DIY Christmas Paw Print Ornament

  There is nothing like a homemade ornament to make your Christmas tree special. I wish that I had made this easy salt dough recipe years ago. I would have captured the paws that have left their prints on my heart.

   It was fun making these and I think next year, we will add food coloring to make some in red and green ornaments along with some festive ribbon. These are going to hang in our BFTB office all year.

Here are the Easy DYI Instructions

~Ingredients/Supplies~

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup salt

½ cup water

1 drop food coloring (optional)

~

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.

Christmas shapes would be cute but need to be large enough for your pet's paw.

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.

Add Christmas and the year on the back.
