Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup salt

1 ½ cups warm water

Favorite doTERRA essential oils

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

  2. Pour flour, salt, and warm water into large bowl.

  3. Using your hands, knead until all ingredients are well-incorporated and dough is smooth.

  4. If mixture is too dry, add one tablespoon of water at a time until dough comes together.

  5. Roll out dough on floured surface until ¼ inch thick.

  6. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. Using a drinking straw or toothpick, make a hole in top of ornament for threading string.

  8. Place in oven until hard, approximately one hour.

  9. Once hard, remove from oven and cool.

  10. Decorate with paint, string, or glitter. Add essential oils by placing one drop on each ornament and allow it to soak in.

Tip: Add some decoration to your ornaments by stamping them. Just place stamp on ink and carefully place on ornament to transfer design before they dry.

Note:

Baking the ornament will turn the dough slightly brown and may "puff" up some of the ornaments. If you prefer, you can also air dry the ornaments for two to three days to help the ornaments remain white and flat.

I took this recipe from the Doterra Site...here is the to the original post:
