it was over!

Next I picked up some red ribbon at the store, strung them up, and we have our first homemade ornaments!
