Not so wordless Wednesday!
Today we had a fun time making hand print molds with Aunt Shannon and baby Z. This is a really inexpensive way to make a great keepsake! It is a tad messy but well worth it! Here's how we did it:
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 cup salt
1/2 cup water
Food coloring (optional)
Directions:
In a medium size bowl mix the flour, salt, and water. Then add whatever color of food coloring you want.
To prevent sticking, sprinkle a piece of foil with some flour. Separate your mixture into 2 parts. Depending on the size of your molds, you may have enough dough to do 3 molds.
Use rolling pin to flatten each piece to about 1/2 in. thick.

Lastly toss into the over and Bake 200 degrees for 1 to 2 hours, checking once for cracking. Make sure the mold is completely dry before trying to remove from the foil.
Enjoy your new keepsake!
How fun!!

ReplyDeleteDoes the water need to be hot or cold before mixing together?
ReplyDeleteWe used warm water. I think hot would work too. Thank you for stopping by.
