A picture I found on Pinterest is what started it all.

I saw it a couple months ago and knew that I wanted to try to make something similar.

I knew I would never be able to make the same one because I just do not have the patience for perfection.

It is a good thing I like the rustic, half done look.

I used the air dry clay because I already had it on hand.

You can use the oven bake kind if you want.

We used Cookie cutters for the shapes and straws for the holes!

I really loved the straw idea.

I found it, here.

We used stamps I had laying around for these.

I got that idea from this site.

These were MY ornaments. I did not let the boys help.

I knew the moment I saw them on this site that I wanted them all for myself.

I let the boys have a say and help out with the others but not these.

It is good to be selfish sometimes.

At least for me.

These are pure boy.

My youngest had a starfish figure in his hand all day and so decided to use it for his ornament.

My oldest decided to use a pig for his…

I used jute/twine to hang them up.

I am really happy with how they turned out!

I am becoming addicted to homemade ornaments!

Anyone else having this happen to them?

I blame Pinterest.

It makes me think I can do things that I can not do…
