*not for eating* (naturally......eeeeeeeuuuuuugh!)
1 cup of table salt, dissolved in 1 and a bit cups of water, add gradually three cups of flour. You can shape it or cut it out with cookie cutters. Let it harden or bake it at 200 degree F until hard. I did also try some in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, but I wasn't convinced my plate or microwave were going to survive. So I wimped out and went back to my trusty oven. However lovely Kirsty Allsop who inspired this little foray into salt dough, did microwave hers.Make holes to hang, a straw is brilliant for this.
Then paint with regular acrylics.and lots of glitter!!
Make your house pretty, while feeling a little retro and twee!

MrsB and Ms.Fish have been friends since time began. We were recently reincarnated as Mothers and decided that if we are going to 'be at home' then we need to 'live at home' and THIS blog is a culmination of our friendship and our creativity with food x
Mistress of the Kilner Jar and anything preserved or pickled. I like to grow herbs and the odd bit of veg. I like to plant things in odd containers. I love to make things and taste things. Here's to our culinary year x
