Every year the girls and I make ornaments. Usually we use model clay and press a handprint or footprint into the ornament but to my surprise this year, the ornament would have had to have been pretty large to capture their full print! It caught me off guard and is just another reminder how fast they are growing.
Once I collected myself I scrambled to figure out what to make and remembered I had a few holiday cookie cutters. Voila!
Supplies for Ornaments:
- Model Air Clay
- Holiday Cookie Cutters
- Decorative Paint/Markers
- Pencil
- Ribbon
Grab a section of clay and roll it out, it should be at least an inch thick, you don’t want it too thin. Use the cookie cutter to create the shape. Then take the pencil and create a small hole at the top, large enough to thread a piece ribbon through. Let the clay air dry for 24 hours.
Once it’s dry, it’s time to decorate! Use paint and markers to bring your ornament to life! Then thread your ribbon through the top and hang it on the tree!
There’s always so much added stress during the holidays I love a craft I know will turn out the way I intended! 🙂
