 What you need: Dough: - 1 part salt - 1 part water - 2 parts flour For example I usually use: 1c salt, 1c water and 2c flour Other: - Rolling Pin - Cookie Cutters - Cookie Sheet or Dehydrator What to do: I get the best dough results by using a kitchen mixer with a dough hook or mixing the dough in my breadmaker on the Dough Cycle for about 1-15 minutes.
Alternative Drying Methods: Dehydrator or Air-Drying Decoration Option: Before Baking lightly stamp the ornaments   What you need: 4-quart square or round container - something that will fit a 1/2 paper towel roll standing up, I found a container for 25c at a thrift store, also you can use plastic coffee cans or large margarine tubs ½ roll Bounty or Viva paper towels, choose a "giant" or "super" size roll, make sure the paper is really soft 2 ½ cups hot water 2 T baby bath 2 T baby oil or Jojoba oil, Calendula oil, olive oil or Burt's Bees apricot oil Optional: 3-5 drops Essential Lavender oil  Instructions: - Cut paper towel roll in half (hubby does it for me) and remove cardboard tube - Put in your container standing up  -In a small bowl mix together water, baby bath and oil -Pour over the paper towel roll -Let sit for about 10 minutes - Done! - Now you can start pulling the towels from the middle :)  COST: Container: 25cents Thrift Store Paper towel: Free with coupon Baby Bath: the entire bottle was 50 cents after coupon Baby Oil: Free with coupon  Cut felt sheets into 1 inch (roughly) strips  Tie the strips in the middle, don't pull too tight  Choose a thicker thread (I used button thread) and start stringing the ties  Tie string into a loop at each end and display! I had intended this as a swag for the fire place, but that was too tempting for a little 14 mos old :)  Sin sin, níl aon scéal eile agam I am determined to lower my fabric stash, especially my fabric scraps stash (try that 3 times fast). My first scrap pillows of the year.   My 1st finished project of 2011! New curtains for the front and back door from fabric scraps.   Made from 2 thrift store tablecloths ($1 for both)     Here is a great way to dress up plain boots. My daughter is not too fond of her plain and boring ( yet waterproof and warm...) boots. So we gave them a makeover using the sleeves from an old sweater. Just cut off the sleeves, trim to fit boots and hem. I will go to the base thrift store on Thursday to find some pink, bright colored sweaters. Now she can change the look of the boots.
