Ok, so I know I've already posted the dough ornaments. But, I've had to make more initials since then for my children's playgroup, and while making them we created my favorite ornaments yet! My son was taking the dough and smooshing it down on the baking sheet. Well, I went to pull his dough up and re-use it and I noticed that his tiny little handprint was on the dough. That gave me the idea of making larger ""cookie" shaped ornaments and putting the kids handprints into them. So, I smashed out the dough into a roundish shape (you can use a rolling pin and round bowl to cut the shapes if you want it to look a little neater). I then pushed the kids' hands into the dough and baked. You can find the recipe and baking instructions in my blog titled "Dough Ray me faa so la te Dough".
When they were baked and cooled, I took some paint and painted the inside of the handprints and painted their name and the date on them. I finished them off by spraying glitter over them and sealed with a spray gloss, then hot glued a ribbon on the back for hanging (because I forgot to poke a hole before baking).
These are a great, easy, cheap idea for a present for grandparents.
