Best way to keep them ...I made these 30+ years ago. Best way to keep them from falling apart is to paint them with acrylics or tempera paints and then when they are dry, spray them with clear gloss varnish. Make sure you make your hole for the ribbon/ornament holder far enough down so the ornament doesn't break when you go to hang it. And don't make them too big! After they are baked, don't even think of touching them for a few days so they are solid. I use a garlic press to make Santa beards, horse tails and manes, and angel hair. Use your imagination, not just cookie cutters! One more thing...knead the dough until you don't feel grainy-ness from the salt anymore. It should feel silky. Have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-31057917324621840872013-11-07T18:38:29.806-08:002013-11-07T18:38:29.806-08:00I loved this blog!

I've rolled out salt dough almost every day for the past 15 years (it's my job) and due to differences in the flour, where it was milled, etc., it can turn out slightly different each time. I also had trouble with cracking in the oven so mine are always air dried and I never use cornstarch. <br />Happy ornament making!<br />Kathy @ cookiedoughcreations.etsy.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-40355370947711076582013-01-17T03:07:14.864-08:002013-01-17T03:07:14.864-08:00I am going to make this salt dough today.

It will then come together quickly about 5 to 8 minutes. It is soooo silky smooth and bright white, I made it years ago as a kid, to make beads. I made it last week to make ornaments and they have all cracked during the air drying process! So...even if you had made the recipe correctly it may have still failed.<br /><br />I'm glad you had much better luck with the salt dough!<br /><br />Deesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16869728669092359556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-90665895136375571442013-01-10T16:23:39.682-08:002013-01-10T16:23:39.682-08:00Wow!!
