Fun #DIY Salt Dough Crafts To Make For Mom

So, what shall we make mum for Mother’s Day? How about something with
Pacific Sea Salt?

But first, a little information about this pristine salt will come in handy.
Pacific Natural Sea Salt is harvested from the southern oceans around New
Zealand. The sea water is evaporated in solar salt fields using a natural
process of sun and wind. It's gathered once a year to preserve the delicate
balance of minerals present in the salt.
Here are 5 creative gifts that Mom will love.

   holes in the dough with the straw, or poking glass beads into the
