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.
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…
