1 cup of salt
1 cup of water
Food coloring of your choice

Step-by-Step Recipe: How to Make Your Own Ornaments
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and water. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more water. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Step 2: Add Color
Divide the dough into smaller portions, depending on how many different colors you want. Add a few drops of food coloring to each portion and knead until the color is evenly distributed. For a marbled effect, you can also fold different colored doughs together and lightly knead.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
Place a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface and sprinkle some flour on top. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness using a rolling pin. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, dust it with some flour.
Step 4: Cut Out Shapes
Using your cookie cutters, cut out different shapes from the dough. You can also use a knife to create your own unique designs. Carefully transfer the cutouts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Bake and Cool
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Bake the ornaments for about 2 hours, or until they are completely dry and hard. Let them cool on a wire rack before handling.
Step 6: Add Some Color
Once the ornaments are cool, you can add some color and details using acrylic paint and paintbrushes. Get creative and personalize each ornament for a special touch.
Step 7: Add a Ribbon
To turn your ornaments into hanging decorations, simply thread a piece of ribbon or string through the top of each ornament and tie a knot.
Final Thoughts
Making cookie cutter Christmas ornaments is a fun and easy activity that the whole family can enjoy. Plus, they make for great homemade gifts or decorations for your own tree. Get creative with your designs and have fun with it! Happy holidays!
