The other morning it was freezing and I had less than zero interest in actually leaving my home. It was the perfect time to create this project. Note: this is a fab one to do with the kids, too!
Supplies: salt, flour, water, measuring cup, bowl, spoon, rolling pin, cookie cutters, cookie sheet, oven, paint brush, paint (also chalk if you decide to use chalkboard paint).
Mix a batch of salt dough according to the recipe (I used this one).
Roll it out and use cookie cutters in your desired shape.
After they have baked (warning: it takes like three hours) let the hearts cool and then paint. I used primarily chalkboard paint, but I did a few pale pink and
metallic gold.
These would be super adorable in a little bowl or as part of a Valentine Day display.
It would also be super cute to make some larger hearts that you could write messages on with chalk. Sweet!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I'm very proud to have my recipe used for such works of art! I'll be taking inspiration and linking back soon. When there's a post like this, why reinvent the wheel (or should I say heart?).
