A few more Salt Dough Christmas Decorations

December 5, 2011

These a just a few more salt dough decorations we have made. Feel free to make them yourself if you are stuck for ideas. Remember to cover each piece in varnish at least four times. On the last varnish coating we added the glitter while the varnish was still wet.

Hope you like them.

Ready for the oven

Baked and ready to paint.

Some painted.

All we did with these was to cut the rounds first. Then made the top pieces and placed them on top of the rounds. I did, however, brush the underside of the top pieces with a damp paint brush before placing them on the rounds, just to give them the extra staying power. Once baked they were firmly in place.

All of our salt dough decorations are on the Christmas tree now. How many can you spot?
