Handmade tree Ornaments #4- Cornflour Clay Ornaments

As I mentioned the other day...I decided to make all my tree ornaments this year because my color theme & Christmas decor is so totally different from anything else I have done before & wonder of all wonders I actually got myself organised enough to take photos of my creative process.

Here is no. 4: (Scandinavian style)

#4 handmade cornflour clay ornaments!

Supplies:

• Cornflour
• White School glue
• Mixture of letter stamps
• Motif stamps or wood veneer
• Straw to make a threading hole
• Cookie cutters
• Decorative twine for hanging

• Measure out glue & cornflour using the ratio 2:1
• Mix well together in an old dish. It will be super sticky.
• Once mixed, tip out and knead well with extra cornflour to coat your hands.
• Roll out to desired thickness. 
• You have to work quickly not to obtain well defined imprints.
• Push doily or doily stamp into clay, making a sharp impression.
• Using cookies cutters, cut into a variety of shapes.
• Use a drinking straw to make a threading hole at the top of the shape.
• Using letter stamps & motifs decorate shapes.
• Allow to air try for 24 hours.
• Take glass sand paper smooth off any rough edges, thread with twine & hang.

So glad you stopped by!

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you all!
