Total Time:2 5

Preheat your oven to 200 ℉
Mix dry ingredients into a large bowl.
Carefully pour in 1/2 cup of warm water
Mix and knead together.
Add small drops of food coloring to your dough. Use the back of a spoon to push the coloring into the mixture. Mix until you are happy with the colors.
Roll the dough to about 1/4" thick.
Use a cookie cutter to gently press into the dough. Remove the excess around the cut-out shape.
Make a hole in the top of your ornament by using a straw or wooden skewer.
Place ornaments flipped over on your cookie sheet. Bake for 1 and 1/2 hours to 2 hours.
Optional: Paint extra designs, add a clear coat and ribbon or twine for hanging.

If you don't want to bake yours, you can let them dry for 3-7 days before painting.
If you want to keep your hands clean, mix the dough and food coloring in a bag.
You can mix until you get solid colors or use different colors for a marble effect.
To ensure your ornaments last, you can also reduce the oven temperature and increase the baking time. Either way, don't paint or seal until you are 100% sure all the moisture is removed.
