Salt Dough Easter Tags For Your Spring Gifts

How To Make Salt Dough Easter Tags For Your Spring Gifts

DIY Salt Dough Easter Gif Tags

Hi friends! 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 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!

Ready to learn how? Find all the details listed below, along with the salt dough recipe that is super easy to follow. Then make your own DIY spring gift tags within minutes, so you have a unique gift idea for your spring plans!

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 Gift Tags Craft Supplies Needed
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 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!

How To Make Salt Dough Easter Tags For Your Spring Gifts

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!
