Make the salt dough by combining the flour, salt and water together in a bowl.
Roll out the dough.
Cut out one large star, several medium stars, and a couple of little stars.
Poke holes for hanging with a skewer or small straw. For the garland you want two holes, one on each side of the star. (see images above)
Bake on a cookie sheet in a 325 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Brush them with Mod Podge, and sprinkle a little glitter on top of each ornament.
Rub the edges with gold leaf.
Create the Garland
Decide on a pattern of stars and wooden beads.
Use a large piece of twine. Larger than your mantel or area you want to hang the garland.
Start threading the beads and stars. Make sure to thread stars onto the twine so they face out.
