- Salt Dough: Mix 2 cups flour & 1 cup salt with approximately 1 cup water to form dough
- Egg-shaped Cookie Cutter
- Acrylic Paint & Paint Brushes
- Mod Podge
- Ribbon for Hanging
- Roll salt dough out to about 1/4" thick and cut out egg shapes (I cut 12).
- Poke hole in the top of each egg. I used the non-pointy end of a Bic pen.
- Place on cookie sheet and bake at 200 degrees for several hours until eggs are hard & dry.
- Once cooled completely, paint your eggs with pretty patterns & colors.
- Once the paint is dry, seal with a coat of Mod Podge.
- Tie a loop through the top of each egg with ribbon and then suspend each one from a longer ribbon to make the garland.
- Hang garland and step back to admire how cute this project turned out!!!

These are so pretty! I need to try this. I'd love it if you'd share these at Whimsy Wednesdays at www.thenymelrosefamily.blogspot.com/2012/03/whimsy-wednesdays-3.html. We go live Tuesday night at 8 EST. I'm following.
ReplyDeleteso adorable!! i was inspired- we just threw ours in the oven after following your tutorial. I can't wait to see how they turn out! We divided the dough in half and used food coloring to make it blue and green (my boys are only 2 and 4, and favorite colors are EVERYTHING at this point...lol). We are so excited to string them up-- and made a few extra to mail to family for Easter gifts!
ReplyDeleteLove this! We tried making salt dough the other day, it was not a success! Will give it another try as this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I found this. I used to do salt dough ornaments with my mom growing up. Takes me back and will be something I want to have my family grow up doing. Yeah!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! I have never been successful at salt dough! These are the cutest colors! Would you be willing to link this up to my Springtime Holiday Link Party? I'd love to have you! Thanks, Michelle

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, for some reason I only think of salt dough for Christmas ornaments. This is such a fun way to use it for another holiday. I think my 5 year old would love painting some eggs that she could enjoy year after year. I just don't think the end result would be as cute as yours. Thank you for sharing on A Crafty Soiree.
ReplyDeleteWow what a cute idea! I love using the ribbon to string it up.
