Place the ball of clay between two pieces of plastic wrap. This will stop the clay from sticking to your rolling pin and work surface.
Roll the clay, going back and forth until the clay is just under 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3: Make the clay ornaments
Peel off the top layer of plastic wrap and push a cookie cutter into the clay.Repeat, fitting in as many shapes as you can.
Remove the clay from around the shapes, leaving the shapes in place.You can roll out more ornaments from the scrap clay if you'd like.
Push the end of a drinking straw into each shape to make a hole to hang the ornament.
Push a cookie stamp into the clay ornaments, firmly, but not hard enough to cut through the clay.We chose to place the stamp off-center at the edge of the ornaments, but you can place it wherever you'd like.
Lift up the stamp to see the impression made in the clay.
Allow the clay ornaments to dry for 24 - 48 hours.Flip the ornaments over half-way through, to dry the bottom of the ornament.
Step 4: Add an ornament hanger
To make an ornament hanger, cut a piece of twine about 8 inches long.
Fold the twine in half and tie a knot in the end.
Push the loop of the twine in from the back of the ornament.
Bring the knotted end forward through the loop and pull tight.
