Clay Snowflake Ornament

Hello again lovely readers!  I’m back again with another handmade Christmas ornament.  This time I decided to break out the air dry clay again.  I absolutely love the clay tags and clay cake stand I made recently, so I figured why not an ornament too!

ink

cookie cutter

sandpaper

ribbon

DIY Clay Ornament

This ornament is super quick and simple to make.  It would even be a great project to let your kids try.

Roll out a small amount of clay with a rolling pin.  Use a cookie cutter to cut out a circle of clay.

Stamped clay ornament

Use your stamps and ink to stamp on a design.  I used several snowflake stamps and then used alphabet stamps to spell out Let it Snow.  But you could use any Christmasy stamps you happen to have.

Use a pen or nail or whatever is handy to poke a small hole for hanging.

Once your clay has fully dried (usually overnight), gently sand the edges of the ornament with a piece of sandpaper to smooth the edges.

String it on a piece of ribbon and hang it on your tree!

    Could you email me what where you get the clay. Like Michael’s or from a pottery studio? I love this idea. Thank you for sharing, I have wanted to do this for a while. I purchased some from Etsy and was wondering how it was done.

      I ordered my clay from Amazon. It is the kind that air dries which makes it super easy. You could also get clay from a store like Michael’s – most of their clay needs to be dried in your oven but that is definitely doable as well. Plus that type of clay is a little cheaper.
