This has been a week of baking at our house.  We made six different kinds of cookies on Tuesday and got them all ready to ship out to friends, teachers, and neighbors.

Wednesday we worked most of the day on salt dough ornaments and wreaths for gifts.  I made several more of the gingerbread men wreaths

and made a ton of star ornaments for the girls in my class at church.

While making the ornaments, I got the idea to make a star wreath similar to the gingerbread one.

, Saving 4 Six

So, I made my salt dough and cut out the stars.

Next, I placed them on the baking pan lined with parchment paper (this is key so it doesn’t stick!!).  I attached the stars by placing a little dab of water where the stars touch.  Then I baked according to the recipe.

I put a coat of polyurethane on the stars and while wet, My Princess and I sprinkled glitter on them.

Finally, I just attached a ribbon and now have a beautiful new Christmas wreath that will last.

I’m not going to pack this one away after Christmas…I’ll save it and use it for the 4th of July too.

Blessings,

    Awesome! And I really like the way you are displaying it on the red shutter! You always have wonderful ideas!

    Perhaps you can change the ribbon to a red, white and blue one for July 4th! It will be PERFECT!!!

    My son and I made a LOT of salt dough ornaments this year, but I never thought to bake them into a wreath…so clever!

    This is such a great idea! I’m making one for my parents who have a small trailer they use when they go to the beach and the stars will be painted brightly like star fish! 🙂
