I did them and they turned out pretty good! I can't remember which recipe I used, I'll search for that later. I ended up adding more flour, a few spoonfuls at a time because my dough was too sticky/wet.</p> <p>My LO's beefy hands allowed me to make 2 per recipe (so I made the dough twice to get 4 total). ;) I used a straw to punch out the whole for ribbon. </p> <p>My biggest tip is NOT to increase the oven heat! I was impatient and turned the oven up because I didn't want to wait hours for them to dry/harden. So those 2 turned a little brown, whoops! :( </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1229572 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 11:51:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 1229572@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I saw on another thread that you did these successfully. Any tips? Which recipe did you end up using? </p> <p>I'd like to do a couple of these with my almost 4 month old-- wondering how much dough i need for each. I don't think her hands are particularly 'beefy' :) </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1205958 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 13:07:55 +0000 cmomma17 1205958@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: my crazy baby keeps grabbing the dough when I put his hand down and then I have to start all over!! aargh! ;) </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1205957 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 13:04:05 +0000 tlcbaby 1205957@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: It was pretty comical when I made mine because LO was only 8 days old. :) He was asleep when I started sticking his feet into the dough, but then I had to uncurl his little fists to do the hands and he screamed through the whole thing! </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1205955 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 13:02:27 +0000 cmomma17 1205955@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: I turned the heat up on the oven for the first two I tried. When they are close to done (and pending nap time ...) I will try to mix up the new dough an try a few more! :) </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1205954 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 12:58:46 +0000 tlcbaby 1205954@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Awww, as long as they harden up it should be fine. You have to show us the finished product :) </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1205953 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 12:56:36 +0000 cmomma17 1205953@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: thanks for the link. That recipe has much more flour than salt compared to mine. Unfortunately I don't think there is anything that will help my giant baby's big beefy hands ;) </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1205949 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 12:53:35 +0000 tlcbaby 1205949@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Hmm, the one I used only had them in the oven about 35-40 minutes, but at a higher temp. so they could be fine. If they are still soft, you could leave them in longer at a higher temp. and just check them often. Mine weren't very sticky, though. I used this recipe...</p> <p><a href="http://www.dosmallthingswithlove.com/2013/01/salt-dough-ornament-babys-frist.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dosmallthingswithlove.com/2013/01/salt-dough-ornament-babys-frist.html</a> </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1205946 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 12:47:35 +0000 cmomma17 1205946@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, has anyone actually successfully done these?? I feel like I;m in the midst of a Pinterest FAIL!!!!</p> <p>First of all, they are huge! Guess I shouldn't have waited until LO was 6 months old? Second, they are sticky and I couldn't transfer to a baking sheet. My "recipe" was only enough to make two (again, they are HUGE).<br /> And it said to "dry" them in the oven at 200 degrees for 5 hours? So in FIVE HOURS I'll know for sure that I failed????

No need to spend $15 per kit. That's crazy.<br /> I'm going to DIY for sure.<br /> I like the instructions here: <a href="http://www.delightedmomma.com/2012/11/how-to-make-salt-dough-ornaments-i-may.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.delightedmomma.com/2012/11/how-to-make-salt-dough-ornaments-i-may.html</a><br /> She used mod podge and glitter at the end :) :) </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199211 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:43:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1199211@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually just bought some of this stuff to make the ornaments. </p> <p><a href="http://www.crayola.com/things-to-do/how-to-landing/airdry-clay.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.crayola.com/things-to-do/how-to-landing/airdry-clay.aspx</a> </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199208 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:41:45 +0000 littlebug 1199208@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I think I'm just going to DIY one this year! </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199136 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:16:02 +0000 tlcbaby 1199136@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: Thanks!

They smell like heaven. You make a dough and then bake them until the are hard (usually after cutting them into a shape and cutting a hole in them). </p> <p><a href="http://www.mccormick.com/Recipes/Other/Cinnamon-Ornaments" rel="nofollow">http://www.mccormick.com/Recipes/Other/Cinnamon-Ornaments</a> </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199111 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:09:02 +0000 tlcbaby 1199111@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: Oh what are cinnamon ornaments? </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199107 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:07:07 +0000 bpcmarj 1199107@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: Love the spray paint idea. </p> <p>I bought all the stuff to make these last year when she still had tiny baby hands, and never did.

This year, I WILL CRAFT SOME THINGS.</p> <p>Sorry, the all caps was so that you would all know I meant it ;) </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199104 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:05:32 +0000 tlcbaby 1199104@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>I did what @knittylady: is suggesting for Father's Day and they turned out great! I just used salt dough and then spray painted them with some gold spray paint I had. Much cheaper than a kit! </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199099 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:03:35 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1199099@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: You can add glitter to salt dough...I think! :) </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199090 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:00:12 +0000 cmomma17 1199090@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: Yeah, I definitely thought about DIY too. Would be WAY cheaper too. I'd just hate to screw it up ;)<br /> All I'd need is some ribbon. I liked the pottery barn kit because it had a glitter option. </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199083 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 09:58:19 +0000 knittylady 1199083@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to do this too, and am thinking I might just DIY with salt dough... It LOOKS pretty easy (famous last words..)</p> <p>1 cup flour<br /> 1/2 cup salt<br /> 1/2 cup water</p> <p>mix and knead for 5 minutes and then roll out and imprint/stamp/whatever! Then bake till dry. They say at 200 for about two hours. </p> https://deals.hellobee.com/topic/hand-print-ornament-kits#post-1199014 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 09:33:41 +0000 cmomma17 1199014@https://deals.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to do hand print ornaments for gifts this year (LO's first Christmas).<br /> Any deals out there on these? So far I have found one at pottery barn for $15. However, I want to do one for us to keep, and one for each set of grandparents (maybe my sister as well). It all adds up, then add shipping too. I'd love to find quality kits for cheaper if possible.<br /> THANKS! :) </p>
