I’ve been knee deep in homemade clay making these gift tags
and ornaments-
Here’s How!!
Supplies-
2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
3/4 cup hot water
cookie cutter
paint
custom stamp set
All right??
Ready for this?
So easy, my pre-schoolers make them!
and no they didn’t make these ones
though it may look like it 
LOL
LOLFirst knead your flour, salt, and hot water
until somewhat smooth and elastic
(1-2 min)
Second roll out.
I did mine around 1/4″.
Third- paint.
Fourth;
stamp!
Fifth-
enjoy!!
There is crusty flour stuck to all corners
of my kitchen currently
(thanks to all my helpers!)
But so worth it!!
What would you use these for?

How cool~it'll be like getting a gift with a gift.
Just what I was thinking- which is why I've started to include one in packages from the shop
Cool!!! I think we may seriously make these next week. It's supposed to be dreary, rainy again. I'm thinking of going on a nature walk to look for some limbs and then let the kids color/paint the clay however they desire and turning it all into a mobile for the corner in their school/book area.
That sounds awesome Tami! I love the projects that I can work on right alongside the kiddos
How fun! Ive always liked the no-bake recipes the best
Come to think of it the original recipe said you could dry them in the oven at a low heat. I just decided to make it one less step
Hey, just wanted to let you know that one of your mason jar soap dispensers is featured on Etsy's homepage right now!
Thanks for the heads up Beatle Sue!
I'm humbled that I could make the FP
I love homemade gift tags & gift wrapping
Can't wait to try these—bookmarked!
I found your blog via craftgawker and this post started a HUGE rabbit trail yesterday. I needed something a little "glossier" for an ornament project and this post gave me the idea for that. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi there, I tried to make these today. I am sending my sister and my boyfriend who are both at university some homemade cookies and wanted to put them in a box and gift tag them with one of these gorgeous ceramic ones!
HOWEVER, they would not solidify!! They just stayed like soft dough! What’s the secret?? I felt like I had to bake them maybe, but I know this is a no-bake recipe!
Thanks,
Charlotte xx
Minw keep coming out looking yellowish. How did you get yours to stay so white?
I painted them
Hello, We made these and they are taking a really long time to dry. Is there a baking time and temp for these? Thanks much for any help!
