homemade cookie ornaments

I've been wanting to make some sugar cookie looking ornaments for the past few years.  Lily's old enough now that I thought I should try. 

I found a baking soda play dough recipe that I really like.  It didn't smell good cooking and cooling, but I liked the end result. 

Lily rolled out the dough, cut it, and put it on the pan all by herself. 

And I didn't even care that she was making a mess.

They took about 3 days to dry and 4 days to paint, (we came back to work on them every other day).

  4. I usually do the salt ceramic dough recipe. I never thought about putting the colour in like you did! What a great tip! Thanks!
