Snowman Christmas Ornaments
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!!!
