BAKED DOUGH ORNAMENTS 
4 c. all purpose flour
1 c. salt
1 1/2 c. water
Tempera or acrylic paint
String or ribbon
Clear acrylic or varnish

Do not eat the ornament.

Mix all ingredients in large bowl with your hands. Roll into a smooth ball. Roll dough 1/4" thick with rolling pin on waxed paper. If sticky, sprinkle more flour on wax paper. If sticky, sprinkle more flour on wax paper, cut out shapes with cookie cutters or table knife. Use a pencil to make a hole for a string to go through. Bake 4 to 5 minutes in microwave on high. Do one at a time. The time needed and the size/thickness can be changed for different projects. When cooled they can be painted with tempera/acrylic paint. Then spray with clear acrylic paint (or varnish) to seal out moisture. Store in cool, dry place when not being used.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

Baked Dough Ornaments

 Me (Utah) says:
The dough came out quite dry I had to add another cup of water. The ornaments, meh, nothing I would keep but the kids had fun and I will do this activity again. I would look for a better recipe and one that bakes them in the oven so they come out evenly cooked.
