I cut the recipe in half and got about 18 ornaments. I followed directions exactly... about half puffed up during cooking. 30 minutes was definitely not long enough for baking... more like 45-55 minutes in order to harden. But kids loved this craft!

Just made these and a few of them did puff (they were rolled thicker than the ones that did not puff). My daughter and I had fun together making these and we plan on painting them in a couple days.

This worked great for ornaments. I was able to get about 40 out of one batch of dough. I would definitely recommend kneading the dough a lot. My first batch puffed up, while the second one (which had to be re-worked & rolled out) did not. I also had to re-bake them for an additional 30 minutes to get them to harden all the way. Good, easy project for my 5yr old son & I.

My children and I made ornaments for all the children in our family here and in Florida! They turned out great, but needed to be cooked for an additional 45 min or so. However, they were a great gift and well loved by everyone! Thank You!

This recipe was awesome! It was so supple and smooth. I didn't need flour for rolling out at all. I did use a little more water than called for and did bake about 45 minutes. Wonderful, our ornaments were beautiful.

My 3 year old really enjoyed cutting these out with me - but there was no possibility of him working the dough - I even got a workout! Some of the ornaments were puffy and the paint we used made some of the surface of the ornaments come off. All in all, the ornaments kept their shape beautifully. My yield was more along the 3 dozen size, probably due to the size of the cutters! Enjoy!

Turned out ok. Having a playdate with 3 year olds and it was easy to prepare. I had to add a little water and vegetable oil to 'moisten' the dough. It's very crumbly. I also added cinnamon and nutmeg. Cool recipe! Thanks!

This was a great idea! My 2 little cousins loved making them and were really excited to show them off! And hang them on the Christmas Tree!

This dough worked perfectly. We used cookie cutters. They turned out great, didn't puff up too much.

I thought this was perfect. Very quick and easy. I didn't knead it for 10 minutes, my 2 year old didn't have the patience for that. Probably more like 5 minutes. I didn't need flour for rolling it out, I just rolled it on our counter top (granite) and it didn't stick at all. Before baking I used a straw to punch a hole in the top of each one. After cooking and cooling, I mixed glue with glitter and my daughter and I painted it on.
