Salt Dough Ornaments



Making Salt Dough Ornaments

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup table salt
  • 1 ½ cups warm water

 

Tools

  • Rolling Pin
  • Embossed Rolling Pin
  • Cookie Cutters
  • Paint, Glitter, Ribbon
  • Polyurethane Spray to preserve


Instructions

Combine your flour and salt in a large bowl. Slowly add the warm water, mixing together, until it becomes too hard to stir. Then use your hands to knead the dough. Knead until soft, like the consistency of playdough.

Using a regular rolling pin, roll out half of the dough to approximately 1/8” thick. To create the embossed design, I used an embossed rolling pin, which you can find anywhere online. Simply roll the dough with the embossed pin. Use cookie cutters to cut your desired shape. I used scalloped edge hearts and circles. Use a straw end to create a hole for ribbon or twine.

Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Once cooled, you can paint them or leave them natural for a primitive look. Finish with a fine coating of Polyurethane Spray to preserve.

You can find the Measuring Cup and the Olive Wood Rolling Pin at Farmhouse Wares. (The cookie cutters and embossed rolling pin are not from the shop, but can be found online.)

Farmhouse Pantry


Heirloom Popping Corn seasoned with West Virginia hand-harvested salt will soon be your family’s favorite snack.  This is delicious popping corn grown by Bluestone Mountain Farm in Hinton, WV. It is an heirloom, hull-less, variety.

The Popcorn Salt is a finer crystal that clings perfectly to freshly popped corn. It has great flavor, and the handy shaker allows for even distribution. Not just for popcorn. Try it on your favorite dish today!

This set includes 1 pound of Heirloom Popping Corn in a muslin sack and a 3.5oz shaker of pure West Virginia hand-harvest salt from the mountains of Appalachia. The brine is naturally sourced from an ancient, untouched sea called the Iapetus Ocean (predating the Atlantic) trapped below the Appalachian Mountains. The salt is free of contaminants and heavy metals that may be found in other oceans.  Gleaned from the earth by an underground brine aquifer, the salt is then processed naturally using the power of the sun and gentle mountain breezes. Made in the USA
