Stocking Stuffer Ideas: Mini Mason Jar Christmas Clay Dough

 

The stocking stuffer. For some, an afterthought. A burden …

 

For others? An adventure. A challenge. An opportunity to stretch your creative muscles.

 

I fall into the latter group.

 

So when the folks at Ball Canning contacted me to see if I’d like to come up with some stocking stuffer ideas for their new mini mason jars, I was all over it. I mean, look how cute these 4 ounce Mini Mason Jars are …

How could I resist?

 

So I decided to create some fun Christmas Clay Dough. These 4 ounce jars are the perfect size to hold the clay dough … and the perfect size to fit in the stocking!

 

How To Make Christmas Clay Dough

Materials/Ingredients

Mini Mason Jars (4 ounce)

2 cups flour

1 cup salt

2 Tbsp Cream of Tartar

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 cups boiling water

20-40 drops red & green food coloring

Large mixing bowl & spoon

Gloves

Homemade Play Doh Recipe

Step 1: Mix together dry ingredients in large bowl. Create a well in the middle of the bowl for addition of wet ingredients.

Step 2: Pour in the 2 Tbsp of olive oil into the well.

Step 3: Pour in 2 cups of boiling water.

Step 4: Stir together immediately. Once mixed, let sit for 10-15 minutes to cool down.

Step 5: Using your hands, kneed dough to mix thoroughly. Separate into three equal sized balls.

Step 6: Using your thumb, make a hole in middle of dough. This is where you’ll be adding the food coloring.

Step 7: Add 20-40 drops of food coloring. The amount will vary on the brand of food coloring you use. I used McCormick brand and ended up adding 40 drops of red and 30 drops of green.

Step 8: Using your hands, gently fold the dough onto the food coloring and then knead color through dough. (I suggest wearing gloves for the mixing and kneading)
