Water, flour, salt and imagination are the main ingredients for the paste of salt. We have already seen how to prepare the dough, as a model, how to color and how you finish. With the salt dough can be made decorations for Easter. These are jobs that will delight even very young children. What are the creations ideal for Easter? Of course the eggs, then the bells, bunnies, chicks and flowers, especially peach trees.

The experts can also try their hand at chores a bit 'more difficult, such as creating a basket for carrying eggs, or garlands to hang. What is needed to carry out the Easter decorations in salt dough? Eggs in salt dough. The process is simple: you have an oval shape in balls of dough, then insert hooks for hanging.

With a toothpick make the decorations on the eggs and add the flowers to be applied on top of the egg. Let dry, then stained and varnished. Chicks in salt dough. If you can arrange the molds for cookies in the shape of chick, that's it! Otherwise the chicks molded by hand (not hard).

Tie the ribbons around the necks of chickens and take a bow. The same procedure applies to the bells: if you can arrange the molds for cookies, just spread the dough with a rolling pin.
