Exciting news!!

its funny – over the past 6 months... I guess when we moved into the inlaws and packed everything away – I have fallen out of love with making cards. I haven’t made any in AGGGGGES!! Ive also become a bit bored of the idea of selling them for profit. There are just too many people making cards and the market is a bit flooded. Meh – im sure I will come back to paper craft at some point.

 

Anyway - I have completely fallen in love with salt dough! I made a load of little hangy things which are SO cute – and SO versatile... I’m thinking wedding favours, xmas decorations, gift tags, baby gifts, engagement presents, necklaces... endless possibilities!!

But I’ve also been making FAIRY DOORS!!!!!! *swoon* - they are sooooo cute!!! I showed the people at work and all of them said I cwould be able to sell them... so I jumped in feet 1^st and set up a facebook page and an Etsy shop!!! I’m called “Wondoughful Things”! 

 

Like me on facebook, have a browse of my esy shop – more items being added all the time!

 

Something new...

So... I tried something new today! Can you guess what I made???

I made salt dough!!

I used the basic recipe: 1 cup plain flour, 1/2 cup salt, 1/2 cup warm water.

I kneeded it for 5 mins - DEFFO worth persevering with it, I wasn't going to bother but I kept at it and the texture changed!! It goes from quite gritty and stiff to feeling like playdoh. MUCH better for making stuff with.

Good ol Pinterest had some FAB ideas for inspiration, here's some that caught my eye...

I used star and heart cookie cutters that I already had and experimented with stamping letters and patterns. I think I need more practice with how hard to stamp but I liked the overall look.

After I had got as many shapes as I could from the dough I popped them in the oven to bake. Just another few hours to wait!!
