Scandinavian-Inspired Clay Ornaments

With Christmas only a few weeks away, it’s time to start decking the halls and trimming the tree. These clay ornaments are a snap to make, and their soft matte-white finish gives them a crisp, modern look. Pair the ornaments with birch tones and red accents for a Scandinavian-inspired holiday.

SUPPLIES

STEP ONE

Roll out clay with rolling pin until it is about a 1/4″ thick.

STEP TWO

Cut shape with cookie cutter.

STEP THREE

Use a toothpick or pin to make a hole in the top edge of the ornament as shown. Make sure the hole is large enough to fit twine or ribbon. Set aside and let dry for 24-48 hours.

STEP FOUR

Cut a length of twine and fold it in half. Place a small amount of glue on the end and twist together. Insert into hole on ornament, adding a little more glue if necessary.
