- Hello there- I’m Twinkle, an official Christmas tree ornament (Tannen is my best friend!). Everyone always has a favorite ornament (even if it can be hard to pick!). Why not make a new favorite this year with corn starch dough- you can leave it pale and paint it, or mix in some cinnamon for a great scent! It is a brighter white than traditional salt dough, and feels silky smooth. (don’t forget, puppy paws make great imprints. In fact, for an extra cute keepsake of puppy paws or little hand prints, take and bake one set with the imprint, cool, then push in a second blob of dough to make a relief of the special mitt and bake as instructed ).
