ORNAMENT THROW DOWN Part 2


My skills at things like cake decorating, paper crafts, applying glitter, baking, etc. are maybe at a second grade level (evidence). I envy Jacinda her precision and attention to detail in these matters. But the salt dough ornaments looked so easy and fun to do with the kiddo that Scarlet and I gave it a whirl.

While they in no way reach Jacinda’s level of beauty or detail, we really had a great time making and decorating them! After making a bunch with spray paint, markers, even crayons, we settled on simple dots of glitter glue right on the plain dough to create this garland of tiny butterflies.

I think it has a cute homemade touch (maybe?)…

We might hang it in her room after the holiday. After all, she loves to tell me: “Momma, I don’t yike snakes: I only yike butterflies.” Who can argue with that?

Personally, I think the butterfly garland rocks. I'm planning to try my hand at salt dough tomorrow with my kids – never quite sure how those types of things will go. Fun, messy, but not usually quite as beautiful as I have dreamed ;o)
