Making Christmas decorations with children is a lovely way to slow down and enjoy the season’s simple magic. These easy Christmas clay decorations are fun to make together and can be shaped into little stars, hearts, trees, angels, and other festive shapes.
Children can enjoy rolling, cutting, and decorating the clay while creating something special to hang on the Christmas tree. They also make beautiful handmade gifts for family and friends. This simple, creative Christmas craft adds extra warmth and handmade charm to the holiday season.
Materials:
- Air-drying clay
- Christmas tree cookie cutters, stars, angels, anything with some festive shapes
- a rolling pin
- A straw or skewer for making holes
- Natural string or twine
- Gold Acrylic Metallic Paint or Acrylic Metallic Paint, Shimmering Silver
How to make the Christmas clay shapes:
Make small balls of clay, and flatten them with a rolling pin.
Cut the shapes
With a pointed stick, make a hole for hanging.
Leave them to dry, every few hours, start turning them so they dry evenly
When dry (it could be after a day or two), paint the shapes using golden metallic acrylic paint, or any colour you wish to match the themed tree
Let them dry on a plastic board or a similar surface.
Thread them through the hole and hang them on your tree!
