They're now 30 years old and trimming my kids' trees. The salt dough can be rolled out and cut with cookie cutters. If you do a search you can find a lot of information. Just make sure if you do this that you store them in a dry place. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 We made these in Girl Scouts one year and put food coloring right in the dough. I remember them being a little sparkly? Is that from the salt? Peace, Diane , TendrMoon wrote: > > In a message dated 12/5/06 8:18:53 AM Eastern Standard Time, > jtwigg writes: > > > I bet this would be a fun project to do with children.
