Learn how to make Baking Soda Easter Eggs to decorate your home for Easter. These baking soda dough ornaments are faster to make than salt dough ornaments.
I’ve been wanting to make salt dough ornaments for a while now and when I looked at the recipes I was kind of disappointed with how long they take to make.
Ok, they aren’t long to make, but require many hours in the oven. When you have kids who are excited to make something, waiting 3 hours plus cooling time.. is just too long.
I was really excited when I came across a Baking Soda Dough recipe from UrbanBlissLife!! I actually featured her recipe back in December at From Dream To Reality. She had created gorgeous Christmas ornaments, along with a couple of Star Wars ornaments! Very cool!
The baking soda dough recipe is great! It requires 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1 cup baking soda, 3/4 cup water and only takes about 1 hour in the oven at 175 degrees F.

I actually made the ornaments with my Mom and my daughters on Sunday. It was so much fun!
My Mom enjoyed painting them so much that she asked me to make more Easter ornaments so that she can paint them with my nieces and nephews.
Check out the AWESOME Easter Bunny she painted on one of the baking soda ornaments.
Here’s the cute Easter Bunny Gabrielle painted along with a lovely glittery egg ornament Emanuelle painted.
Gabrielle asked me to share this photo (her bunny rabbit with her favorite ornament).

Wow, these eggs are so cute! We have dough ornaments still left from when I was a child, so to see an updated version, it inspires me to get in the kitchen with the kids and get baking. Love these! I can't wait to try these!! Yours are adorable.

These turned out so cute, Christine! I agree--telling a child to wait 3 hours for the project to dry is just not possible. I'm not even patient enough for that!
