New Craft - Clay Tags

My love of all things Pinterest resulted in trying out a craft. I was going back and forth between trying salt dough or white clay. For this trial, I used white clay that you bake in the oven for about 15 minutes per 1/4" of thickness.

I used a circle cookie cutter that was about 3" in diameter, some stamps and ribbon. Here's the result:
First attempt - Clay Holiday Tags/Ornaments  (excuse the poor quality phone photo)
I wanted to keep them white & didn't mind the indentation of the stamps around the actual letters. What I did realize is I want them a little smaller. Definitely need to work on these. I like them - but some tweaks need to be made. But I definitely want to keep doing them. I think they'd be adorable on Christmas packages and can later be used as ornaments (if the recipient wants to keep them)!

I love these! The indentation from the stamp makes them more fun & unique!
