I was wanting to do something special for Jamie, and thought an ornament with Audra's handprint would make a perfect gift.
The dough is so easy to make:
1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup salt and 1/2 cup of water
Make dough, roll out and cut with cutters, and bake for 2 hours in the oven at 250.
Easy right?
In looking it up, someone had suggested cinnamon in the dough to make them smell nice, and let me tell you, what a great tip. My house smells like christmas!
And a handprint ornament, with an 11 month old? Not going to happen!!!! Everytime I put her hand into the dough, she curled her hand into it, grabbing away. Why was I thinking that a handprint would be a good idea? lol. So we released a foot from the onesie, and stamped her foot. I managed to get it in and out before she totally curled up her toes, and now we have a great print to remember her toes at that size and I think Jamie will love it. We will paint it and mod podge it and voila! A great surprise for dad from daughter!
I will post a pic when it's all done!
