Steps
- Gather the tools and materials listed above.
- Use the rolling pin to roll the clay out flat. You can use a sheet of wax paper underneath to stop it sticking to the surface.
- Cut your shapes out of the clay using the cookie cutters, then poke a hole at the top of each shape with the needle for hanging.
- Smooth out the edges with your fingers. Allow the clay to dry and harden for twelve hours.

This garland went straight to my heart. EXTREMELY cute!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tania, we’re so happy you like it!!
Do you have a trick for getting the clay out of those snowflake cookie cutters? By the time I was done getting the clay out from the cookie cutter my snowflakes looked pretty martian. Thanks!
Oh no! Try adding a little cooking spray or a light rub down with olive or coconut oil.
