These adorable little snowmen ornaments are made from modeling clay and melted down to create a fun, crafty decoration for your tree!

Craft Supplies:

  • Crayola White Model Magic Clay
  • Orange/Black Puffy Paint
  • Large Cookie Sheet
  • Straw
  • String or Ribbon
  • Scissors

Directions:

  • First things first – take about an inch of white clay in between your hands and roll it into a ball.
  • Splat” it with your fingers to create the snowman puddle. It doesn’t need to be perfect either. Thickness depends on you.
  • Repeat for each snowman ornament you want to make today.
  • Now lay your flattened pieces on a clean cookie sheet.
  • One by one, take your orange & black puffy paint and paint on “snowman” embellishments like a hat, nose, dots for the mouth etc. on the clay pieces. You can also draw on other embellishments you see fit.
  • Once done, and before you set them aside to dry, be sure to use the straw to make a “hole” on the top of the clay piece.
  • Now set aside your cookie sheet covered in melted snowmen, in an undisturbed area to allow the clay to air dry for a few days. If need be – flip the snowman pieces over once a day, so it dries evenly on each side.
  • When they are completely dry – it’s time for the string! Simply cut off a piece of string, thread it through the hole and tie off.
  • Then display proudly for ALL to see!!!
