Christmas Dough Art (Microwave)
4 c All-purpose flour
1 c Salt
1 1/2 c Hot water*
*Instant coffee added to water gives dough "browned" color.
Knead dough 6 - 8 minutes. Roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters into desired shapes. Place on wax paper on glass tray; with a toothpick, make several holes in each piece to let air escape, then microwave on high for about 2 minutes. Time will vary according to size of "cookies." When baked, allow to cool before decorating.
As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.

Craft Tips
1.When working with beads keep them on a terry cloth towel or piece of Fun Foam to prevent them rolling away.
2.Tissue Paper, Crepe Paper or Paper Twist can usually be used interchangeably in most projects.
3.Contact Paper can be used to protect paper or card stock when you don't have a laminator. You can use clear on the front and a patterned Contact Paper on the back.
