Fathers day. Making fingerprint keyrings. I need help! Please!

[BrightSparkles]

I used a recipe to make a dough from pinterest that you then bake and paint. FAIL!

I'm trying to make a fingerprint keyring for DH for fathers day. I'm not sure what else to try. Has anyone made these kinds of things? What did you use? How did you do it?
I currently have 6 attempts here all of them wrong.
has anyone used clay to do it??

It would be the same thing LS just in a keyring size i'll google the recipie and see what i find.

This is the recipe I used...footprint dough.jpg I did need to bake it about twice as long as it says though for it to harden properly. (It is FAHRENHEIT, not celcius too)

thanks ladies - there's FD sorted.

Lime - did you paint after baking and if so, what sort of paint?

[LimeSlice]

Lulu - no, I actually used a gel food colouring when I made the dough, the girls chose yellow.

ETA: I also used a pointy wine bottle stopper to put two holes in it before we baked it, for a ribbon to go in after for hanging.

Never with a home-made clay, only with Fimo, available from craft shops.
