2 cups flour<br />

¾ warm water<br />
Mix ingredients in a bowl. Knead<br />
on a floured surface for 10 minutes<br />

the dough to become smooth and<br />
pliable. If the dough is too sticky, add<br />
more flour. Roll the dough to ½ inch<br />
thick. Press hand, thumb or paw into<br />
dough. Cut out as desired. Use a<br />
skewer or straw to make a hole for<br />
the ribbon. Place ornaments on a<br />
cookie sheet lined with parchment<br />
paper and cool at 200 degrees F<br />
for four hours. Once cool, paint<br />
with acrylic paint. After the paint as<br />
dried, spray with clear sealant after<br />
the paint has dried.<br />

a button if you like.
