  • Natural Air Drying Clay – we used clay like this US/ UK but WHITE Clay like this would be fantasic too US/ UK
  • Small Christmas Cookie Cutters – e.g. Tree US/ UK or Reindeer US/ UK – note if using fondant cutters out of plastic, make sure you clean this quickly and thoroughly before using on food. Metal cutters are easier to clean.
  • Paint – spray paint would be the best finish – e.g. white spary paint US/ UK or gold spray paint US/ UK; thoguh acrylics work well too
  • Red ribbon for hanging

How to make Clay Cookie Cutter Ornaments:

Roll your clay out to approximately 0.5 cm. Try and get a smooth even surface.

Take a glass or cound cookie cutter and cut out your basic shape. Carefully lift the circle off the surface to make sure it doesn’t stick.

With a little water smooth edges.

Take your cookie cutter and cut out a centre. Very carefully lift the cookie cutter out.

Again, lift the clay ornament off the surface, to make sure it doesn’t stick, but also to smooth down with a little water.

Place on a surface for drying (e.g. old cutting board or baking paper) and finally add a hole for hanging with a toothpick or similar.

Again smooth any edges that need smoothing.

Let dry fully for 2-3 days.
