• ½ cup hot water
• ½ cup salt
• 1 cup flour
• Acrylic Paint
• Matte Finish Mod Podge
• Glitter
• Ribbon
• Gold Paint Pen or Sharpie

Directions

• Mix together the hot water, salt and flour. Kneed it together with your hands until it forms a dough ball. If its too sticky, add some extra flour.
• Roll out the dough until it is ¼ inch to ½ inch thick.
• Use small plastic cups to cut out circle shapes.
• Gently press your dogs paw into the center of the circle to make an imprint.
• Use a drinking straw to cut a hole for the ribbon.
• Transfer the circles to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 225F for 2 to 3 hours until they are solid and completely dried out.
• Once they have cooled, paint the ornaments in colours to match your pups personality.
• Write your dogs name and the year on the front or back of the ornament using a gold paint pen or Sharpie marker.
• Add a coat of Matte Finish Mod Podge and sprinkle it generously with glitter.
• If you only want the imprint filled with glitter, allow the first coat of Mod Podge to dry completely. Then add a generous second coat to the inside of the paw print and sprinkle it generously with glitter.
• String a ribbon through the hole to hang your ornament.
• If you want you can attach an extra ribbon or bow tie to the ornament using hot glue.
