How To Make Salt Dough

Simply follow the method below,adjusting the quantities to make the amount 

of salt dough you need. The quantities given below are sufficient to make a 

bowl of salt dough.The addition of 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the recipe adds 

suppleness, while 1 tbsp wallpaper paste gives the dough elasticity.

you will need:

2 cups plain flour

1 cup salt

1 cup water

1- mix the flour,salt and half the water in a bowl.

2- knead the mixture,gradually adding more water until the dough has a smooth, firm consistency.  be careful not to add too much water or the dough will sag and become sticky.

3- remove the dough from the bowl and continue to knead for 10 minutes.  the dough can be modelled immediately,but is best left to rest for 30 minutes in an airtight container.

this is the dough I made

I did not add oil or wallpaper paste

here is what I made with it

The cube was my first try then I

made the caterpillar on the leaf , then the music note and then the roses

 you have to bake your creations in an oven at 120 degree c / 250 degree f

until they are completely hardened.

but I got an idea an heated them in the micro for 1 minute and they were completely hardened.

remember to keep the dough in an airtight container

5. thin wire

6. glass beads of different colors

2.  draw different shapes and symbols on the card and cut them out.

3. place the shapes on the clay sheet and cut around them with a modeling tool.

4. smooth all the surfaces and edges of the shapes.

5. if you want you can lift up the edges of the shapes with wet fingers.

you can hang them anywhere you like , but the best place is a window so that the beads can catch light.

Balloon bracelet

The idea of making bracelets using balloons came to me when I was bored & trying to find something fun

these bracelets are very easy to make & a lot of fun   

The thing that I love about these bracelets is that they can not be broken or destroyed , that is why I made 3 for my little cus

you will need :

   1- balloon ( try to use different colors)

    2- string ( its better to use elastic thread)

     3- a needle or pin ( don't use a thumb pin)

      4-scissors

1- tie the thread around the pin or get the thread through the needle.

2- put the pin inside the balloon & get the thread through the other end by making a hole.

3 - add balloons according to the size of the bracelet ( also keep in mind that at the end you will have to crush the balloons )

4 - tie the bracelet 

HAVE FUN    making these bracelets

Jelly worms

          jelly worms are very fun to make and even fun to eat 
                                         they are like the easiest thing to make
 I will not mention any quantities

you will need jelly , straws & a glass or mug

          1-make the jelly following the manufacture's instruction.                  
          2-place straws in a glass or mug.
          3-pour the jelly.
          4-place it in the fridge.


Bit don't worry if the jelly starts to fill up the glass because it is the only way to make jelly worms , the straws fill up to the same height as the glass


 I found out that you get better worms if you blow in the straws instead of trying to squeeze them out , but for that you first have to suck the jelly to make it leave it's place and then blow.
