DIY CLAY STAR ORNAMENTS

I looked everywhere for star shaped christmas ornaments this year and couldn’t find them anywhere. I stumbled upon a instagram post about air dry clay and I thought to myself, I could try and create some myself using air dry clay and lucky for me, it was a complete success and so easy to do.

WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO NEED

1 block of white air dry clay ( I purchased mine at opus art supplies)

1 rolling pin

1 silicon baking mat

1 small star cookie cutter

1 thin staw

1 roll of thin jute twine

1 pair of scissors

STEPS

Step one —  wash your hands before handling the clay.

Step two — lay out a clean silicon baking sheet.

Step three — 1/2 a package makes about 10 stars. Cut as much off as you wish to make.

Step four — roll out until about 1/4 - 1/2” thick

step five — use the star cookie cutter to cut out star shapes

step six — use straw to create a whole in the top of a star point to put your string through later

step — lay flat to dry on the baking mat overnight rotating a few times

step eight — thread jute twine through small whole once completely dried, double knot, snip the ends and hang from your Christmas tree.  

*** if you have left over clay, make sure to keep it in a sealed ziplock bag to ensure it doesn’t dry out and you can use it for another project.
