Gifts for grandparents: Ornaments

I made these out of salt dough and I'm planning on giving them to my Dad. The recipe I used uses 10 tbsp. Of salt and 10 of flour as a base, with 1tsp. Of oil and about 6 oz. Of water. Keep adding equal parts salt and flour until you get the right consistency for rolling and cutting out the dough. I traced my child's hand on paper, then cut it with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or so. You can paint the dough afterwards, but I decided to leave it as is. I also tried to use food coloring on the dough before baking and that also worked well.

Inspired by Bakerella

We made holiday-inspired cake balls (using Bakerella's recipe: cake mix prepared according to box instructions, baked, cooled, crumbled, then mixed with cream cheese icing and rolled into balls) then turned them into these cute snowmen. It was fun to see them come to life.
