Air Fryer Salt Dough Ornaments

Air Fryer Salt Dough Ornaments are unique! Today, I sat down with my kids and made a batch for Valentine’s Day! But these are the perfect craft anytime, and the Air Fryer does a great job making these. So, even if you have never made any before, this is a great and easy craft.

This is a great and easy project, and I am sure that when St. Patrick’s Day comes around, I will be making another batch with my kids. I made these with my mom when I was a child for Easy Christmas Ornaments. And we would then give them out as ornaments to our family and friends.

This is a base recipe, meaning you can use whatever cookie cutter, paint, or decorations that you want–add them. If your child loves glitter, add some, love some sparkles, add some, and love the color green, paint them bright green!! It’s that simple.

How To Make Air Fryer Salt Dough Ornaments

Add the flour and salt in a large bow with your hands or a stand mixer’s body. With the dough hook, stir to combine. Slowly pour in the water while stirring; once a dough starts to form, turn the mixer on medium and knead for a few minutes until smooth dough ball forms.

Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees F, divide the dough into four sections. Working with one area at a time, place it on a piece of parchment paper. Roll out the dough, so it’s 1/4th of an inch thick.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out your ornaments. Peel off the excess dough from around the decorations and set it aside. You can use the leftover dough to make more ornaments. Using a skewer or straw, make a small hole in the ornament where you will want to hang it from. Place the parchment paper into the heated air fryer, or you can place the ornaments directly into the basket, not touching—Air Fry for 30 minutes or until completely dried out.

Repeat with the remaining dough and ornaments. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Paint your ornaments with acrylic paint. Let dry completely. Add a thin coat of glossy mod podge, let dry thoroughly, then seal the other side. Add a ribbon as a hanger.
