For a smoother dough, use very fine sea salt. If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. To prevent the ornaments from puffing up during baking, prick them all over with a fork before placing them in the oven. Once cooled, decorate your ornaments with acrylic paints, markers, glitter, and other embellishments. Seal with a clear varnish for added durability.
