Salt dough - 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, cold water. Mix until has consistency of play dough. bake at 250 for 2 hours, then cool and paint any color….good recipe for thumbprint pendants.
Pretty cool. Looks like metal. I'm going to have to try this. I remember years ago I did this and used food coloring in the dough. Made several flowers and decorated a cake. Just make sure everyone knows not to eat them or they'll chip a tooth :-)
I LOVE THIS, Although I have a few questions. 1. What material/method did you use to get the look of both the hart and thumb print pendants. 2. did you do this before baking or after???
So what did you paint those with to make them look like metal? Those are so cool!

Miche' They do need to have the shape before baking. Hope that helps.
