How to make colourful salt dough eggs

  • Step one: Prep and mix 

    Pre-heat the oven and mix 1 cup of plain flour (250g) and half a cup of salt (125g) in a large bowl. Add half a cup of water (125g) and stir until it comes together into a ball.

  • Steps two & three: Shape and bake

    Roll out your dough and cut into egg shapes using an egg shaped cutter. Make a hole at the top. Place onto a non-stick baking tray and pop them into the oven for 2-3 hours or until solid.

  • Step four: Time to decorate!  

    Try a rainbow, stripes, or even paint a bunny onto it! Seal with PVA glue and wait for it to dry. Then pop a ribbon through the hole and hang up around your home!
