Salt Dough Angel Garland

One day last week Daisy, our Christmas Angel, suggested we made salt dough angels to decorate the fireplace. I finally have a pic. 

We used this recipe:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1/2 cup water

Cinnamon

Mixed it altogether until smooth, rolled and cut. We zapped a few at a time in the microwave for 2 minute bursts in high until hard. We turned them over several times to prevent puffing up. 

Once cool we decorated with paint, glitter, glitter glue etc. When the paint was dry I used a  Pebeo metallic paint pen to add the letters for MERRY CHRISTMAS. I threaded onto rustic string and Mischief's daddy hung it on the fireplace for me. 

I'm really pleased with the effect and Mischief's nanny wants one too.
