Step 1: Gather Your Materials

You will need air dry clay, a rolling pin, a butterknife, cookie cutters, twine or yarn, a straw, scissors, and paint (optional).

Also, my daughter and I used an old plastic tablecloth. It is especially useful if you decide to paint the ornaments.

Step 2: Roll It Out

First, using a rolling pin, prep the clay by making it thinner and evening it out.

Step 3: Make Your Ornaments

Then, using the cookie cutters, make your ornaments.

I used these beautiful cookie stamps I bought a few years ago from Target. They made for beautiful decor!

Once you use the cookie cutter, you may need a butterknife to clean up the sides of the ornament.

Also, you can use a little water to smooth the edges too.

Step 4: Make a Place for Twine & Dry

Then, using a straw, put a hole in the tops of the ornaments for twine.

You can leave the ornaments to dry overnight. Depending on the thickness of the ornaments, you may need to wait 24-72 hours for them to dry completely.
