How to make
* Mixing Bowl
* 1 Cup of Flour (Plus a Small Amount Extra for Dusting)
* ½ Cup of Salt
* ½ Cup of Water
* Wooden Spoon
* Rolling Pin
* Easter Cutters
* Greaseproof Paper
* Baking Tray
* Cocktail Stick

* Acrylic Paint - Various Pastel Colours
* Varnish
* String
Mix together the flour, salt and water in a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture well and then knead it into a ball.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out different shapes using the Easter cutters. Use the cocktail stick to make holes in the top of each shape.
Line the baking tray with greaseproof paper and place your shapes on top. Bake in an oven at 120°C for around 2 hours.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool fully before decorating.
Paint a base coat on each decoration and leave to dry fully. Then add some details using a thin paintbrush and leave to dry.
Now give each decoration a coat of varnish to seal the designs, and allow to dry.
Finally, thread each decoration with a length of string.
