For the salt dough beads
- In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup hot water and ½ cup salt together.
- Add ½ cup flour and mix with your hands. The result should be a ball of soft dough.
- Roll dough into bead size of choice and poke holes with ends of paintbrushes, chopsticks or straws.
- Heat oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and space out beads on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, checking periodically (baking time will depend on size). Beads are cooked completely when hardened, but not brown.
- Let cool. Hand paint and string onto yarn to make jewelry of choice.
Notes:
If beads are crumbling, add a little warm water to your hand before rolling your bead.
