Salt Dough Flower Magnets

Back in March when I was making my Salt Dough Easter Egg Garland, I had a little leftover dough and decided I would attempt to make a little flower to see how it held up to baking. It turned out really cute and now I wish I had made more than one! But there is always more salt dough in my future.....



What You Need:

• Flour, Salt, Water
• Acrylic Paint
• Glue
• Magnet
• Mod Podge or Sealer

How To Make It:

• Make salt dough: mix 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, and approximately 1 cup of water
• To form each petal, make a small ball of dough and press down with thumb to form a flattened oval. Next take one end of the oval and pinch ends together to form petal shape.
• Gather the individual petals into a circle and place another small ball of dough in the middle. Press down gently to form center of flower.
• Place flower on cookie sheet and bake at 200 degrees for several hours until dough is hard and dry.
• Allow to cool completely.
• Paint with acrylic paint as desired.
• Mod Podge to seal paint and glue magnet on back.

Salt dough is always great to use when crafting with kids. They could paint these flowers to make a special gift for Mom or Grandma for Mother's Day.
