I have some of these in the oven right now! I am not using them as ornaments though. How do you think the varnish will work over decorative paper?

My son and I made some decorations today but the dough bubbled and stuck to my cookie sheet. What can I do to keep them from sticking and bubbling up?

We made ours yesterday. I think I must of baked mine too long as they turned out a more golden brown than the ones pictured :/

From Stephanie for Micbelle:

Hm … I’ve made dozens of batches and never had this problem. It sounds like the temperature in the oven may be too high – I would check it with a thermometer to make sure it is correct. I would also be careful mixing – if the dough is not mixed well, trapped air bubbles would puff up during baking.

Hi, I am making these salt dough ornaments for my daughter’s Playgroup to decorate but when I put them in the oven they keep curling up on the sides and puffing up slightly in the centre. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Lynn,

Unfortunately, salt-dough can’t be made ahead – it will not keep even if it is refrigerated and wrapped. For best results, you have to make it right before you use it. Luckily, it is a very speedy dough to assemble. Hope that helps, and good luck!
