Make it! Salt Dough Santa Hand Ornament

November 25, 2013 By Courtney

This ornament was SUPER easy to make, and my 3-year-old and I had a ton of fun doing it. We make homemade play dough sometimes, so this is the same recipe I use for that. Except this one I didn’t color with food coloring.

A couple of tips that will help make this even easier.

1. I bought acrylic paint markers at Michael’s. They help you be precise and are not messy!
2. I used a chopstick to poke the hole.
3. I used a sealer with a gloss finish in a spray can. That was also found a Michael’s.

This easy Christmas craft is suitable for kids of all ages. Just keep in mind, the bigger the hand, the heavier the ornament!

Enjoy!

    I LOVE these… and I can’t wait to make Addie do this until she’s WAY too old but I cry at the thought of her not. Does that make sense?
    haha
    GREAT idea <3
