Joy to the world



Here is a little ornament I have made as part of a gift for someone.  I am managing a couple of homemade touches with some store bought gifts too.  This ornament is made from air dry clay (rolled out and cut out with a cookie cutter) which I poked the lettering into with a skewer and then let dry.  After it was hard I painted it white, sprinkled glitter on while the paint was wet and filled in the holes with red paint.  I then used red and white bakers twine to hang it.  I totally forgot to take photos for a tutorial for this so will do that with my next ornament.  Don't you love this font?  I first saw it at Chez Larsson where she used it in a great project on a plain white cushion (which I totally plan to copy very soon).  It is called superpoint from www.dafont.com.  Which reminds me, if you haven't had a look at Chez Larsson, you are missing out big time.  Get over there and check out all her great stuff!  Benita is the queen of organising so of course I love it.

  1. This is so cute! I think these would look great as gift tags, too- something people can use again and again after the gift has been recieved! You did a great job!

  4. Thanks! I have run out of clay to make more so am going to try this with homemade cornflour 'clay' and see how that works out.

  5. I really love this one Catherine. It also something easy you could for the kids to make little clay animals and then decorate or a tic-tac-toe game etc.......
