NBR: Salt dough ornament ?

I want to make ornaments with DDs footprints in them for the grandparents for Christmas. I have a crap ton of sugar, but not a lot of salt. Does anyone know if you can use sugar as a salt substitute? I can't seem to find anything online that explains if the salt is used for texture or actually serves another purpose that would make the dough not work if it isn't used....

    I'm pretty sure the salt is what makes it dry hard?? I am certainly no crafter, though.

    I'm pretty sure it has to be salt... I've never heard of it being made any other way. Good thing is salt is pretty cheap.

    I'm pretty sure the sugar would break down and decompose not to mention lure all sorts of creepy crawlers. Stick with salt!
