Salt Dough Handprints

I found this idea on a fellow blogger's blog and thought it was too cute not to share.
Salt dough handprints are a great idea for gifts not just at christmas, but any time of the year. To make the dough use:

2 cups of flour

1 cup of salt

1 cup of water

Knead the dough for awhile to get the right consistency (equivalent to play-doh). Then roll the dough into equal circles and press your hand or foot into the dough.

Put the dough into the oven at 200 degrees for 2-2 1/2 hours. Once hardened and cooled, you can paint and decorate however you like.
