As you know, I was off work all last week so I had a little staycation and it was glorious. But, we did spend a whole day in downtown Asheville and had a great date night! First, we stopped at @theblackbirdrestaurant for some brunch and then spent some time strolling and shopping all the stores like @mastgeneralstore and @anthropologie 🛍️ And our dinner at @ukiahrestaurant was amazing! That was our first time going there and it did not disappoint! And of course, we couldn’t end the evening without a sweet treat, so we got some @asheville.chocolate 🍫 All in all, a great date night and great week off. Although, I’m super bummed my staycation is over and it’s back to reality now 😂

Salt Dough Ornaments

I wanted to do a quick DIY project this weekend and I thought creating these old salt dough ornaments would be so fun and festive! I haven’t made these since like elementary school so it was a lot of fun to do again.

This is so simple and easy to do and only requires a handful of ingredients. Most of them you probably already have in your home already too, which is a huge plus!

This was more of an experiment for me too because I wanted to test out my liquid spices I have from Spray Gourmet. I wanted to see how well they would work in this recipe.

I have actually used them to cook before and they taste great so I just wanted to see how the salt dough ornaments would turn out if I used them instead of the actual ground spices.

Spoiler alert- they turned out amazing!

Salt Dough Ornaments
They turned out to be so cute and festive!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Materials Needed:

  • All Purpose Flour (2 cups)
  • Salt (1 cup)
  • Water (3/4 cup- 1 cup)
  • Spray Gourmet Cinnamon Liquid Spice (2 tsp. You can use ground cinnamon instead too)
  • Spray Gourmet Ginger Liquid Spice (2 tsp. You can also use ground ginger as well)
  • Nutmeg (2 tsp)
  • Cloves (2 tsp)
  • Citrus Fresh Essential Oil (10 drops)
Materials Needed for Salt Dough Ornaments
Everything you need to make these awesome ornaments!

How To Make the Salt Dough Ornaments:

The first thing you need to do is mix together your flour, salt, citrus fresh drops, and all the spices. Then, you need to slowly add in your water.

Don’t mix it all in at once because you don’t want your consistency to be too sticky.

Adding the spices to the salt dough
Adding all the spices together.
Mixing the salt dough
Here is what my mixture looked like after adding 3/4 cup water.

After it is all mixed together, knead it into a ball on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Then, using cookie cutters, cut out your ornament shapes!

Kneading salt dough into a ball
Here is the ball of dough before rolling it out.
Cutting out salt dough ornaments
Now roll it out and cut out your ornament shapes!

Place the ornaments onto cookie pans and be sure to cut out a hole in each ornament before baking so you can easily attach string or twine to it later.

I used a toothpick and moved it around in circular motions until I made a big enough hole.

Cutting holes in salt dough ornaments
Here you can see how I am cutting the holes in the ornaments with a toothpick. Also, ignore my very overly used cookie pan sheet lol

Baking The Salt Dough Ornaments:

Now that you have all the ornaments prepared, it’s time to bake them! I preheated my oven to 170 degrees (you want your oven to be on the lowest setting as possible.

Then, I baked them for one hour and flipped all of the ornaments over and put them back in the oven for another hour.

So it took two hours total to bake them, but the whole house smelled so delicious as I was baking them. So that was another plus to this easy recipe!

Letting The Salt Dough Ornaments Cool
Cooling the salt dough ornaments.

Let the ornaments cool completely for a few hours, or overnight even. Once they are cool, you can begin to decorate with them!

Decorating With Your Salt Dough Ornaments:

You can obviously use them for what they are intended for- ornaments. Or you can be even more creative with them.

You could easily make them into a Christmas Garland (also see my orange garland I made last year for more garland ideas!).

Salt Dough Ornaments on Tree

You could also make them into gift tags or use them for gift decorations. I plan on doing that with them too.

I love adding things to make my gift wrapping special, so be sure to stay tuned and I will share how I wrap my gifts this year.

If you can’t wait, you can also see how I wrapped my gifts last year too!

Outlining ornaments with puffy paint
So much fun to outline with puffy paint them too!

Another fun idea for these is to use puffy paint (like I did with my DIY Gingerbread Houses) and outline them just like sugar cookies!

You could even write in someone’s name with the paint to make it more of a personalized gift tag too!

Conclusion:

This was such an easy and fun DIY project and it was very festive too. I am so happy with how they turned out and I love that you can use them for multiple things when you are finished.

Have you ever made salt dough ornaments before?? If so, let me know below!

    This looks like a fun weekend activity. I’ve never even seen the spray spices before. And I always love any craft with puffy paint.

The cutest little oil & vinegar set! 😍 I don’ The cutest little oil & vinegar set! 😍 I don’t know why I’ve never actually had my olive oil out on the counter, especially since I use it every night!! But I guess I just didn’t have a cute enough dispenser for it. So I’m glad I have one now! Do you leave oil & vinegar out on your counters too?!

We had the best time being tourists in our own cit We had the best time being tourists in our own city this past weekend. As you know, I was off work all last week so I had a little staycation and it was glorious. But, we did spend a whole day in downtown Asheville and had a great date night! First, we stopped at @theblackbirdrestaurant for some brunch and then spent some time strolling and shopping all the stores like @mastgeneralstore and @anthropologie 🛍️ And our dinner at @ukiahrestaurant was amazing! That was our first time going there and it did not disappoint! And of course, we couldn’t end the evening without a sweet treat, so we got some @asheville.chocolate 🍫 All in all, a great date night and great week off. Although, I’m super bummed my staycation is over and it’s back to reality now 😂

I just wanna be a stay at home cat mom 😹 But, unfortunately that doesn’t pay the bills for some reason. Let’s all home that this week flies by at least. Fingers crossed I make it through 🤣
