Gifts with selfmade ornaments

Unwrapping Christmas presents is twice as joyful when the packaging itself is a real eye-catcher. Neutral colors and materials – true to the motto Less is MOAR – create a harmonious look under the Christmas tree.
And as a little extra, here’s a simple recipe for salt dough ornaments – the perfect DIY idea to give every gift a personal touch.

For the gift wrapping we used:

• Beige, white, and black kraft paper
• Natural jute twine
• Black-and-white cotton string
• Scissors
• Adhesive tape
• Rosemary, fir branches, etc.

SALT DOUGH TAGS

• 100 g salt

Instructions:

• Mix all the ingredients and knead them into a smooth dough.
• Roll the dough out thinly (about 0.5 cm).
• Cut out circles (other shapes can also be used).
• Use a skewer or straw to make a hole for hanging.
• Write the initials of your loved ones with a skewer or press them in with a stamp.
• Dry them in the oven at 100°C for about 2–2.5 hours.
