Basic, Easy Salt Dough Recipe

I've been meaning to post this, so here 'tis!!

1  C. Table Salt

1 C. Flour

1/2 C. Water

mix & Knead until a firm, not too sticky dough forms.    More flour = smoother texture, more salt = gritty, sand-sculpture like texture.  Ready to use, or cover w/ plastic wrap & refridgerate for up to 3-4 days.  Bake creations in low temp oven until golden brown, cool completely.  Can easily be tinted w/ food coloring before use, or painted after, should be coated with a couple coats of poly if you want to keep long term...  Can be cut, rolled & shaped like Play-Doh, makes great tree ornaments, but roll thin for this, they quickly get HEAVY!!!   For ornaments, be sure to use a straw to poke a hole for hanging BEFORE baking.  Enjoy!!
