This Valentines Day, have fun crafting with the kids! With DIY salt dough, you can make some awesome Valentines Day crafts you’ll all love.
To make a basic salt dough, you will need:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
2/3 to 3/4 cup water
Combine the flour and the salt together, and then slowly pour in the warm water, a little at a time, until the dough is a soft but not sticky consistency. At this point, you can color your salt dough if desired.
Over at Twodaloo, she’ll show you how to make not just any salt dough, but a special Valentine marbled salt dough. Make a double batch of salt dough, and then divide it into three equal parts. Leave one uncolored, and color the other three parts red, pink, and purple. Now let the kids mix up the colors to create a marbled effect that’s pretty cool looking!
