Did you happen to catch my craft post yesterday?

Continuing on with the gifting theme on Glued To My Crafts, today I’m sharing another clever way to dress up the spring/Easter gifts you may be handing out this year! This time we are making salt dough gift tags and I’m going to show you HOW!

This one is extra fun because the children can get involved in the making and decorating of the salt dough tag pieces.

I decided to turn them into gift tags, 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!

Find all the details listed below, along with the salt dough recipe and then make your own DIY spring gift tags within minutes!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished handmade salt dough gift tags on our facebook page to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

Salt Dough Easter Gift Tag Craft Supplies:

* 1 cup Flour
* 1 cup Salt
* 1/2 cup Water
* Easter themed cookie cutters
* Straw {to make hole in salt dough pieces}
* Wax Paper
* Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes

Directions:

* Combine flour, salt and water in large bowl. Mix/knead until smooth. If too sticky – add more flour. If too dry – add more water.

* Set your oven to the lowest temperature it will go.

* Roll out your dough mixture and cut shapes out of it {If you want to make gift tags, use the straw to make a hole where the ribbon will go through}

* Place wax paper on a cookie sheet.

* Lay out salt dough pieces on cookie sheet.

* Bake for three hours, turning every hour. Let cool.

* Decorate with paint or other embellishments. Let dry completely.

* Then use for gifts or even ornaments!

I tied our salt dough pieces to some fabric gift bags with some plain ribbon. It was really easy and I’m so happy my son got to participate too.

With a Sharpie, you can easily address your gifts to a receiver or write a special message on the back. I have a few more gift ideas in the works {including another idea to include kids in} So stay tuned!
