Air Dry Clay Ornaments

December 23, 2017 by Elaine Robitaille

Emma, from Gathering Beauty, used thickly rolled air dry clay to make these ornaments. She left them white and simple and added bakers twine to hang them with. I like the plain whiteness with cute messages and they would be great accents on trees. This is a good spin on classic cookie cutter ornaments.

You could do thick cut ornaments with your oven bake clay but you might want to use the souffle to keep the weight down.

Are you looking for a creative and unique way to spruce up your Christmas tree this year? Air dry clay Christmas ornaments are a great option!  Not only are they easy to make and customize, but they look beautiful and elegant, too.

Plus, they’re much more affordable than traditional glass or plastic ornaments. All you need is some air dry clay, a rolling pin, and a few cookie cutters to get started. You can roll out the clay, cut out shapes with the cookie cutters, and let them air dry overnight.

Once they’re dry, you can paint them in any color or pattern you like. You can even make personalized ornaments with names or special messages written on them. And when you’re done, you can hang them on your tree for years to come. So if you’re looking for a unique and beautiful way to decorate your tree this year, look no further than air dry clay Christmas ornaments.

Looking for air-drying clay? We highly recommend Das Air dry clay, we have been using this product for over 30 years. Check out their Das White Air drying clay and their Terracotta Air drying clay version for a natural pottery feel. For larger crafts we recommend buying your air drying clay in bulk.

If you are in Australia Kmart Air drying clay is also great for beginners.
