Salt Dough Ornament Recipe
For those of you who are self-Isolating at home with small people or for those just looking for something creative and cheap to do for fun
Today my children and I have made Salt dough mementos of our time in lock down. The process was very easy and enjoyable and hasn’t made too much mess. Although this isn’t a situation we would usually be marking it certainly is a historical event in our lifetime, one that we hope will not be repeated again!
