2. On a floured surface, roll dough out about 1/4 inch thick with a rolling pin. (Sprinkle a little flour on the rolling pin.)

3. Cut dough with cookie cutters or create your own shapes. (Dip cutters in a little flour before cutting.)

4. When finished place dough on cookie sheets. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.

5. Cool and decorate with paint.

If you want to be able to hang the shape, use a round wooden toothpick to make a hole near the top of the shape before baking.

Unused dough can be stored in a plastic bag or covered container in the refrigerator.
