Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

Mix the flour and salt in a medium bowl.

Slowly stir in the water, then knead with your hands once it gets too tough to stir.

Lay out a sheet of parchment paper, then put half the dough on it. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top. Roll the dough out until it is an even layer, about ⅛ of an inch thick.

Cut out the star shapes, then remove the excess dough.

Poke a straw through the dough, towards one of the star points, to later be used to hang the ornament.

Place the parchment sheet on a large baking sheet, and bake in the oven for about 90 minutes. Check on the baking dough after 60 minutes though, as cooking times vary, especially depending on the thickness of your dough. You want the dough to be firm, and hard; then it is done.

Once the dough is cooked through, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

Put the star ornaments on cardboard and take them outside to spray with paint. Allow the paint to dry, then flip over and spray the other side. Add an additional coat of paint to each side, if needed.

Once ornaments are completely dry, cut 8 inch lengths of twine, and push one end through the hole on each ornament, and tie at the top.
