Salt Dough Decorations

Encourage all the family to join in making salt dough decorations, great for present toppers and decorating the tree.

Please note, we’ve made several batches of this recipe using cornflour with great success. However, some viewers have had problems with the mixture being really runny. We’re not sure why, but if the same happens to you, just substitute with regular plain flour. And if you’re a scientist and know why this sometimes happens we’d love to know!
