We added links for all the exact materials that we used to make our snowflake ornaments. Start by rolling out your clay with a rolling pin. Once the clay is smooth and evenly rolled, use the cookie cutters of your choice to create the shapes of the ornaments. After punching out your snowflakes, use a wooden skewer or pen to poke a hole through the top of the ornament to attach your ribbon or twine. Then, let the clay dry for at least 24 hours. The clay is self-hardening, so no need to throw it in the oven or anything. Once the snowflakes are hardened, paint the entire ornament with a layer of white craft paint.

When the paint dries, you can add your glitter. To keep the look of a classic snowflake, we used shimmery white glitter. The snowflake ornaments would also look gorgeous with metallic glitter or different red and green color schemes! Use a paintbrush to brush a thin layer of Mod Podge glue over the areas that you want to add the glitter. We recommend putting some newspaper under the snowflakes to catch your excess glitter. Add glitter to one side, let it dry and then repeat with the other side. And that’s it! Once our snowflakes were dry, we tied some red and white baker’s twine through the hole and added it to our Christmas tree. And our finished DIY snowflake ornaments were just as good as anything store-bought!

Of course, you can also use this cookie cutter technique to create all types of ornaments out of clay! We love this cookie cutter set with a huge variety of holiday shapes. And because everything is cut with cookie cutters, this project is great for kids. Find all of our Christmas projects here, or send us any suggestions for projects that you’d like to see on the site!
