Heart n Home Dough Ornies

I really don't think there are any limits on the kind of Dough Ornies you can make. These primitive Heart n Home Dough Ornies are a perfect example.

I used my usual Primitive Dough Recipe to make these. And to create the shape itself I used a silicone candle mold. I love to use the silicone molds because the dough doesn't stick. And the mold I have for the heart n home shape has 4 shapes in it, so I can do 4 dough ornies at one time. I used to use a cookie cutter for these, and that just takes too long to do! The silicone mold makes the whole process go much faster.

Now of course these are just plain dough, but you could paint them instead of just dipping them in wax. Or you can do what I do when I want color on an ornie: use powdered tempera paint mixed in with the dough. Then no painting is necessary! But in that case I would seal with a clear acrylic spray, rather than dipping in wax. And these particular primitive ornies look really cute with a piece of primitive homespun tied to them too! Hang them somewhere, or use them as primitive bowl fillers for a cute prim touch.
