Holiday Paw Print Ornaments: A Paws-itively Adorable Craft! 🐾🎄

The holidays are a time for creating memories, and what better way to celebrate than with a personalized keepsake featuring your furry best friend? Not only are these ornaments ridiculously simple to create, but they’re also a delightful way to jazz up your tree, mantel, or any cozy corner of your home. Plus, they make amazing gifts for fellow pet lovers!

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Iodized Salt
  • 1/2 cup Warm Water
  • Let’s Get Crafty 🐾

    1. Preheat your oven to 300°F. 
    2. Mix your dough: Combine flour, salt, and warm water in a bowl. Knead until smooth—it should feel like playdough. (Pro tip: if it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.)
    3. Roll it out: On a floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. This thickness helps keep your ornament sturdy.
    4. Paw-sition the star of the show: Gently press your pet’s paw into the dough. (Treats are highly encouraged here for maximum cooperation!) Create any additional shapes you want and don’t forget to punch a small hole at the top for your ribbon.
    5. Bake it: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place your ornaments on top, and bake for 45-60 minutes until they’re hard. Let them cool completely before decorating.
    6. Decorate to your heart’s content: This is where the magic happens! Paint, glitter, or write your pet’s name and the year for a personalized touch.
    7. String it up: Add a ribbon through the hole, tie it off, and voilà—your pawdorable ornament is ready to shine!
