Crafty Friday!

This was our Crafty Friday project, making Salted Dough Ghosts. Good exercise for those fingers. Everyone did there own variations of ghosts and other Halloween characters.










Salted Dough Ghosts:
Materials:
1 cup flour
1 cup salt
1/2 cup water
Bowl
Wooden spoon
Fine-point permanent black marker

Instructions:
Combine the flour, salt, and water in a bowl. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each into a ghost, flattening the base so it will stand up.
Microwave the ghosts on a plate one or two at a time for 20- to 30-second intervals until the dough is fairly firm (about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes in total). Let the ghosts cool (they can get quite hot).
Use a fine-point permanent black marker to draw on eyes and a mouth.
