Mothers Day is Sunday and I have a very simple gift idea for yours! Moms love jewelry right?! You can make the most beautiful jewelry for them straight from your heart and from the kitchen cupboard! Supplies: 1/2 cup salt 1 cup flour 1/2 cup water Mix ingredients together. Knead the dough together. Roll salt dough about 1/4" thick. Not too thick, not too thin. Create your shapes, cut them out, use cookie cutters, use your hands and fingers, anything you want! Bake at 250 for about 2 hours... until salt dough jewels are completely hard all the way through. Like I said, once you roll your salt dough out, you can make anything. I am NOT a baker so I do not have cookie cutters. That probably would have been easier! Haha. I just used a lid to cut circles. Also, for the flower pictures above, I simple used my fingerprints to make it. Then, I cut the edges with butter knife and poked a hole in it with a straw. When you have baked them at 250 for 2 hours or until totally hardened. PAINT! Paint any way, any style, any colors you want! Put sequins, glitter, nail polish! Once you've painted, pull out the yarn and beads and start bedazzling! If you don't have beads, don't worry! Simply hang your jewel from a string and watch your mom's eyes light up! This is such a treasure from the heart that will hang next to her heart! :)
Happy Mother's Day to all the hard working moms out there! Xx, Mrs. Gipaya
