Salt Dough Christmas Ornaments

Well, we are finally (somewhat) settled in to our new house. The tree is up, lit, and decorated. All that we needed was a handmade ornament by our little one! Yesterday, I used the recipe I had pinned from Home Made Simple to make salt dough. I got Bug all ready to press his hands in the dough. Here's the funny thing about 10-month-olds: while they want to put their hands on everything, they do not necessarily want you to put their hands on anything. After some mild baby-wrangling, I managed to get several decent hand impressions. Then I punched a small hole in the top of the ornaments, and baked them for three hours. After Bug went to bed and the ornaments were dry, I painted them. After they were dry, I added to cute ribbon. Ta-da! Ornament for the tree!
