It’s camping season around here so when we decided to get creative recently, these smores came to mind!  We love smores as showcased in this smores cookie recipe, this Smore’s tshirt tutorial and these cinnamon bun smores.

 My friend Laura, at Me and My Inklings, has the cutest line of Kindness lunch notes, postcards and even a book that would make the best addition to this craft and the perfect gift!  Her little smore doodle inspired our design.

7. Bake the clay as directed in the oven.  For me this was 20 minutes at 200 degrees.

8. Once the clay has cooled, sketch a little face onto it using a fine tipped sharpie.  Thread a loop of twine through the hole in the center and you are done!

I love, love, love all of the little details on these ornaments!  And they were so simple to create!  A true win, win in our home.

Polymer clay crafting tips:

  • Work with a high quality product like sculpey clay.
  • Use plastic wrap in an air tight container to store clay.
  • Score where you want two pieces of clay to stick together.
  • Shape cutters work best on a flat, solid work surface.
  • A craft oven is not needed.
  • Bake at low temperatures to allow the clay to set slowly and prevent cracking.
  • You can find clay of all kinds of different colors at Michaels stores.

This is so cute! I’m planning to make this with my class. Is there a trick to How the string will hold up the ornament? It looks so perfect! I’m just struggling to understand how the string won’t come out of the bottom.
