Homemade Clay hand print..

   I love making homemade clay. We use this recipe for hand prints and many holiday ornaments. This time we made the hand prints for all 3 boys. Very simple and easy to make.


            RECIPE

          4 cups flour
          1 cup salt
          1 1/2 cups water

  Combine all ingredients and knead for a good 10 - 15 minutes


  Roll the dough out and get your cookie cutters or whatever else you can find for cutting.


  If you plan to make ornaments, take a straw to  make a small hole so you can hang it or put a ribbon. Next prick with a toothpick all around so you don't get air bubbles.

Before you bake it, make sure you place it on a non stick baking pan or Pam spray or cookie sheet.   Bake at 300 F for about 20 minutes until golden.

 Last paint with acrylic paint.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
