Salt dough is an awesome material to make Christmas ornaments out of because it is really cheap and so easy to make that you can involve your kids. All you need is flour, salt and water and voila! You have a dough. Just mold and bake to make a beautiful Christmas ornament!
After you have the dough made, the possibilities are endless as to what you can make. I searched the internet for some of the cutest salt dough ornaments to make with your kids. These ornaments make great keepsakes for you, but can also be used for gifts for other special people in your child’s life like grandparents (see my complete list of DIY gifts for grandparents here), aunts, uncles, teachers, neighbours, etc.
Pro Tip: If you are not a fan of salt dough, don’t let that stop you from making these adorable ornaments. You can also use this air dry clay as well!
