Author Melissa Coleman

Materials

  • 1 Cup Salt
  • 4 Cups Flour
  • 1½ Cups Warm Water
  • White Craft Paint
  • Black Sharpie or black craft paint
  • Paint Sealer optional

Instructions

  • Combine your salt and water in a bowl. Add in your flour. (the pictures below are flipped but you get the idea)
  • Knead until dough forms.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll out your dough until it’s approximately ¼″ thick.
  • Using a round cookie cutter cut out a round shape for Jack’s face.
  • Poke hole in the top with a straw. Don’t forget to do this part otherwise you won’t be able to hang your ornament.
  • Bake at 250 for 2 hours.
  • Once your ornament is baked and cooled paint it with white craft paint.
  • After the paint dries use either black craft paint or a sharpie and draw on his face.
  • This is optional but recommended to top with a sealer for a long-lasting ornament.
