Metallic Lustre Air Dry Clay Ornaments
6:00:00 AM
I love making things
with my kids, and there's something special about making Christmas ornaments
with them. If you have some air dry clay, some buttons, and some metallic
paint that kids can apply with their fingers, you can make some memories and some pretty spectacular Christmas
ornaments. This is perfect to trim your own tree or to give away as a gift.
Here's what you need (may contain affiliate links):
Silicone Mat
Fun buttons with lots of
texture
A small skewer or wooden
dowel
Paint
Ribbon for hanging on your
tree
Roll out a portion of
air dry clay on your silicone mat with a rolling pin (remember to use tools
that you don't use with food!) until about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Press buttons
all over the clay in a pleasing pattern.
Cut out the pattern with the cookie cutters. Use a dowel or skewer to poke a hole in the ornament for hanging. Allow to dry according to package directions.

The lightly apply the accent color, only touching the highlights of the piece. Allow paint to dry and then buff to a shine.
Thread a ribbon through the hole and hang on your tree.
Enjoy!
