handprint ornaments

we made these handprint ornaments today and i absolutely LOVE them. 


i mixed 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, and 1 cup water.  mixed it well until it formed a dough, then rolled the dough into balls.  this amount made 4 baby sized handprints.  i flattened out the dough into circles and pressed their hands into it. 


they baked for 3 hours on 200*.  before i baked them, i used a pencil to make 2 holes in the top for ribbon.  take a look ...
