NATURAL LIVING: Salt Dough Keepsakes

Although this came to me as a DIY footprint stepping stone, I've found several useful ways that this salt dough recipe can be used for natural, easy and fun crafts.

Use it to make stepping stones every year with your children or perhaps personal Christmas ornaments! Let your imagination go wild and please share what you come up with!

Salt Dough recipe:
1 cup salt
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup warm water

Directions:
1. Mix together into a large bowl. 
2. Knead until smooth and stretchy. 
3. If dough remains sticky and granular from the salt add a bit more flour.   
4. If too dry and crumbly then add a tiny touch more water.
