Description
Engage your creativity by crafting adorable salt dough monster pets that serve as personalized gifts or vibrant home decorations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water and oil, mixing until the ingredients come together. If using food coloring, add it to the mixture for vibrant dough.
- Once combined, knead the dough on a clean surface for about 5-10 minutes until you have a smooth, non-sticky consistency that holds its shape.
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape it into various monster forms (heads, bodies, arms, etc.). Add features like eyes, horns, and mouths by pinching or rolling small pieces of dough.
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Place your shaped monsters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 2-3 hours until completely dry and hard.
- Once cooled, paint your monsters with bright colors and add details using markers or glitter. Allow to dry fully before handling or displaying.
Notes
You can use cookie cutters for uniform shapes or craft tools for intricate designs. Combine different food colorings for customized shades. Allow shapes to air dry for several days as an alternative to baking.
