HOW TO PRESERVE SALT DOUGH ORNAMENTS
These salt dough ornaments are made from a mixture of flour and salt that creates a type of modeling clay, that can be baked or air-dried and then saved. Why is there salt in the dough? Salt is a great preservative, and it adds additional texture to your projects. You’ll notice the dough is heavier too! How long will salt dough ornaments last? They should last for many years. Store them in a dry, airtight container, away from heat, light or moisture and you will be able to enjoy these homemade ornaments year after year.SALT DOUGH RECIPE

Salt dough can be painted either when it’s wet or dry. What color will you make your Christmas ornaments? We painted our stars with silver and gold acrylic paint. Acrylic paint is the best kind of paint to use on salt dough ornaments. Once the paint is dry, spray with polyurethane spray, spray sealer or Modge Podge for preservation and to give the salt dough ornaments a shiny finish. FUN VARIATION: Why not make your own glitter paint for a fun sparkly look! Mix together a good amount of your favorite glitter with clear glue or Modge Podge until you have a thick consistency. Then paste your dough ornaments in glitter paint!MORE FUN CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES
