| Thumbprint Pendant |
Remember our tie? Here's the results!
I'm sorry to say this did NOT work as expected! This project calls for homemade salt dough that is baked then painted to get the above effect. The salt dough is easy enough to make and shape, but the thumbprints didn't "bake into" the dough. #fail
This would be perfect for homemade Christmas ornaments, however. After baking, you could totally paint them. Here's the salt dough recipe:
1 cup salt
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of water (may add more)
In a medium bowl, combine the salt and the flour. Add water then knead until smooth and shape into a ball. When not in use, wrap in plastic or store in an airtight container.
Bake your crafts at 200 degrees for about 2 hours. Paint after cooling completely.
p.s. if anyone has been able to make thumbprint pendants from salt dough, please share how you pulled it off!

Make the recipe for the salt dough, make the shape you want, and when finished cooking and cooling paint... I'm getting to the point i promise.. when paint is almost dry that's when you can make the finger print..Also you could paint and let dry then cover with clear finger nail paint, when tacky make print. hope this helps. It work for us.
