Salt Dough Ornaments

Today my students and I got into the holiday spirit and created some salt dough ornaments for their parents.
I made the dough from this recipe and stored it overnight until I could get it to school.
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup flour
I rolled it out and we cut little medallions from it using a small Tupperware container (I'm resourceful).
I used a "create your own stamp" kit from Wal-Mart to have them personalize the stamp to emboss their medallion to give it a personal touch.  Then poked a hole at the top for the string.
I will cook these suckers at 250 degrees for about 2 hours or until they are hard all the way through.  I will then spray paint them gold or silver (whatever the students choose) and there you go!
Easy, cheap gift for the kiddos to give!
Of course I was inspired to do this by this pin on Pinterest! Shocking, I know!
This was the inspiration picture for my project (mine look nothing like these...ha!)
