Day 35: Family Finger Print Ornament

To make this finger print ornament I used a baking soda and corn starch dough.
For the dough you need:
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup corn starch
3/4 cup water

Mix all 3 ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stirring, until the dough gets thick like play dough. Remove from heat. Place in a bowl and let cool.

 

After the dough is cooled, roll out to 1/4 in. thick and cut with cookie cutters. Dust work space with corn starch so that the dough will not stick. 

We chose a stocking cookie cutter. Use a straw to make a hole to string a ribbon through.

 

 

We put our thumb prints along the side of the stocking and baked at 175 for an hour.

 

After the ornament was baked and cooled I painted it silver and labeled our prints with whose was whose.

 

 

Lastly I glued some ribbon around the top for decoration and strung some ribbon through the hole for a hanger.
