I loved making Christmas Ornaments with my children at the Holidays - so much fun. Now that they are older (14-20) they love getting them out to trim the tree and bring up all the old memories! -

Cut the shape, then use a rubber stamp to make impressions in the dough. Then after painting them, antique them by rubbing on a thinned brown paint and wiping off excess. The paint will stay in the crevices and look old world.

Instead of painting ornaments after baking, you can add small amounts of craft paint to dough cut out or form ornaments of choice and dry then spray with clear protective coating 5 or 6 coats. They will keep for years in a dry place. I usually divide the dough and make many colors so i can use as needed. Keep stored in refrigerator in plastic bags and container till used up.

Add food coloring or Koolaid in the water called for in your recipe. This makes it much easier to get color throughout the dough. To test color, dip in fork and wipe on a white paper towel.

Separate the dough into two portions, adding red food coloring to one. Now, you may roll several thinly shaped, snakelike pieces from each portion, then twist them together like a candy cane!
