Here is a fun project to do with the kids or maybe the big kid in yourself over the Thanksgiving holiday!  I used this recipe to make ghosts for Halloween.

2 C. flour

1 C. salt

1 C. water

Mix salt and flour. Add in half the water, gradually add the remaining water. Knead until the dough is smooth.

For flat dough ornaments roll out the dough on baking paper. Use cookie cutters, cut-out templates, or just use your hands.

Dust dough with flour and begin to add details to the ornaments with a toothpick or knife.

Use a straw to make a hole so you can hang the ornament.

Baking: Time varies based on thickness of ornament
Temperature: 325°F.
Time: 1 1/2 hours - or until dry

Let cool. Paint with acrylic paints. Glue on beads, buttons, or any fun accessory. Use an acrylic varnish when everything is dry.
