DIY Olympic Medals
Salt Dough Recipe:
1 cup salt
1 cup salt
1 cup flour

Materials:
Acrylic Paints (gold, silver, and bronze)
Paint brush(s)
ribbon
Directions:
Shape Salt Dough into a circle about one cm thick. I used a mason jar lid to help shape it, but cookie cutters or other household items work great, too. Using a straw, poke a hole at the top (this

is where the string will go through).
Press a 1, 2, and 3 into each shape. I used molds from a Play-Doh(R) kit.
Place onto a baking sheet (I also used wax paper to help keep it from sticking) and bake for about 2 hours at 200 degrees, turning once during "baking."
Once they have cooled, it's time to paint!
Now your medals are ready!
