Ingredients
- 4 ounces of flour for all purposes
- A cup of salt
- One-half cups of warm water
Directions
Step 1
Assemble all of the components, and then set the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).

Make use of your hands to combine the ingredients when it becomes too tough to stir them with a spoon.
Step 3
Put the dough on a surface that has been dusted with flour and knead it until it is soft and malleable.
Step 4
Roll out to a thickness of one eighth of an inch, and then use cookie cutters to cut the desired shapes.
Step 5
Place the dough forms on baking sheets that have not been oiled, and then use a toothpick to create a hole in each ornament so that it may be hung.
Step 6
Bake for approximately one hour in an oven that has been preheated, swapping racks halfway during the baking process.
Step 7
After removing it from the oven, wait until it has reached room temperature before serving on the table. Decorate in the manner of your choosing using acrylic paint and craft varnish to provide protection. One string should be threaded through each hole.
Step 8
Decorations, and have fun!
