Mix together and separate into 6 parts. Form into ghosts (or anything else you think is appropriate). Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until firm. Let cool.
Draw on faces or accents with permanent marker.
I also came up with a cute idea for a little garland - I just found freely available coloring pages of leaves, printed out multiple leaves on each page, colored them, and strung them along some rope that I had for bead stringing. It was another great thing for my son and I to do together.
I know these aren't very grand, but it makes me happy to have home made decorations in my home, and to know I really didn't spend a cent to do it.
(and one more note - ignore all the other stuff on top of my TV!)

Your salt dough ghosts look really great.Next time, if you add 1/8 teaspoon of alum to your mixture, your ghosts will last forever!

Hey, this is a very good idea you have going. I would like to make some things to go on my Christmas Wreath this year. I'm tired of the old ones I have now. I can make new ones and wont have to spend to much. Great idea, thinks.

Thanks ladies! Yeah I was thinking this technique could be used for many decorations. I recently saw something published online about making christmas ornaments out of salt dough. Great idea for saving some money on those way-too-expensive decorations!
