Salt Dough Ghosts
Makes 2 ghosts or other creepy creatures!
What you will need:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup water
Whole cloves*
How to make your ghosts:
1. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt and stir until well combined. Addwater and stir until absorbed. Knead dough until smooth (you can add a little extra water 1 tablespoon at a time if dough is too dry).
2. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape dough into ghosts, making a flat base so it will stand upright. Use cloves* to make eyes and even a mouth, pressing the stems of the cloves into the dough. Place ghosts on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time until ghosts have hardened (about 2 minutes in total). Let ghosts cool.
