We made these several years ago and we still hang them on the tree every year. They hold up really well and are super cute.
Recipe:
2 cups flour, plus more for surface
1 cup salt
1 cup warm water
1. Combine flour and salt. Slowly mix in water. Knead for 7-10 minutes on a floured surface. Roll out to 3/8-inch thickness. Freeze for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Use cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Insert screw eyes at top of shapes (I just poked holes to tie a string through.) Freeze for 30 minutes. Bake for 4-6 hours. Let cool.
3. Mix craft glue and craft paint to desired color. Outline shape with colored glue and then "flood," or fill in, the surface with colored glue. (For most of mine I just used a paint brush and painted a thick coat on.) For a solid glitter effect, coat paint/glue immediately with glitter. For a layered look, let first coat of glue dry overnight, then apply a second color for details, adding tinsel or glitter as desired. Use wire or hooks to hang.
