Jared and I have decided to make a tradition of making a new ornament every year with the kids. That way, they will have some of their very own when they leave and start their own families.
That was one thing that was hard for Jared and me when we first got married was that we didn't have any thing to decorate with and we were too poor to buy anything. So, we hope to give our kids a decorating boost someday.
This year we are creating them out of play dough. I hope they last, we've had done casualties already.
The recipe:
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup corn starch
3/4 cup water
Mix and cook on medium heat till it turnes to the consistency of mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and cool in a bowl with a damp rag. Form into shapes, bake at 175°for 30 minutes then flip over and bake another 30 Minutes.
Here is the before pictures...we will paint them hopefully tomorrow!
