salt dough gift tags
it was eighty four degrees here in miami yesterday
let me tell you something, it is sooooooo hard getting into the spirit of christmas under those hot conditions
but, i know it will be here before i know it and there is a certain four year old who is oh so excited beyond words and i cannot let her down
so i am trying to stay ahead of the game
i googled for a salt dough gift tags recipe and found THIS one
last year Lily and i made salt dough ornaments
making the tags was pretty much the same thing as making the ornaments but i chose to not use food coloring
i followed THIS recipe for the tags however, i ended up adding 1/4 cup more flour because the dough was still too sticky and i actually baked them at 300 (instead of 200) for twenty minutes, flipped them over and baked the other side for another fifteen/twenty minutes
i debated about wrapping the gifts in brown paper with red yarn but i chose to buy beautiful hand made indian paper from a local shop near us
i always admire it every time i go in there
the rudolph paper was a must since Lily is obsessed
happy ARTsy wednesday!
roller, play dough top instead of cookie cutter and straw (to make the hole on the tag)
