Salt dough circle with weaving inside

After I did a circular weaving I found a recipe to make Christmas decorations out of salt dough, so I thought, let’s try a circle for weaving. It is around 25 cm in diameter and as you can see it is not a perfect circle but I like it like that.

Ingredients for the salt dough:

-        1 cup salt

-        1 cup flour

-        ½ cup water

-        1 tablespoon oil

-        1 tablespoon glue

Directions:

Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Heat on the stove at medium while stirring ingredients. Stir until it starts to stick. Put dough on the counter and start knead it.

Make the circle. With a toothpick make the holes around the circle. I used a penny to make the indentations on the circle.

I put it in the stove for 5-6 hours at 60 degrees Celsius.

I left it for a day before I start weaving. I started to put the thread through the holes around the circle. After that all I had to do was simple weaving with different sizes and colors.

Happy weaving
