Today’s post is a little different as it the focus is the inside of the gift- I did work in some Close to my Heart product in the wrapping of my gifts as you will see in the second photo. Gingerbread play dough is the BEST handmade gift idea for small kids. All natural, home made and it smells soooooo good! To make your gingerbread playdough you will need to mix the following items into a large bowl:
2 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
1 tablespoon of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 cup of water
Mix it all together and when it becomes hard to mix with a spoon you can knead it with your hands. Then you are done!!
To wrap my gift I placed the dough in mason jars- covered the lid with some of the CTMH sarita fabric and tied it off with seam binding ribbon. I tied a gingerbread man cookie cutter onto the ribbon. To top off the gift I added a scallop circle to the top and a while circle stamped with a christmas sentiment. I cannot wait to give these to the many special little people in our life!
