    Easy Clay Snowflake Ornaments

    By Stacy 8 Comments

    I decorate our tree a different way every year but I try to not Spend very much money. I usually only buy a few new things and either reuse things from past years or make them. Today's homemade ornaments are these easy clay snowflake ornaments made out of polymer clay!

    I love these ornaments because they are so simple, don't create a mess, and the kids can help make them.

    Polymer clay is one of my favorite things ever! It is the best choice of clay for ornaments because it never dries out. It only hardens when you bake it. It is not messy and it is easy to work with. There is no reason to seal it. Bake it and you are good to go! You can get it at any craft store, Walmart, or on Amazon. It comes in pretty much any color. You can even paint it!

    You only need a few things to make these clay ornaments!

    Supplies:

    *Rolling Pin

    *Toothpicks

    *Polymer Clay

    *Cookie Cutters

    I have some snowflake cookie cutters I bought last year that were the perfect size for ornaments.

    Step 1:

    You need to soften up the clay by working it in your hands. It seems really hard at first but it will become very soft and pliable in no time. No not try and microwave it to speed up the process. Once it is soft, you can roll it out. How thick should polymer clay ornaments be? I usually roll mine out to be about ¼ of and inch but you could probably get away with a bit thinner.

    Step 2:

    Once it is rolled out you can use the cookie cutters to cut out the shapes. This set of mini cookie cutters were the perfect size for ornaments!

    Step 3:

    We used toothpicks to draw designs on them. We also experimented with pressing different fabrics on them to create texture too. Make sure to make a hole at the top that the wire or string will fit through so you can hang them later.

    Step 4:

    Once they were done, we put them on oven safe plates and baked them at 275 degrees fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

    I think they turned out beautiful and just like real snowflakes, no two are alike!

    Do you make your own ornaments? What is your favorite kind to make?

      I get sentimental about Christmas ornaments, so I love the idea of having the kids make them. They'll always be special. My son likes to make origami ornaments.

      i love it love it that you include your children in so many activities. it particularly hit home with me as we were uncovering items in our soon to be move. My daughter made the decision to let some of ornamens and decorations she had created with me so many years ago. Neither of our households will be able to incorporate many of the larger items so we enjoyed some memories and placed them in the Salvation Army donation area of the porch for their scheduled pickup. Hopefully, someone elses Christmas will be enhanced by them. Thank you Merry CHristmas and keep up the good work on making memories.

      Hey, Stacy-
      Love this idea! And the cookie cutter shape look so polished. I will try this soon!
      Are the snowflakes laying on the napkins on the table something you made as well?

        Thanks! The snowflakes on the napkin are plastic and I got them from Walmart a couple of years ago but they also had them stocked last year.
