This is a very easy Do-It-Yourself craft.

Here is how to make a salt dough paw print

~Ingredients/Supplies~

1 cup all-purpose flour

Parchment paper

Rolling pin

Cookie cutter or cup

(Large enough for your dog’s paw to fit in the center)

Straw

Ribbon (¼” width)

Paint Pen

Directions

Combine flour and salt in a bowl and stir together. Add water and mix until you can form a ball.

Use a floured rolling pin to flatten dough to approx. ¼” thickness.

Use cookie cutter/cup to cut out a shape.

Gently press your dog’s paw into the dough shape.

Use a straw to make a hole for your ribbon before baking.

Bake at 250°F. on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet for

 2~2 ½ hours.

Let salt dough paw print cool completely. Thread ribbon through the “straw” hole and tie a bow.

Use a paint pen to write your dog’s name on your ornament.
