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
This Valentines day craft project shows you how to make a jar or decorative Valentines hugs and kisses.
Start by mixing your dry dough ingredients with a small amount of water. Your dough needs to be moist but not stick to your hands. Knead the dough until it is a soft smooth ball.
Roll out your dough 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 cut it into lengths to form a cross.
Place these onto the baking tray and place into a pre- heated oven (around 200'C) until the shapes are 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" On Valentines Day

We used this idea for real sugar cookies. My son (2)& daughter (4)were so proud. They gave the cookies to their Dad for Father's Day. *Brenda*
Have made these once out of biscuit dough, wrapped them and gave to mothers for mothers day gifts. Had to use pink icing as we could not get the dough a nice enough colour. They were a hit.
