How do you make clay ornaments? Grab your Christmas cookie cutters and let’s find out how to make clay ornaments with air drying clay.

• It’s best to work on a hard, smooth surface. I lined the rolling area with parchment/baking paper because found that the clay was easier to lift from the paper, but that isn’t absolutely necessary.
• Take a chunk of modeling clay and knead it for a minute to warm it up.
• Place the clay on the work surface and begin to roll. Start rolling from the centre going outwards until the clay is approximately in 1/8 in/ 0.3 cm to 1/4 in/ 0.5 cm thick.

• To emboss a pattern, press the fabric on the clay and roll over with the rolling pin.
• Using cookie cutters, cut out as many holiday ornaments as will fit on the clay.
• Gently pull off the clay around the Christmas ornaments.
• Using a wooden chopping stick, make a hole in the top of each ornament.

• Smooth the edges with your fingers.
• Pick up each ornament and place on a lined cutting board or cookie sheet/tray to dry, making sure each ornament is as flat as possible.
• Let dry for 24 hours. Turn the ornaments and let dry for another 24 hours.
• Once completely dry, tie with ribbon or twine for hanging.
