I have been doing these - we are at the drying out stage - I partly did it in the oven but after 3 hours in a gas mark 1 oven some where starting to rise and brown on the bottom and others were still soggy in the middle! Mine feel really heavy so I don't think they could be used on the tree. I am hoping they come out as lovely as yours!

Not sure i did mine right ,they only took just over one hour and started to go brown but they are rock solid so fingers crossed. Never done salt dough before !!
I also made these they look superb, Im wrapping them up with a little verse attached for the children to give as gifts
I used 1 cup flour 1 cup salt and just enough water to bind it, cooked on high for about 45mins
i love these, make them every year with mindees and date them. I use gold or red paint and then glitter them to death whilst the paint is wet My two make them too so now we have lots of them on our tree - one from each year I've been minding ( a few of them didn't survive the loft - not cooked properly I think) but it's lovely to pull them out.
Some of my midnees have more than 3 or 4 now too and still hang them on their trees every year. just made one today with 2 year old mindee (she was sick last year) and was tellign her how I used to make them with her big brother.
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
