salt dough {magnets too}

2 cups flour
1 cup salt
About 1 cup of water
***combine (adding more flour if too sticky), knead, create, cook at 250 for a couple of hours, paint if desired***

I sprayed all of our creations with clear acrylic spray to keep the paint from coming off. To make magnets, use Crafter’s Goop and glue your creation to a basic round magnet (found at Walmart, Hobby Lobby).

Earlier Biggest Brother and I had made some collages from my JCrew magazine. It was surprising to me to see how the colors that he used the most of then (orange, blue, green) were the same paint choices he made for his salt dough creations. I took the pattern off a dress on my collage for my magnet design.

Just fyi for those wondering….we showed up for Salsa lessons and were the only couple! The teacher said I could share Chris or they would make it a salsa aerobics class. Bummer, so we dropped out of the class. We might try coordinating one on our own with the teacher if we can round up enough couples.
