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!

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

  11. 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.

    1. 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!
