Glittered Salt dough-Inexpensive Fall decorating.

One thing I have done in the past and do every year is make salt dough ornaments. I use a recipe I find on line...type it in to Google and 1 million web sites pop up...it is that popular. 

********************************************

I use fall cookie cutters, my favorite is miniature leaves.

I add a little cinnamon to my salt dough recipe...just because I like the smell while it is slowly baking.

The salt dough ornaments bake for a few hours at 200 degrees till they are completely dry.

Now comes the fun part!  You take a paint brush, and brush them with glue...sprinkle them with glitter!

I use Martha Stewart's glitter, it is real fine glitter and it comes in a variety of fall colors.

I have made ornaments to use as bowl fillers, put them in glass jars with a small candle on top...etc.

I hope you will try this! It is fun and very inexpensive and a good way to add to your Fall/Halloween decorations.

I store mine when I'm done with the season in a freezer ziploc bag. And I've done that for 4 years and they have not deteriorated at all!

 I made these for Halloween and added food coloring from Michael's to the dough and then baked them. I didn't add any glitter or do anything else to them.

Love love love the little mini pumpkins,

and black cats! So cute. 

One last thing, I find old wooden salad bowls or plates at the thrift store, spray paint them black and use them as candle holders for fall/Halloween decorating.

Blessings,
