HOMEMADE H O L I DAY SALT DOUGH, OR DOUGH ART AS WE REFER TO IT IN OUR FAMILY, IS A SIMPLE YET BEAUTIFUL WAY TO ADORN SPACES AROUND THE HOLIDAYS. Making salt dough ornaments is a holiday tradition that we have been doing since I was a kid in the ’80s but the process has been around even longer than that! The use of salt dough is as old as dirt, or I guess I should say as old as clay. Even so, the salt dough has made a comeback in recent years and for good reason- it only requires 3 ingredients, and the festive end product will last for years to come. We still pull out the salt dough ornaments I made as a kid and place them on our tree each year. I love those old traditions can live throughout the decades as we find ways to reinvent them with current-day trends. That is exactly what I did here with these lovely Snowflake Salt Dough Ornaments. I hope you follow along to make some yourself this holiday season.
