Jar Of Hugs & Kisses

Jar Of Hugs & Kisses

Pink and Red Acrylic paints
Decorative Jar with lid (cork or screw)

For Baking Dough you Will need:
3 1/2 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
1 1/2 - 2 cups of water

Start by mixing your dry dough ingredients with a small amount of water. Your dough needs to bemoist but not stick to your hands. Knead the dough until it is a soft smooth ball. Roll out yourdough and using a sharp knife or a heart shaped cookie cutter cut 3- 4 hearts out of the dough(make sure they are small enough to fit into your Jar bottle). Set the hearts down onto a lined baking tray and proceed to cut out some X's for Kisses. You can make a long roll of dough and cutit into lengths to form a cross.
Place these onto the baking tray and place into a pre- heated oven (around 200'C) until the shapesare hard and golden.
Allow the shapes to cool. Paint them using the acrylic paints. We painted ours pink for the hearts and red for the kisses.

Once the paint has dried, place them into the jar and secure the lid.

It would be nice to tie a nice big bow of ribbon around the lid along with a small gift card saying
"Love and Kisses"
