Today I’m sharing my recipe and process for making salt dough decorations, which can also double as packaging gift tags. These are so cute when attached to items you can sell online at craft fairs or farmers markets, but they are especially beautiful when hung on a Christmas tree.
One of my favorite things to do during the winter months is get started craft projects. Now that the days are getting shorter and there is less daylight available to spend outside, I’m turning my attention to crafting. This is when I do most of my crafting for the year because let’s face it, once the days get longer, you won’t find me indoors anymore! As a soap maker and herbalist, I’m always looking for ways to add flair to my packaging before shipping out purchases.
If you run a small business like me, you know it’s the little things that can make or break a repeat customer. I like to add something extra or just give a little personal touch. This is possible with these gift cards. I add them when tying packages for shipping, as a decorative element on bath salt jars. I have received so many compliments from people when they received their gift with this little extra surprise. They really brighten up any package!
So whether you’re looking for a fun family project to make with kids or want to give a handmade gift this holiday season, you’ll be able to whip up some salt dough decorations in no time. Salt dough is the perfect material for making ornaments because it is inexpensive, easy to work with, and surprisingly durable once dry. It is definitely one of my favorite Christmas crafts.
