Sheep Salt Dough Ornaments
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from the farm and I made sheep salt dough ornaments! Our first Christmas here hasn’t exactly looked or felt like I thought it would. You see our beautiful Christmas tree completely shed all of its needles about 2 weeks after having it. And yes we watered it! Apparently this is just something that happens once in awhile.
So we have no tree this Christmas morning. I also took down all the rest of our greenery after we removed the tree because WHAT A MESS! Lol! And I didn’t want to have to clean it up twice. Also our sweet old man kitty is sick and this could very well be our last Christmas with him.
But last night I was thinking how this Christmas has reminded me about what is important and why we celebrate this season and for that I am grateful.

Sheep Salt Dough Ornaments
Anyway, I made some cutie little sheep salt dough ornaments for our tree and even though I was only able to hang a handful (otherwise our tree would have been completely bare for these pics ha) I think they turned out sweet!
Salt Dough Recipe
- 1 cup table salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup water
- sheep cookie cutter
- straw
- string
Mix dry ingredients then add water. Roll out your dough and cut. Then I used a straw to make a hole for the string. I let mine air dry overnight on a cookie cooling rack. That’s it!

These ornaments are a perfect little farmhouse touch and they’re actually a hint at something really exciting that will be coming to Midcounty Farm this spring! 😉
I hope you’re spending today with those you love and making wonderful Christmas memories! Have the merriest Christmas friend!

So sorry about your tree, your ornaments are lovely. I enjoy your blog so much. You and your husband are so handy, I love to see how your new home is coming along. Have a wonderful New Year!
Kind regards, Sammy

Just catching up, Love the little sheep! Sorry about your tree, but have you done any research on pine being toxic to cats? I know that juniper is, and pretty sure I read that some varieties of pine are as well. Thought I’d pass this along. I’m so sorry about your kitty, I know that pain of loss all too well having just lost my Heart dog. If I can’t live my farmhouse dream, I’m sure glad you can!
