Salt dough baby hand prints keepsake

My baby is turning one this week and I couldn't get his hand imprints yet.  This year passed on very quickly.  And haven't been able to upload most in the blog.  But finally decided to take his imprint by using the same old salt dough technique.

Things we need for this inexpensive art are as follows

1 . 1 Cup salt
2. 1 Cup plain flour
3 . 1/2 Cup water  to mix

Take everything in  a bowl and mix with some fork until get a play dough consistency. Add water if you need more.  Pat it in a shape that you would like it in.
I gave it a heart shape.

Now the biggest job is to get baby hand and foot imprints.  My almost one year old is very confident Walker and it's almost impossible to keep him in place.  So I buckled him up in the high chair and then pressed his tiny foot and hand against the dough.

After a few attempts I got the perfect imprint then put it into the oven to bake for an hour.

The result was impressive. Now the only thing left is to colour in some cute baby blue paint.
