DIY Pet Ornaments

What you need:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup regular salt
  • 1 cup water
  • Food coloring - colors of your choice 
  • Cinnamon optional - makes them smell great
  • Cookie cutters - designs of your choice. For this project, bone shaped cutters and fish cutters made the main designs
  • Paint
  • Polyurethane sealant
  • Ribbon
Depending on the dough, you may need to add more water if it's too dry or more flour if it's too sticky.

Directions:
  • Combine the flour, salt, water, cinnamon to form a dough
  • Roll out the dough and cut out shapes with the cookie cutters
  • Add food coloring if you desire to various parts of the dough
  • Poke holes in the top of the cookie with a toothpick
  • Bake at 200 degrees for about 2-3 hours until completely dry.
  • Let cool.

The little dog head and the holly were additional cut outs using cookie cutters to create the shapes. 

Some crafters add a touch of cinnamon to give them a wonderful aroma.

After the cookies are cool:
  • Spray or paint polyurethane to seal them and give them a shine
  • Add ribbon to turn into a hanging ornament

You can personalize them by painting on a dog's or cat's name. Although the ornaments will smell wonderful, they are not for consumption.

Cookie Cutter Ornaments

Needed:
  • A baking sheet
  • Unpainted metal cookie cutters
  • Perler beads
  • Parchment paper
  • String, yarn or ribbon for hanging
Instructions:
  • 1.) Preheat your oven to 400F.
  • 2.) Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and place your metal cookie cutters on top.
  • 3.) Sort out your Perler beads into the colors you’re going to want to use. Fill your metal ornaments in a single layer with Perler beads. You want them to just be in a single layer so they melt evenly. No overlapping!
  • 4.) Place the baking sheet in the oven at 400F for 10 minutes. This will melt the beads enough that they stick together/stick to the sides of the ornaments, but not melt them completely.
  • 5.) Take them out of the oven and let cool completely.
  • 6.) Remove from the parchment paper – they should remove very easily once cooled – and string a piece of yarn/ribbon/string through one of the holes to hang from the tree.
