- Roller.
- Scalpel.
Our Process
Firstly, we will knead the clay well and we will stretch it on a smooth surface until we obtain a 1 cm thick plate.
Then, we will cut this stretched clay mass with the different cutters and the circular pasta cutter to obtain the different shapes.
Then with a pencil we will make the hole and then hang them. As they are still soft, we can mark our messages with the help of the scalpel or with word molds.
Then we will let it dry 24 hours and to give it that characteristic hardness we will put it in the oven or microwave to be faster.
Lastly, we will decorate our figures of clay with the gold marker and we will put the rope to hang them on our Christmas tree.
