Valentine Salt Dough Plaques
We had great fun making these salt dough plaques for
"best friends" at school.
You will need: One quantity
salt dough
Acrylic paints (which used pearlized colours)
Beads, glitter etc to decorate if desired Instructions:
Roll out the salt dough and cut out a variety of shapes using
cookie cutters. We used rounds, hearts and stars. If you
intend to hang the plaques, use a plastic drinking straw to cut out a small hole
at the top of the shape. Place on a baking tray and bake
on very low heat until dried through. Paint with acrylic
paints, and decorate with glitter or beads as desired.
Thread a colourful ribbon through the plaque to hang, or stack shapes on top of
each other as we have done and glue carefully together.
(If you would like the plaques to last a long time, it is a good idea to cover
with 2 coats of acrylic varnish: you can choose matt, satin or gloss depending
on the effect you want to achieve, and either paint or spray the varnish making
sure that the room is well ventilated). Back to
