    Thank you!  I kept finding recipes for 12+ hand prints and I didn't need that many.  Did you use this one, and do you know about how many hand prints it will make?

    so, butting in. You don't cook these ornaments? Am I missing something? This sounds like a fun craft for today. I am used to clay that you bake. How do they get hard?

    Oh, I didn't see that part was missing, here's the directions for the 12 hand prints, it says 300 degrees:

    40 min | 20 min prep

    12 small hand prints

    4 cups flour
    1 cup salt
    1 1/2 cups water
    Combine ingredients and knead dough for 15 to 20 minutes.
    Roll dough out and cut around hand or cut circles out for making hand imprints. Use cookie cutters for ornaments or gift tags. If necessary, slightly dampen pieces to make them stick together.
    Make a small hole for the hanger and prick to prevent air bubbles.
    Bake at 300?F about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. You may have to bake considerably longer depending on how thick your items are. They may not feel hard right away but will harden as they cool.
    Paint and decorate as desired. Acrylic paints work best and use a varnish to make them shiny.
