Salt dough

Salt dough tips PLEASE!
I’m working with salt-dough ( baker’s clay) for the first time. If anyone has any experience please give me some guidance. For example what kind of flour do you think works best. Wheat? White? What sealers work best? What doesn’t work at all?

Little info: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and I wanted to make something I can sale at my salon during the Christmas season to help raise money since they are building on at the shelter and are really needing any extra funds they can get. I’m making primitive looking dog biscuit ornaments (people in my area are really into the whole primitive thing). Basically wire, torn ribbon and I will put the persons pets name on the bone with a paint pen. I thought that salt dough would look more like a milk-bone than polymer clay and is a heck of a lot cheaper on me since I’m giving all the proceeds to them. Just so you guys know what I’m trying to make. Thanks for any help at all!!!
