How To Make Salt Dough Easter Tags For Your Spring Gifts

Salt Dough Tags For Easter

As we head into the spring and Easter season, it’s a great time to get creative with our little ones! Today’s Salt Dough Easter Tags tutorial is an easy-to-follow project that will encourage your kids imagination while sprucing up any type of gift you might be handing out this time of year!

With it only requiring 3 ingredients and a few pieces of decorating materials, this delightful activity can easily become the highlight of anyone’s day!

Decorating your finished salt dough cutouts can also work wonders for strengthening fine motor skills as well as creativity – so grab some supplies and let’s get crafting! Find all the details you need to know, below!

BTW – I decided to turn them into handmade tags for my spring gifts, but you also get creative and turn them into ornaments {perhaps for an Easter tree} or make impressive magnets out of them. All of which are great to gift this time of year, as well! Happy crafting, my friends!

Salt Dough Gift Tags Craft Supplies Needed

Roll up those sleeves today & make something handmade for the upcoming Easter holiday! Check out our Salt Dough Easter Gift Tags tutorial!

Craft Supplies:

  • 1 cup White Flour
  • 1 cup Salt
  • 1/2 cup Tap Water
  • Easter Cookie Cutters
  • Plastic Straw
  • Wax Paper On Cookie Sheet
  • Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes

Directions:

  • First things first – combine your measured out flour, salt and water in large mixing bowl.
  • Mix/knead the three ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth. Almost like pizza dough. If the dough is too sticky – add more flour. If too dry – add more water.
  • Now set your oven to the lowest temperature it will go.
  • Grab your mixing bowl and drop the dough on the flat surface. Roll out your salt dough mixture and start cutting out shapes with the cookie cutters. As you go along, keep re-rolling out the dough and cutting out shapes until it’s all gone.
  • At this point in time, if you want to make your cutouts into gift tags, use the straw to make a hole where the ribbon will go through.
  • When done cutting out the shapes, carefully lift them up and place each one on your cookie sheet, with wax paper on it. You will want to leave a little room between each one.
  • Now place your cookie sheet in the oven. Bake the salt dough tags for three hours, turning every hour.
  • When the time is up, pull the cookie sheet out and let it cool completely.
  • Now you are ready to decorate them with paint or other embellishments. Use orange and green for the carrots and white for the bunnies.
  • When done painting, let them dry completely.
  • Then use for gifts or even ornaments! The choice is yours on your finished salt dough Easter tags!
  • BTW – I tied our painted salt dough pieces to some plain fabric gift bags with some basic, thin craft ribbon. With a thin-tip Sharpie marker, you can easily address your gifts to a receiver or write a special message on the back.
