Lockdown, making memories!!
Salt dough
Ingredients for this size:
500grams of plain flour
250grams salt
250 millilitres of water (add slightly more water if necessary)
Bake in oven on lowest heat for 3 hours or until rock hard (this one took about 4 hours)
Instructions:
▶️Mix the flour and salt then add the water
▶️Mix into a dough
▶️Roll out onto flat surface into a shape about 1-1.5cm thick (remember to sprinkle some flour down to prevent sticking)
▶️Place on a baking tray
▶️Make hand imprints (as deep/clear as possible)
▶️place in the oven on the -lowest heat possible- and leave for 3-4 hours or until completely solid top and bottom. (Or you can leave to air dry for a couple of days in a cool dry place- this is the best option if you only have self raising flour)
▶️Paint with your choice of paints/colours (Or you could use acrylic paints)
▶️Seal with any kind of varnish or sealer to preserve it. Varnish, modpodge, PVA and water mix
Make sure the bottom is rock hard before taking it out the oven 😃
