It’s time for the Creative Crafts Christmas Edition and together with Sculpey, we are creating for the holidays! Sculpey is the perfect medium to make Christmas ornaments with. Here in the south, monograms are all the rage and everyone loves a monogram. Sculpey® provided me with with Sculpey III and Sculpey Bake Shop clay and a modeling tool kit to create this adorable monogram ornament. This ornament could be attached to a gift and then placed on the tree afterwards!

Materials:

• Sculpey® Clays: Sculpey III in Granny Smith, Sculpey Bake Shop® in White and Red
• Sculpey Bake Shop® Modeling Tools
• Round Cookie Cutter
• Parchment Paper
• String or Ribbon
• Oven or Toaster Oven

How I made it:

I started by cutting the amount of clay that I thought I would need from each block and kneading it to soften it.

Once the clay was soft and easy to work with, I rolled out the white clay until it was about 1/4″ thick using the roller that came in the modeling tools pack. I also cut a small square piece to create the top of the ornament.

Using the pointed tool stick, I created a hole in the top part and then I scored the ornament to give it a shiplap look.

I then rolled out the green clay to create the border and then the red clay to create the monogram. I then added them to the white clay and pressed them down gently so that they stuck.

I preheated my toaster oven to 275 degrees and baked my clay for about 15 minutes per the instructions. Then I let it cool and added the ribbon.
