Instructions

  • 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.
