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.
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!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Would love to give that a try. Will see if I get a chance this year or if I'll save it for next year :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I am printing it out as I write this so I remember to amek soem next year.
ReplyDeleteThanks! 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.......
