Does any one know the recipe for Christmas ornaments out of flour?

Question

i know that they have salt in them too and need to be baked.

Answer 1

No bake scented ornaments: 3/4c applesauce, 4oz cinnamon;optional: 1Tbsp ground cloves,1Tbsp ground nutmeg,2Tbsp white glue. Mix all ingredients together. Roll dough 1/4" thin and use cookie cutters to make shapes. Make a hole in the top to hang. Allow to dry 2-3 days on a cookie cooling rack, turning every day. Enjoy!

Answer 2

There are various "clays" and doughs you can use to make Christmas ornaments. You've gotten recipes for "salt dough" (though there are variations in ingredients and proportions) as well as gingerbread dough, etc., but there are others.

"Bread clay" is one I especially like since it handles better than salt dough, the salt doesn't sting, and it stores better (no bugs, etc.). I wouldn't use it if you need a huge amount of dough or you want to make very larger items though. Here's a recipe:

6 slices white bread
6 tbsps. white glue
1/2 tsp. detergent (liquid?, clothes or dishes?)... or 2 tsp. glycerin
food coloring
Remove crusts from bread, and knead with glue.
Add either detergent or glycerine.... knead until no longer sticky.
Separate into portions and add food coloring if desired.
Shape.
Brush with equal parts of white glue and water if you want a glossy finish.
Allow to dry overnight to harden.
Paint with acrylic paint if you want as well, or if you didn't color the doughs.
Can also seal at this point with clear nail polish
.... or seal with white glue (or yellow wood glue)... starting out with a light coat... let dry... then use a heavier coat

There are also various types of clay based on corn (flour) or oats rather than wheat (flour)... check this page for some recipes for those:
