It was a very festive feel this week (13th December), as we made salt dough Christmas decorations. To make them, you need 1cup of flour, 1 cup of salt, spices (if you want!) and approx 3/4 cup of water, mix it all together and add more water if needed. Knead for a few minutes before rolling out and cutting out your shapes. We made a big selection of shapes - gingerbread men, snowmen, stars, trees etc, and decorated some of them with cloves. Salt dough takes quite a long time to set (you can either air-dry them or cook in the oven at a very low temperature - it can take several hours), so we took them home at the end to decorate later.
A few of us braved a walk at Fyne Court afterwards - even though it was starting to sleet a little as we left!
