Salt Dough Christmas Ornaments are homemade Christmas ornaments that double as a sentimental Christmas craft that is fun to do with the kids. That is a win-win, in my book. These Christmas Salt Dough Ideas are the best of the best for you to make this holiday season.
Homemade Ornaments are my favorite ones to pull out of the Christmas bins. The kids get so excited to hang their craft ornaments on the tree. They always find a special place just for their sentimental ornament. Over the years, we’ve made so many ornaments to share with you, like sugar ornaments, homemade pasta candy cane ornaments, nd Jolly Rancher Christmas ornaments,
Today, I thought I would round up some sentimental salt dough keepsake ornaments as fun Christmas Ornaments kids can make that we can try out this year. I can’t wait to make salt dough with the kids this weekend! It’s such a fun activity.
