Anyone made salt dough impressions before? Do I have to varnish/ pva them once I've baked them or…

If they dry out correctly you shouldn't need to do anything to them to seal them. I prefer to paint them when done though, gives a better finish.

Thanks @beffgoude, I think I've completely messed them up now anyway 🤦🏽‍♀️. I misread the temperature and they're a little burnt. Ha!.. Will try again tomorrow, ye i might paint them, they'll look a bit smarter x

@kshelley hopefully the paint can cover it for you as you've managed to get some lovely prints here ❤

@beffgoude Mine have softened a year on! I didn't know I had to treat them with anything, painted them straight. Do you think I can fix them at all?

@noshinxoxo where have you been keeping them? I use to have brodys footprint in the window wasn't sealed/painted and it went soft on the bottom, I just put it in airing cupboard and it hardened up again. So maybe try somewhere warm and dark to get moisture out again?

@beffgoude strangely it was on the windowsill in old house and did fine, but I put it in the showcase in new house and it softened :( do you think it's because I started standing them up on those little stands? But yeah I may try the oven again? Low heat :S
