Priceless?

Remember those old MasterCard ads with the priceless punch line?  That's what came to mind as I made Christmas ornaments of the boys' hand and footprints over the weekend.

Salt $0.44
Flour $1.78
Food coloring ?  Had it laying around

Baby's' first Christmas ornaments  PRICELESS 

Cheesy, right?!  But, I think these turned out so cute and are way better than anything I could have bought for  a lot more money.

Mixing some red food coloring into half the dough.

Dough is salt dough...1 cup flour, 1 cup salt, and less than 1 cup water.  Mix salt and flour, then gradually add the water and knead until the dough is stretchy and not sticky at all.  Then add food coloring or paint after it dries.  Bake in 100F oven to dry out...or air dry.

Blue for Ben

Daddy wrangling the boys while I make the dough, Jack on left

Go Daddy!  Ben on left

Feet were a lot easier than hands...they just wanted to grab the dough:).  Used a straw to make holes...once dry I will put a string or ribbon through so I can use the as ornaments!

Finished!
