1 c. salt
4 c. flour
1 1/4 c. water

Mix ingredients. Roll or press out to 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick. Use cookie cutters or use your imagination to shape ornaments; poke a hole in top for a string. Pick with a toothpick to prevent uneven rising and bake at 300 degrees for 2 to 3 hours or until no longer soft. Paint with tempera or poster paints. Varnish for a high gloss.
