Salt Dough Recipe DIY

INGREDIENTS:

2 Cups of Flour
1 Cups of Salt
Add water slowly to make texture of “Play Dough” (about 1 cup)
Preheat oven to 275

Salt dough is so much fun! There are literally 1000′s of things you can make with this dough. Great idea for saving your kids’ art work, making homemade gifts, decorations and so much more. We chose to use cookie cutters and make some fun shapes. Get creative! There are no rules.

To make the handprints roll dough out into the desired shape. (Be sure counter is floured) Flour hand and press firmly into the middle of the dough. BAM! You have a your child’s handprint forever. So cute and easy!

We used Halloween cookie cutters to make the ghost shape. We made small holes in the top so they can be hung. Place shaped dough onto a cookie sheet, giving some room for expansion.

Bake at 275 for up to 2 hours depending on the thickness of your dough shapes. The pumpkins had to bake for about 3 hours. Paint using any type of paint. We have an overabundance of nail polish, so that’s what we chose to use. I’m all for using your resources.

We put a little bit of fishing line through the small hole we made and hung them on a bush in the front of our house. Looks great! Be sure to send me your pictures! I would love to see them!!

If you have read the rest of my journey up to this point, you would know we left off shortly after having a breast MRI. The results of those images led me to need yet another mammogram followed by another ultrasound. Up until this point I had 23 appointments between all of the scans, in-person […]

Finding Multiple Breast Lumps and Needing an MRI

After the first mammogram I found myself back at the breast surgeon for the test results. Much to my surprise, there were multiple cysts found during the scan and the surgeon needed to take a closer look. Once the lengthly ultrasound scan was complete, he said I simply had too many cysts and he could […]

Finding the First Lump

Found a lump. Now what? Finding the first lump was a total fluke. It wasn’t because I was doing the heroic thing of performing a self-exam, like all women should do. Given my family history of breast cancer, you’d think this would be something I was already doing. I could come up with many excuses […]
