Self-hardening stamped clay Christmas decorations

1   Roll out the clay to around 5 mm thick.

2   Cut out the clay with the cutter.

3   Dab the stamp in the ink pad. Avoid getting ink on the edges – if this happens, wipe it lightly with paper before stamping the clay.

4   Stamp the clay.

5   Pierce a hole in the ornament with a suitable tool – a flower stick was used here.

6   Make a print with spruce. Place spruce on the clay and roll over the spruce with firm pressure.

7   If desired, add stamp ink to the spruce.

8   "Stamp a name in the clay. Different versions can be made using your imagination, but remember to make hanging holes in all of them and attach string.

Inspiration   Tip: Do not allow the ornaments to bend and dry them between two pieces of cardboard on a flat surface (such as the cardboard from the box). Place a book on top as a press. Drying time is around two days, but may vary depending on how hot it is, but do not place them directly on a heat source."
