Instructions

1. Prepare the Clay: Roll out your air-dry clay to a thickness of ¼ to ½ inch. For a smooth finish, place wax or parchment paper over the clay and roll over it gently.
2. Cut Your Shapes: Use holiday-themed cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes like stars, trees, or even snowflakes.
3. Make a Hanging Hole: Use a pencil or skewer to create a hole at the top of each ornament for the twine.
4. Dry the Ornaments: Place the cut-out ornaments on a lined cookie sheet and let them air-dry for 1-2 days. Thicker ornaments may take longer to dry completely.
5. Optional Painting: Once the ornaments are fully dried, paint them with holiday colors or designs if desired. Let the paint dry completely before moving to the next step.
6. Add the Twine: String the twine through the hole and tie a knot to create a loop for hanging.
7. Scent Your Ornaments: Add 1-2 drops of your favorite essential oil to each ornament. Pine, cedarwood, or cinnamon scents work wonderfully for a festive touch.
8. Hang and Enjoy: Hang the ornaments on your tree and enjoy the fragrant, personalized charm they bring to your holiday decor.
