Today, I’m part of an ornament blog hop, and you will love all the creative projects my friends are posting. I love this community that Krista from The Happy Housie has brought together. So enjoy all the other ornaments this Christmas!

This easy Christmas ornament DIY is so fun that I made about 40 ornaments. My dear friend Leslie from My 100 Year Old Home showed me how to make this cool craft. Well, I also love glitter, so I encouraged her to use my Hobby Lobby glitter. This glitter is the best, and I shout it from the rooftops on every glitter post.

Make this easy clay ornament this holiday. Add a bit of crystal clear glitter to add a bit of sparkle and attach a cotton twine string to hang it from the tree. This is such an easy holiday diy that even your kids will love joining in on this project. #crafts #kidcrafts #ornaments #christmasornaments

Have you ever worked with Sculpey, the clay?

It is a great clay that you can mold, shape, and roll out, and then you can let it air dry or bake. If you want your item to harden, then you’ll want to bake it. My husband used it when he was an art teacher many years ago. I love that once I rolled out the clay, I could make quite a few ornaments. I’m all about making a lot of something!

Make this clay ornament this holiday. Add a bit of glitter to add a bit of sparkle and attach a cotton twine string to hang it from the tree. This is such an easy holiday diy that even your kids will love joining in on this project. #crafts #kidcrafts #ornaments #christmasornaments

Easy Christmas Ornament DIY

 

Supplies:

Sculpey

Snowflake Cookie Cutter

Rolling pin

Parchment paper

Hobby Lobby Glitter

Skewer or pencil

glue and watercolor brush

Black and white baker’s twine

 

Instructions on how to make an easy Christmas ornament DIY

1. Sculpey can be stiff, and so it is useful to prep the clay. You can do this by working with your warm hands. Just squish it in your hands, and the clay will become more flexible.

2. In the meantime, place a sheet of parchment paper down on the counter.

3. Roll out clay to about 1/4 inch or so in thickness on top of the paper.

4. To prevent the clay from sticking to the paper while you roll it out, make sure to peel it off the paper and flip it to the other side. Do this a couple of times.

5. Cut out your snowflakes and poke a hole with your skewer at the top of the ornament. Next, place the snowflakes on a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake at 275 degrees for 15 minutes.

7. When they come out of the oven, they are a bit soft, and as they cool, they get hard.

8. Apply slightly watered down glue to one side of the ornament and sprinkle it with glitter. After it is dried, paint another layer of glue on the other side and sprinkle with glitter.

9. Thread a piece of cotton twine through the hole and tie a bow. Hang your ornament on your tree.

This time of year is super busy around here. I feel like every day, I have a project due. Well, I’m over exaggerating a tiny bit. Well, I worked in my living room and these ornaments over the past couple of days. Here is a peek at my Balsam Hill Christmas trees and my homemade clay snowflake ornaments.

Thanks so much for joining me on this Easy Christmas Ornament DIY, and I hope you have a chance to make these cute ornaments.

Cheers,

    When I was first married I had some wooden ornaments that I made that looked very similar to these. I painted the wooden snowflakes, glittered them, and added eye hooks. We used those things for years.
