Make your DIY Ornaments:

  • Knead until a smooth dough forms.

  • Roll out dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut into circles or other shapes.

  • Make your handprint/footprint. Be sure to wash your hands and feet when you’re done! Flour is a raw ingredient. Learn more about Consumer Food Safety and handling raw flour.

  • Poke a hole in the top for the ribbon. Don’t forget this step, because you won’t be able to do it after it bakes!
