Ingredients:

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt, stirring until well mixed.
-
Add Water: Pour the hot water into the bowl containing the dry ingredients.

Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture with a spoon until it begins to come together.

Knead the Dough: Once the dough starts forming a ball, transfer it to a clean surface and knead it for approximately 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and pliable.
-
Shape the Ornaments: Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin.
-
Cut into Shapes: Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough. Alternatively, you can opt for freehand shaping if preferred.

Make Holes for Hanging: Using a straw, make a hole near the top of each ornament. This will allow for hanging once they are finished.
