This is my favorite DIY this season so far! It's super easy and an adorable keepsake :)
Salt dough recipe:
1 cup salt
2 cups flour
1 cup warm water
Combine salt and flour and slowly add in the warm water. Knead into a ball until it's a doughy texture. Mold some into a smaller ball (just enough for your child's hand to fit) and then roll out so it's about 1/4 inch think. Place your child's hand on top and press so it makes an imprint. Don't forget to use something like a straw to punch out a hole at the top so you can add a string to tie onto your tree! Once you're happy with your results, bake at 200 degrees for about 2 hours. Let them cool before painting with acrylic paint. I used Modge Podge to seal the paint so it lasts longer!
Have fun and happy holidays!
