This was so simple and fun to make. We made Star Wars "ornaments" as a party favor for my son's birthday party. We had sandwich cutters in the shape of the death star and we used them to cut the dough. I did take the advice of adding warm water and making sure to roll out very slowly. I think that they turned out great and I can't wait to see what the kids think! Thank you for this recipe!!

We followed it to a T and it turned out fantastic...great consistency, not at all too sticky, and did not puff up too much in the oven. The kids had a blast. Thanks for posting!

I was able to make over 30 ornaments for my class to decorate with this recipe. Super easy- minus the dreaded kneeding!!!

Followed the instructions perfectly, but it was way too difficult to roll out. I tried even adding in some additional water and 1 tbsp. of oil like some suggested, but it still was like a rock. I finally got some rolled out with my kids and cut out few ornaments. They looked awful when they came out of the oen and were cracked everywhere. They had a blast doing it, but I would so not recommend this as a recipe for pretty ornaments.

Loved this ornament dough recipe, very easy and made dough that was great to work with and very low maintenance! Can't wait to spray them and give them as gifts! I made a snoman, gingerbread man/girl, star, foot, wreath, dog bone, stocking, etc. Painted them with acrylic paint then did the embelishments in puffy paint.

Although I listened to the reviews and rolled this very thin, I still had a problem with the dough puffing up on some of my ornaments. The dough was also a little dry once it was mixed, so I added just a touch more water than what it called for. Also, no matter how slow I tried to roll, or "stretch" the dough, I could not get a smooth finish. This wasn't a big deal for me, the kids just used the recipe to make their own little ornaments, didn't need for anything too pretty. Worked good for the most part, the kids had fun, so that's all that really matters.

The dough was perfect... But make sure you roll it out thinly and bake under 300. Check them often, flip them often. It took my about an hour for the first batch, and less after I rolled them thinner. They do puff up, but it isn't a big deal. They keep their shape.

I've never made ornaments from dough before and this was great. I questioned the salt content but I guess it works. The only negative thing I would say was my ornaments puffed up in the baking process even after I let them sit out on the counter for about 30-45 minutes prior to baking and the dough has hard to knead on a floored surface, so I just placed the whole batch into a plastic ziploc bag and grabbed out a small porton at a time and kneaded in my hand before rolling out on a floured surface. This made it work for me and the dough didn't dry out in that process before cutting them out. But I guess the end results is what's important. The kids and I had fun decorating them.
