Directions:

  1. Roll a pea sized ball of clay into a 1.5″ length.  Repeat three times.  Roll twelve tiny balls into 1/4″ lengths.

2. Overlap the longer pieces of clay in the center of each length, creating a cross shape.  Then place the twelve smaller pieces at the end of each branch, creating a snowflake.  Tip: be sure to press down firmly so that the clay adheres to itself.

3. Place the snowflakes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 275 degrees fro 15 minutes per 1/4″ of thickness of clay.

4. Paint or stain the wooden rounds if desired.  We liked both the natural and stained look!

5. Use a hot glue gun to affix the snowflakes to the wood rounds.  Finally, tie with a length of bakers twine for hanging.

Have fun and experiment with different snowflake designs and patterns!

The sky is the limit when it comes to creating  clay snowflakes, I can see the kids having a blast coming up with all kinds of ideas.  We liked framing the snowflakes with the wood slices but this is totally optional too.  We found that the wood gave this ornament a more sturdy base and bit of contrasting texture.
