DIY Clay Hearts and Garland for Valentine's Day - So Much Better With Age

You probably know by now that I’m not a big crazy fan of red and love neutrals so this clay heart garland is perfect for decorating for Valentine’s Day in a neutral way.

And I love pink too so I added a few pink touches to these clay tags. These clay hearts and tags are easy and fun to make for Valentine’s Day and have less calories than chocolate, ha!

TUTORIAL:

1. Play with your clay until it becomes soft. Roll it out on a flat surface with a rolling pin (roll it out onto parchment paper then you can put the parchment paper on a baking sheet with the clay).

2. Cut  into desired shapes. Use different tools or textures to create unique pieces.

3. If you running string through them, poke a hole at the top.

4. Smooth edges with your fingers before baking.

5. Follow the directions on the package. I baked mine at 275 deg F for 30 minutes.

6. Let cool. Color, paint, draw on your clay!

I love how it turned out! I left my large hearts white because, well, I love white.

For the clay banner, I used a fine pink felt to fill in the hearts and arrows I made.

    Gorgeous, gorgeous! I posted about some salt dough hearts I made the other day, but I am loving the versatility an pure white color of yours.

    Have a great week!

    This is so cute. I’ve often wanted to do something with that clay but wasn’t sure just what. You make it look very easy.

    Wonderful to be co-hosting with you.

      Oh Christy, we are definitely kindred spirits. I don’t like red to wear either and only decorate with it at Christmas, haha. Thanks so much!
      Hugs,

    These are simply lovely. Love the way you strung them over the old box. The white against the aged wood is wonderful. I have pinned this and I am sure I will be giving your tutorial a try.
    Thanks for sharing,
