Salt dough; a simple mix of salt, flour and water; can be molded and sculpted into several shapes for craft projects. The dough can be colored with food coloring or painted after it has hardened and dried. To join pieces of salt dough, you need to glue the joined edges to make them stick. The process for gluing the salt dough is different for wet and dry pieces.

Step 2
Brush the glue over the edges of the dried salt dough.
Step 3
Press the glued dough edges to each other and hold them in place for about 30 seconds to let the glue take hold.

Brush more glue over the join to smooth the seam. Allow the glue to dry for about 2 hours and decorate your salt dough creation as usual.
